How to Adjust Video Color on Mac

Video Adjustment Controls

Vista Player provides four real-time video adjustment controls:

• Brightness — Controls the overall luminance of the video
• Contrast — Controls the difference between dark and light areas
• Saturation — Controls the intensity of colors
• Hue — Shifts the color spectrum

How to Adjust Video Color

1. Play a video file in Vista Player.
2. Open the video adjustments panel from the playback menu.
3. Use the sliders to adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue.
4. Changes are applied in real-time — you will see the effect immediately.
5. Reset to defaults if you want to return to the original settings.

Common Use Cases

Brightening dark scenes

If a scene is too dark to see clearly, increase the brightness slider. You can also increase contrast to make details more visible.

Reducing overly bright content

If a video is too bright or washed out, decrease the brightness and adjust contrast to restore detail.

Enhancing colors

Increase the saturation slider to make colors more vivid. Decrease saturation for a more muted or film-like appearance.

Correcting color casts

If the video has an unwanted color tint, adjust the hue slider to shift the color spectrum and correct the color balance.

Video Adjustments and HDR

When playing HDR content, video adjustments work alongside Vista Player's HDR tone mapping. You can fine-tune brightness and contrast after tone mapping has been applied for optimal viewing on your display.
