As I understand it - and I could be wrong - but secondaries in a DaVinci are based on a type of keying technology. Just a different front end and UI. Sometimes when trying to isolate a certain color in a DaVinci you will see all the halmarks of trying to pull a "chroma key" on an unfriendly setup.

The difference between a secondary cc and delective cc is in the way the selection of the colour to be adjusted is done. Our selective cc uses a keyer to create a matte in the alpha channel while a secondary cc makes a selection directly from the colour itself. No keying. It is a more precise selection.

I have always wondered this: What is the difference between a “proper” secondary color corrector and the function provided by the “selective color correction” preset. Doesn’t a secondary color corrector selectively color correct a certain range of colors, without affected the others? If we renamed the “selective color corrector” preset to say “secondary color corrector”, would that fix the problem? What are we missing out on that other color correctors provide, as I have never used any others.

Thanks!

There’s a pre-built effects tree preset in Image effects for secondary color correction, or you can build one yourself using a keyer to pull a matte of the desired color which you would use as a mask for color correction ... no “proper” secondaries in cc unfortunately.

How do you all do this in DS? I need to pull the red out of a shot without affecting the other colors.
