Applying the Safe Color Limiter Effect
A common scenario for applying the Safe Color Limiter effect is to apply it to filler on the
top track in the Timeline so that the effect acts on the entire duration of the sequence.
Depending on your needs, you might also want to apply a Safe Color Limiter effect to a
single segment in a sequence, or to multiple selected segments.
To apply the Safe Color Limiter effect:
1. Set the default safe color limits you want the Safe Color Limiter effect to use.
For more information, see “Managing Safe Color Warnings” on page 849.
2. (Option) If you want to apply the effect across the entire duration of the sequence, add a
new video track in the Timeline, for example, by selecting Clip > New Video Track.
3. Do one of the following:
t If you are applying the Safe Color Limiter effect to the entire duration of the
sequence, drag the effect from the Image category of the Effect Palette, and drop it
on the empty top video track.
The top video track shows filler material with the Safe Color Limiter effect applied
to it, and your Avid editing application limits all of the video material in the
sequence according to the limit values you set in step 1.
t Apply the effect to one or more segments using standard methods, as described in
“Applying Effects From the Effect Palette” on page 36.
Your Avid editing application limits the video in the segment or segments to which
you applied the effect according to the limit values you set in step 1.
By default, when the Effect Editor is open, the effect changes the display in the Source
monitor to an analysis mode that highlights pixels in the image that fall outside the
current safe color limits. For more information on using and understanding this display,
see “Using the Safe Color Limiter Analysis Display” on page 856.
4. If necessary, enter Effect mode and adjust effect parameters in the Effect Editor.
For more information, see “Adjusting Effects” on page 41. You can adjust the low or
high limit values for each limit type (composite, luminance, or RGB gamut). You can
select the units used to measure the limit values. You can also turn the effect analysis
display on or off. For reference information on all the Safe Color Limiter effect
parameters, see “Image: Safe Color Limiter” on page 593.
