Most good editors provide color-correcting tools, and I
would be VERY surprised if VV3 did not accommodate this
basic editing function... BTW, if you are working with RGB,
yellow is R+G, so either remove some of these or add the
opposite B (most likely with the color filters in the
program...). You can also apply contrast/brightness,
tone-adjust, and saturation filters to further improve
the image appearance. BTW, there are some adjusted frames
in the examples at
