What visuals covers
Everything that decides how a frame looks once the cut is locked: exposure, white balance, contrast, and the grade on top of them. The order matters more than the tools — correcting a shot so it is accurate, then matching it to the shots around it, then giving the whole sequence a look. Reversing that order is why so many graded videos have one shot that will not sit with the rest.
| Correct | Make the shot accurate: neutral whites, recoverable highlights, shadows that are not crushed. |
|---|---|
| Match | Make the shots agree with each other, which is where most of the time goes. |
| Grade | Apply the look last, to a sequence that already agrees with itself. |
