Introduction
RGB Channels are a special channel in HLS that consist of three output channels each. These would generally be used with RGB strings and display items, both "dumb" RGB and Pixels. However, they can also be used to reduce channel counts of "mega strings", or strings composed of three different color strands which are contained together in one.
RGB Channels in the Sequence Window
RGB Channels, when displayed in the sequence window, will place "RGB" in front of the HLS Channel name. This helps distinguish which HLS channels are RGB channels. When adding effects to RGB channels, HLS will use a white color by default. Once you have added white effects, you can right-click on the effects, choose Modify, and change the color.
Managing Color when Adding Effects
Effects for RGB channels work the same as effects for regular channels. The difference is the addition of the color variable. While the previous sub-section mentioned a way you can sequence all in white and add color later, HLS has built in tools to allow you to apply basic effects in the color desired.
In the HLS window, there are colored effect buttons for Level, Ramp Up, and Ramp Down. See Figure 5-26. When you first open a sequence, these are red. The rectangle to the right of the buttons can be pressed which will open the Color Picker (See Figure 5-27).
- Click and open the Color Picker.
- Select a color for the effect you wish to add.
- Click OK to close the Color Picker and activate chosen color.
- Select desired grid cells to apply the effect, then click the colored effect button.
- Tip: Once you have clicked the colored effect button, you can now use the Keyboard Shortcuts to add additional effects to RGB channels. These effects will now be added with the picked color.
