Re: [Avid-L2] MC Class 205 ish tip to keep lumanence peaks down.

In the old days we used to drop a color effect in order to limit RGB and
Lumma to 235, now as Johm says, you can do that woth curves in the color
correction tool and if you want to limit and cut averything beyond 100% you
can use the Sage Color Limiter from the Image effect pallete.
