Source color modification on a digital nonlinear editing system
View Patent ↗A system and method for generating a representation of a color modification to be applied to segments on a digital nonlinear editing system, where each segment is a component of a media composition, and represents a section of a digital media. An indication of a modification to be applied to a color attribute of a segment is received, and the source from which the segment originates is identified. The indication of the color modification is then stored, and, as a result, the color modification is applied to other segments that originate from the identified source. Source color modification is applied to a section of a digital media on a digital nonlinear editing system. a media segment represents the section of a digital media. The segment is a component of a media composition, and originates from a source data structure. The source data structure also represents the section of the digital media. The section is received, and the first source data structure from which the segment originates is identified. It is determined whether the first source data structure includes a color modification attribute, where the color modification attribute defines a color modification to be applied to sections of the digital media represented by segments that originate from the source data structure. If the source data structure includes the color modification attribute, the color modification is applied to the section of media.
