By default when you are color correcting and adding color grading on video clips, the adjustments are applied to every single frame in the video, i.e. the entire video clip. However, you can use keyframes to only apply the adjustments on just the frames of video you want modified, by defining the start and end points in the keyframe settings panel.
When in the Adjustment module, click to open the keyframe settings panel.


You can use keyframes to define the start and end points of every type of adjustment in CyberLink ColorDirector, giving you full control over the process. Every adjustment item has keyframe controls for the timeline in the keyframe settings panel.

To use keyframes when making adjustments to video clips, do this:
1. | Select the video clip in the storyboard and then click the button to display the keyframe settings panel. |
2. | Use the keyframe timeline to find the frame in your video clip where you want the adjustments to begin and end. See Keyframe Timeline for more information. |
3. | Add keyframes as required to mark where the adjustments begin and end. See Adding Keyframes for more information. |

|
Note: keyframes are also added to the keyframe timeline if you change the shape, position, or size of a regional adjustment mask.
