Color Correction Editor
The Avid Liquid Color Correction Editor provides primary and secondary color correction functions,
including the necessary diagnostic tools (such as the Waveform Monitor and Vectorscope).
The first part of this section will provide you with an overview of the editor’s elements and functions.
The second part contains a brief discussion of color theory, which you can skip if you’re already familiar
with color correction. The third part provides you with a detailed description of all the parameters of the
primary and secondary correction modules along with several examples.
Tip: If you read this chapter in the online PDF file, you’ll be able to view all the illustrations in color,
which is very helpful for this particular subject.
Primary color corrections are displayed in real time (with Avid Liquid , as a GPU-based effect; with
Avid Liquid Blue , via the hardware). Secondary color corrections are rendered.
