maybe I missed this, but is there a way to change the color of an already existing Input color slide?

Also, whats the easiest way to change the percentage of illumination? I ask because I have to match corporate colors...which are CMYK, not RGB.

Maybe I need to use an external color picker app.....

Thanks

found a nice color picker called Instant Eyedropper.

BUMP please - can a color be changed in once its created (like if its used as a background)?

Thanks

@ HWL

My guess is NO...
At least I have never figured out how to.
I would suggest setting up multiple colour inputs or graphic inputs with your colour of choice and switch among them.

maybe a good future add-on - with an input panel for RGB (custom sample).

There is a color adjust but that doesnt let you enter new values....just adjust whats already there.

Thanks

Click the cog icon under the colour input, then from the top of Input Settings click the Change button and select a different colour!

I found this topic when preparing for this related feature request. @HWL, feel free to check it out and comment my request.

Martin,
I am not sure if I am missing something, but it seems to me that Custom defined colours are not saved (17.0.0.107). I was kind of curious if the save was per Colour Input or per Preset (all existing/future Colour Inputs).

Thanks.

When color absolutely must be corporate correct I always spend the time in Photoshop to make static images. That way there's no possibility that something small will wreck the color rendering.

Photoshop also makes it simple to xref RGB and CMYK values.

I'm also a great fan of explicit alpha channels. Old skool that way. Stems from days spent running a Quantel Paintbox.

Hi HWL,

I also have to use correct corporate colors for my shows. You can use black as the basic color and with color-adjust you can put the rgb sliders in the right posistion. The colors are now ok.
I also use this for lower 3rd graphics. Standard i've gat a black or grey gradient graphic and in vmix i put in the right rgb color.

It would be great if you could put in a hex code.

Because we have a greenscreenstudio, we use a virtual background where some elements also need to have the right color. So i use multi channel to compile the background. 1 layer is black (for the corporate color). layer 2 has the studio elements en layer 3 the camera.
In this way i can change the color.

Hope this will help you.
