Color Workspace
Grade an explicitly selected timeline, composition, or media source.
Updated June 21, 2026Color workspace
Color opens with no source selected. Choose the timeline, composition, or media item you intend to grade instead of automatically loading unrelated clips.
Source types
Timeline exposes its clips in the Color strip. Composition is treated as one rendered source. Media is treated as one direct source clip.
Grading tools
The workspace contains primary controls, curves, qualifiers, power windows, tracking, LUT handling, color nodes, gallery stills, comparison modes, and scopes.
Color management
The packaged OpenColorIO and ACES configuration supports managed input, working, display, and output transforms. Existing projects retain their saved color settings.
Apply and deliver
Timeline grades remain clip-local. Media or composition source grades can be applied back to their source-level state. Export resolves the active Color source rather than an unrelated timeline.
Beta note
Use scopes and a calibrated display for critical work. Hardware behavior, HDR delivery, and complex tracking should be verified on the target system.
