Give a clip a look
- Select the clip. With nothing selected (or a title or a sound), a look from Effects › Looks goes on the whole video; pick another and it replaces that look.
- Open Colour in the left rail (Advanced), or Effects › Looks.
- Pick a look, for example Vivid, Warm, Cool, Soft or Vintage. Original takes it off.
- Set Strength to blend it in.
