Recently there was a question posted here in the PD8 forum about the Fix/Enhance page, asking if there was a way (since there is an absence of key frames for the Color Adjustment tool), to have a clip gradually fade to a higher level of color saturation.

For anyone interested, here is a demonstration to “one” possible pre-production workaround (though there are probably others), to achieve this saturation fade effect.

Notes:
- Even though the demonstrated workaround is applied to a color saturation fade, in theory, it could also be applied (in variations), to other effects and tools in PD8 that don’t have key frames built in.

- Pre-producing a high saturation copy, and then just applying that to the main project would work too. But without pre-producing both clips in PIPs, and using copy/paste to maintain an exact sizing of the clips, it would be difficult to get a perfect placement of a PIP copy on top of the original clip in the Master track.
Plus you wouldn’t be able to also take advantage of the all transistions in the Transistion room, as those transistions can’t be applied to PIPs.
And when pre-producing segments, if one just stays with the same format throughout, there is little to no effect on quality.

Or am I just over thinking all of this? Maybe I should just take up woodworking, hahaha.
