Color/Brightness Settings group

The Color/Brightness options let you change the brightness, contrast, color and blend of the color palette. The Use Colorization checkbox uses the three color swatches in the Color/Brightness settings group. When Use Colorization is turned off, the original colors of the footage are used.
