Avid Color Correction lets you perform color corrections on individual segments in a sequence or on multiple segments at the same time. You perform most color correction tasks in Color Correction mode, a distinct toolset that displays the Color Correction tool and a Composer window specially reconfigured for color correction work. The Color Correction tool includes several types of color correction controls, so you can select the ones that are best for your project and working methods.
