White Balance — Fix Color Temperature In Seconds

White balance is the first color step in any clean grade. If the whites aren't white, every other adjustment chases the cast instead of solving it. Skrrol AI's white balance panel exposes the same controls a desktop colorist uses: a temperature slider that warms or cools the image, a tint slider that shifts green-magenta, and an eyedropper that samples a pixel in the frame and neutralizes the cast based on that sample. Most clips are fixed in seconds — drop the eyedropper on something you know should be white (a wall, a t-shirt, a plate, a piece of paper) and the panel rebalances the entire image in one click.

Where white balance gets tricky is mixed lighting and multi-clip projects. A scene shot under tungsten lights with daylight bleeding through a window has two color temperatures fighting for dominance, and there's no single perfect setting — but Skrrol's split white-balance lets you balance shadows and highlights independently when the lights diverge. Across a multi-clip project shot in different rooms or during different times of day, the per-clip WB controls plus the Match White Balance command let you align every clip to a reference frame so the whole edit reads as one consistent piece. White balance integrates with HSL, wheels, and LUT layers so it's the foundation step before stylized grading rather than a hack added at the end.
