Color



Brightness

Adjusting brightness changes the overall lightness or darkness of the video. When you increase brightness, the entire video becomes brighter, while reducing brightness makes it darker.

Contrast
Adjusting contrast changes the difference between the lightest and darkest areas of the video. When you increase contrast, the brighter areas of the video become brighter and the darker areas become darker, making the image look more dynamic and vivid. Conversely, reducing contrast makes the bright areas less bright and the dark areas less dark, resulting in a flatter and less detailed video.

Hue
Adjusting hue changes the overall color balance of a video. The hue is a specific attribute of color that indicates its position on the color spectrum, such as red, blue, or green. When you adjust the hue, you shift the colors in the video toward a different part of the color spectrum.

Saturation
Adjusting saturation changes the intensity or vibrancy of colors in a video. When you increase saturation, the colors become more intense and vibrant, while reducing saturation makes the colors more muted and less intense.

Transparency
Adjusting transparency changes the degree to which a video or element is visible or allows other elements to show through it. When you decrease transparency, the video becomes more see-through.
