Highlights: The brightness in your footage.

Use this slider to adjust the white point in your footage - generally using this before your ‘highlights’ slider is better because you can set your white point and alter the highlights from there. |
Blacks: The black point in your footage, that alters the darkness of your footage.
| Info |

Use this slider to adjust the black point in your footage - generally using this before your ‘shadows’ slider is better because you can set your black point and alter the shadows from there. |
