Color & Effects
Grade color with the Color tab and LUTs, key out backgrounds, and build custom effects.
Color grading

An orientation to the Color tab — its master switch, LUTs, adjustment modules, and color wheels — and which control to reach for.

Apply a camera conversion LUT, a creative look LUT, or your own uploaded .cube file from the Color tab.

Reference for the Light, Color, and Creative sliders in the inspector's Color tab, with each control's range and default.

Grade a single clip end to end in Sequence's Color panel — open the Color tab, work down the controls, and animate the result over time.

Push a color cast into shadows, midtones, or highlights with the three-way color wheels in the Color tab.

Read Sequence's video scopes — waveform, histogram, and vector scope — and set the overlays and units a colorist uses to grade a frame.
Keying and compositing

Use the Chroma Key module in the Color tab to make a green- or blue-screen background transparent, then tune the Threshold.
Use the Blend module in the Color tab to control how a clip's pixels combine with the layers beneath it, and to set clip opacity.

How to fade clips in Sequence with opacity and volume keyframes — and why there are no built-in transitions.
Effects

Custom effects are effects you bring yourself and apply to any clip, with adjustable controls that show up right in the Effects tab.

Bring your own effect into Sequence — paste it into the effect Library, publish it, and apply it to any clip with the adjustable controls you expose.
