Hi, good question. The main reason is that our “look” is really a blob of data as far as Avid is concerned, and all the separate tools and parameters are our own. This is a common request to allow keyframing of some type inside LooksBuilder. We are looking at doing something to hopefully allow this in the future. in the meantime I’m afraid only single Looks on cuts.

Thanks for the question.

Thanks guy from Red Giant for chiming in …. I’ll look at the left / right dragging thing more specifically when I fire it up again in a few days.

Hey guys, just noticed this question. I’m engineering manager at Red Giant and was hoping I could help out. We actually designed the luminance sliders on the outsides of the color wheels to respond to dragging to the right and left. Right should make it brighter (towards white) and left should make it darker (towards black). Up and down might occasionally jump from left to right and visa versa, so maybe this is the problem you are experiencing? If not, please let me know so we can figure out if there is a bug.

Thanks, and if you like you are welcome to e-mail me directly at micah@redgiantsoftware.com, or of course I can post any help here too for others to see.

Hey guys I don’t think we have a report of this issue in our bug database for the color wheel issue. I will take a look at the wheel luminance controls and see if I can replicate.

I’ve kind of seen the same thing DaNni. I have a track ball that has a hold function for dragging so I usually use then when dragging those sliders but it does seem that it has a few problems at some point in certain drags. I’ll look at this more specifically when I review it.

In my experience Colorista has some kind of interface problems when adjusting the lift, gamma, gain (or however the level adjustments on the outer wheels are called) when clicking and dragging. I drag the mouse either vertically, horizontally or in circles, but whenever the cursor reaches the 45degrees corners of the circle it gets stuck or turns back. The only solution is to click once on the target but then it’s a click-error proccess and you loose the interactivity and feedback.

Am I doing anything worng or is this a known problem?
