Color tab improvements.

The new Color tab is a great addition, and I’d love to see it expanded further.

First, when opening the Color tab, the Effects Controls panel should automatically open alongside the sequence and viewer windows. In the current beta, using the object mask tool without that panel visible makes it impossible to view keyframes or use auto-tracking, which disrupts the workflow.

Second, while it’s helpful that we can target either a Clip or an entire Sequence within the Color tab, it would be even more useful to include the ability to target individual tracks. Editors often work with footage from multiple cameras, each with different log curves, and LUTs aren’t always consistent across them. This is especially important since footage isn’t always organized onto a single track.

A potential UI structure could look like:
Clip > Sequence > Track

This added level of control would make color workflows more flexible and efficient.

    Thanks for the feedback! I really love the idea of a track level Scope for providing targeted adjustments to already-organized clips on the timeline.

    In the current beta, you can configure your Color workspace to include as many panels as you desire but thanks for the feedback.

    In the program monitor, there is a switch between clip and sequence playback. You can also set up keyboard shortcuts specifically for the Color mode tab to make it more fluid.
