Colour Grading
Method #
This node alters the distribution of colour in the image, useful for matching colours from another video, or tweaking colours to match a specified look.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Active

Blend Amount
Changes the opacity of the new effect over the original image.
Blend Mode (RGB)
Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image RGB.
Blend Mode (Alpha)
Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image alpha.
Affected Channels
Toggle which of the RGBA channels are affected by the effect.
Apply To Solid Geometry Only
Toggle whether the effect should only apply to solid geometry, or the whole of the scene.
Apply To Filled Pixel Only
Only apply to pixels with some content on them. useful for virtual production contexts, where post-fx applied to the front plate shouldn’t apply over the backplate.
