Step 2: Apply the Filter Drag the Color Corrector 3-Way filter from the Effectstab to the Timeline and drop it onto the clip that you wish to perform the effect on. Applying this particular filter won’t let you see an instant change in the clip, however, as it requires you to further manipulate the filter’s parameters.

Step 3: Load the Clip into theViewer Window Double-click on the Timeline clip to load the clip back into the Viewer window and park the Playhead over the clip so you can see the changes in the Canvas window. Now that the clip has been loaded into the Viewer, you are able to access the parameters of the Color Corrector 3-Way filter you have applied to the clip. Although this step is quite elementary, it has the potential to create amess if forgotten, especially if you’ve applied the same filter to multiple clips in the Timeline. Make sure you have both loaded the appropriate clip into the Viewer before you make changes to an applied filter and parked the playhead on top of that clip, or you’ll be left scratching your head as to why you don’t see the changes showing up. If you don’t do these two things, you could end upmanipulating the filter parameters for a clip other than the one that is currently loaded into the Viewer. If you’re applying the effect to a single clip in the Timeline, this is less of an issue.

Step 4: Access the Color Corrector 3-Way FilterParameters The top portion of the Viewer window now displays the Color Corrector 3-Way tab. Click on the tab to access the parameters of the filter you have assigned to the clip. The Viewer window will display the filter controls. Locate the small disclosure triangle located at the bottom left corner of the box and click on it to reveal the Limit Effect Parameters.

Step 5: Isolate a Color The nextstep is to carefully choose the color you want to isolate. The Limit Effect controls most of the parameters used to achieve this effect. Click on the eyedropper tool located on the right-hand side of the Limit Effect controls and, moving to the Canvas window, use the eyedropper to select the color you wish to isolate.
