-The Channels toolbar contains buttons for the Channel Settings dialog and mixer sliders. Manual control of the Channel values is available using the sliders. //**NOTEthat above the slider there is a panel that visualizes the real channel state. If the slider there has a Physics filter, or if the slider value is mixed with audio, than the final Channel values will be different.**// +The Channels toolbar contains buttons for the Channel Settings dialog and mixer sliders.

 Sliders do not follow the channel values. First, the slider is one of the components that decides a channel’s value. Second, as soon as audio comes and the channels start to jump left and right, and you cannot catch the slider’s handle. Because of this, BEYOND has separated the slider status indicators from the sliders themselves. Sliders do not follow the channel values.

 Color channels can be accessed by clicking on the new "color channel" icon located in the top right of the channels tab in the right tabs area. This will open up the color channels window. Color channels can be accessed by clicking on the new "color channel" icon located in the top right of the channels tab in the right tabs area.

-Color channels can either be manually assigned using the color picker tool below, but can also be automatically adjusted by WebCam Video input pixels, or Timeline video input pixels. For manual selection, we can use this to pick colors, but the RGB Values of the color channel can also be adjusted via pangoscript, object animators external inputs and more as color channels are objects on the object tree. +Color channels can either be manually assigned using the color picker tool above, but can also be automatically adjusted by WebCam Video input pixels, or Timeline video input pixels.

 When using WebCam or Timeline video pixels, you can set a specific color channel to be the color of a specific pixel in video. One way this can be used is to create different color channels for different locations of lasers in a setup, and recolor each laser using different color channels. This will allow for matrix kinds of effects and what is normally only seen in led pixel instillations or when video can drive brightness of lighting fixtures over a rig, a newer kind of effect that we are excited to be introducing with color channels.  When using WebCam or Timeline video pixels, you can set a specific color channel to be the color of a specific pixel in video.
