Guide title
Balance shadows, midtones and highlights separately with FFmpeg colorbalance
Coverage
For editors fixing a colour cast or building a split-tone look from the command line. You end with a clip whose colour is shifted separately in shadows, midtones and highlights. Based on the FFmpeg manual; no command was run and colour judgment needs a trusted display.
Example
A hypothetical shot with slightly blue highlights, corrected by nudging the blue highlight control a little negative and comparing with a neutral reference; not run.
Useful starting points
- With every value at 0 the picture should be unchanged.
- Change one tonal range at a time and check that neutral surfaces and skin tones still look right.
- If the image gets brighter or darker, the lightness-preserving option is off by default.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
