5. Select a channel by Keys 1-5 to grade
Channels are buttons that must be kept pressed.
There are basically 3 channels to manipulate. Red, green and blue. Additionally there we can adjust the Saturation.
The following keys are used as standard:
-
1 - red
2 - green
3 - blue

Once you have decided on a mode, you can now hold down one or more color channel Keys simultaneously and move the mouse to the right and left (Default).
Grading in Fullscreen
1. Grade in Cut Page
You no longer have to switch to the Color Page to grade. With Chromate you can now easily grade in the cut page.
2. Grade in Fullscreen
Chromate allows you to grade in full screen without the Resolve GUI. In the Cut Page as well as in the Color Page. In the fullscreen of the Cut Page you can also switch on the scopes to get even more control over your grading.
