Documentation doesn't really exist yet, but I've started a FAQ page which should answer some of the most common questions.

6cc is a basic "six-vector" secondary color corrector, allowing you to adjust the color spectrum using six "vectors" or "channels": Reds, Greens, Blues, Cyans, Magentas and Yellows.

Vegas already has a secondary color corrector, but it lacks a true six-vector function. 6cc does the job it's designed for with much less effort, and at much faster rendering rates.

• Directly adjust Reds, Greens, Blues, Cyans, Magentas and Yellows without having to "pick" the colors. All six color vectors can be adjusted independently using only one instance of the plugin. (Sony's secondary corrector would require up to SIX instances!)
• Currently allows Hue, Saturation and Lightness (HSL) adjustment.
• Invert your selection to adjust everything but a certain channel.
• 32-bit floating-point precision used internally for high quality (accelerated by SSE/3DNow!).
• It's free! :)

• Sony Vegas 4 or 5 installed. (Does not work with Sony Screenblast Movie Studio, unfortunately.)
• A CPU with support for either SSE or 3DNow! (that is: Intel Pentium III or above, or AMD Athlon/Duron or above).

Screenshots: Example Results, User Interface (v0.9.4)

• 3DNow! support added, which means 6cc now works on original Athlons/Durons!
• Renamed "luminance" to "lightness".
• New feature: "weighted lightness". This makes the lightness slider affect the image proportional to the original saturation, in short: the lightness slider now makes sense. Your saved presets will retain the old mode, but its recommended that this option is always used from now on.
• Rendering performance should now be about twice that of v0.9.4, in both the SSE and 3DNow! engines.
• GUI fix: properly disabling all controls when incompatible CPU found.
• Reorganized the GUI a bit.
• New about-box with diagnostic info for bug reports.

The 6cc plugin is "donationware" - with the binary provided FREE for any use, including commercial purposes, with no fees, royalties or other obligations.

As opposed to "shareware", you're not forced to pay anything if you enjoy and use the software. However, a small voluntary donation would be very welcome, and would help ensure continued development. If you decide to support this software, please use the Paypal link to the left! Thank you!

6cc is developed by Carl Ådahl in his spare time away from doing just about nothing.
