• Color Corrector (Secondary): This is the crown jewel. It allows you to isolate a specific color range (e.g., a blue car or an actor's red shirt) and change only that color without affecting the rest of the frame.
• Color Balance: Adjusts shadows, midtones, and highlights independently. Perfect for fixing tungsten vs. fluorescent lighting mismatches.
• Levels & Curves: For true colorists. Curves allow precise contrast manipulation using a graph. The "Pre-activated" version meant no watermark, unlike trial versions of competing software.
• Black & White: Not just desaturation. This plugin mimics classic film stocks with channel mixing (e.g., simulating a red filter for dramatic skies).

3. Vocal & Dialogue Tools

• Pitch Shift: Changes voice tone (helium vs. demon). Pre-activated meant no beeps or voice cuts after 30 seconds.
• Vocal Eraser: A primitive but effective tool for removing center-panned vocals from stereo music tracks to create karaoke versions.
