BCC Correct Selected Color
Category: BCC Color & Tone
Effect Name: BCC Correct Selected Color
The BCC Correct Selected Color filter, part of the BCC Color & Tone category, allows you to adjust a specified range of colors in the source image, leaving colors outside the range unaffected. To correct two or more separate colors within an image, apply the Correct Selected filter as many times as needed.
Working with the Filter
Presets and Common Controls
- BCC filters come with a library of factory installed presets plus the ability to create your own custom presets and preview them with the BCC FX Browser™.
- BCC filters also include common controls that configure global effect preferences and other host-specific effect settings.

Effect Controls
Mocha Mask and Track
Continuum effects include integrated masking and matte tools that allow you to restrict the effect to specific regions of the image.
- Mocha masks: used to create custom spline masks. Mocha also includes Matte Assist ML and Matte Refine ML, which use machine learning to generate and track masks.
- Pixel Chooser: used to generate geometric shapes, gradients, or mattes based on channel, luma, or color-based selections. Additionally, an AI depth map generator, and an AI-powered face detection model allow for precise control of masks and mattes.
Note: Mocha can also be used to drive geometric parameters. See the Mocha Motion Tracker documentation for details.
For more information, see Mocha and Pixel Chooser.
Compare Mode
The Compare Mode is used to view the filtered result alongside the original source layer. Several split-screen and side-by-side display options are available.
For more information, see Compare Mode.
- View: Allows you to set the viewer to display various outputs for the Color Gradient.
- Output: Shows the default look of the BCC Correct Selected Color filter on the image.
- Matte: Shows the the matte created by the effect.
- Source: Shows the the unfiltered source clip.
- Color Matching:
Sets how the filter matches colors.
- RGB: Matches colors in RGB space.
- HSL: Matches colors in HSL (Hue, Saturation, and Lightness) space.
- Chroma: Matches colors based on Hue and Saturation only.
- Hue: Matches colors based on Hue alone.
- Color:Sets the color of the pixels to correct. For best results, use the eyedropper to select the color from your source image.
- Color Range:Determines the extent of the range of colors to correct. A setting of 0 applies corrections only to pixels that exactly match the Selected Color. Increase the Color Range value to apply corrections to a wider range of colors.
- Blend:Creates a blend between the selected and unselected regions in the filtered image.
- Blur Matte:blurs the matte created by the filter between the selected and unselected regions.
- Choke:Applies a choke to the image. Positive Choke values tighten the matte around the selected regions, while negative values pull the matte away from the edges of the selected regions.
- Reverse Color Range:Reverses the range of colors to be corrected.
- Brightness: Adjusts the brightness of the image.
- Contrast: Adjusts the contrast of the image.
- Hue: Cycles the colors in the image around the color wheel in the HSL color space.
- Hue Fine Control: Fine tunes the Hue parameter in increments of 1.
- Saturation: Adjusts the intensity of each color’s hue in the image.
- Output Black: Sets the luminance level of black pixels.
- Output White: Sets the luminance of white pixels.
- Blur Amount: Sets the amount of blur applied to the color corrected image.
- Blur:
determines when the blur is applied to the color corrected image.
- Post Correct: Blurs the selected color before the color correction is applied.
- Pre Correct: Blurs the selected color after the color correction is applied.
- Off: Turns the blur off.
- Blur Quality: Sets the quality of the Blur used to soften the color corrected image. Box is the fastest option and is generally adequate. The remaining choices, Low, Medium, High and Highest produce soft shadows of increasing quality.
- Mix with Original: Blends the source and filtered images. Use this parameter to animate the effect from the unfiltered to the filtered image without adjusting other settings, or to reduce the effect of the filter by mixing it with the source image.
