Colour Tool Order

Colour tools are effects such as Keyer, Channel Mixer, RGB Curves and SOP. They exist inside the Master and CC Layers.

The default order of the tools can be changed in both the GUI and the Control Panel by editing the an application preference file :

 C:\PRODUCT\VERSION\root\Users\Default\general.prefs

GUI Tool Order

Two preference file options set the tool order :

defaultRealTimeEffectIDs	Master Layer tool order
defaultSecondaryCCEffectIDs	Base and CC Layer tool order

Format

Note that each option should be on a single line in the preference file.

Some tools must stay in the default position in the layer. These are identified in GREEN.

 defaultRealTimeEffectIDs "ChannelMixer" "Saturation" "KelvinTint" "SlopeOffsetPower" "PrinterLights" 
   "RGBMLevels" "LiftGammaGain" "Balance" "DifferentialColorCorrect" "BrightnessContrast" "RGBMCurves"
