Adjust Tone on Windows
This guide introduces how to adjust tone in color correction. Tone adjustment can change the effect of the color of your video looks or increase the quality if the video is not ideal when shooting.

Adjust the Tonal Scale to Videos on Windows
Follow the procedure below to adjust the tone scale.
Step 1: Add the needed clip
After launching the application, you can import the media from your computer. Or you can drag the clip directly to the bottom processing interface.
Step 2: Activate the color feature
Click the video in the timeline. In the property panel on the right side of the interface, select Color > Basic > Color. Click the button beside Color to change the settings.

Step 3: Change precise settings
Adjust the effects of the video based on your needs from five aspects: Exposure, Brightness, Contrast, Vibrance, and Saturation. Click Ok when you have set the values. The general function of the precise settings is listed below:
- Exposure: It's used to modify the nonideal exposure in the video. Drag the slider to the right to increase tonal values and expand highlights, or drag the slider to the left to decrease tonal values and expand shadows.
- Brightness: It's used to adjust the brightness of the video. Drag the slider to the right with a positive value to make the video brighter, or drag the slider to the left with a negative value to make the video darker.
- Contrast: It's used to adjust the contrast between light and dark. Drag the slider to the right will make dark areas darker and light areas lighter, or drag the slider to the left to make darks lighter and lights darker.
- Vibrance: It's used to adjust the intensity of muted colors and saturated colors. Drag the slider to the right to increase the intensity of muted colors while leaving saturated colors untouched. Drag the slider to the left will make the video look gray.
- Saturation: Using this setting to adjust the saturation of color. Drag the slider to the right to increase the color intensity. This operation will make the video more intensely colored. To reduce the color intensity, you can drag the slider to the left. This step makes the video fade or desaturate and look gray.
Remove Tonal Scale Settings
You can click the Return icon beside the corresponding feature to remove the specific adjustment. If you want to delete all Color settings, you can click the return icon beside the Color tab.

Keyframes on Tone
Filmora 12 enables you to create color changes with keyframes.
If you want to change the color at one or several points during a single video, you need to click the keyframe icon beside the return icon and change the color settings in the property panel. Once added several keyframes, the system will export the outcome with natural changes of color.
