Learn how to use Continuum’s Color Link effect to enhance your shots. This tutorial walks through colorizing shots using source footage, isolating effects with Mocha masking and Face ML, and enhancing realism with the new Diffuse Color Displacement feature in Continuum 2026. Perfect for VFX artists and motion designers looking to add depth and polish to their work.

// K E Y P O I N T S //
⦁ Use Continuum’s Color Link to transfer color from one shot to another.
⦁ Mocha’s Mask ML and Pixel Chooser isolate effects to specific regions—like keeping butterflies off the model’s face while projecting them onto the background.
⦁ New in Continuum 2026: Diffuse Color Displacement adds realistic depth by displacing the source footage based on the target, making overlays wrap naturally around the contours of your shot.
⦁ Face ML enables fast, feature-specific masking—like tinting only the lips—without manual roto work, streamlining facial effects.
