  • Can`t clear a color correction

    Posted by Brian Waz on September 26, 2010 at 5:20 pm

    After a move from an older avid to MC5, I find when I open the color corrector and make adjustments, but find I can never easily close the color correction window. I used to just escape and it would close, is there a simple way to close it? As well, when I first open the color corrector, the tools always hides in behind my timeline until I click on one of the three CC windows, then back on the tools. Can i just get the CC tools on top? Thanks as always

    I like to use workspaces to jump in and out of the color corrector. Either use the workspaces as they come set-up in Avid, or change them to your liking and save.

    I also do this by setting up my workspace with shortcut keys, so I can hit a key for cc, editing, or audio editing that has my audio tools up. I also edit with “backwards default pc windows” with my timeline and monitors on the left instead of the right. I do this because of my migration to MC from Xpress, and I like having my toolbar there as well as my PC taskbar shortcuts below. The other editor here, however, uses the default timeline/monitors in the right pc monitor, so I have another workspace key shortcut for this arrangement. Otherwise, the bins are underneath my timeline/monitors.

    The customization of Avids are definitely one of it’s advantages!

    Good luck!
