DESCRIPTION

With the release of Final Cut Pro X, Apple updated all of the color correction tools in the software. Moving from YUV to RGB color space, with an unlimited number of color corrections per clip, as well as new color correction controls, there’s a lot of new things to learn.

In this one-hour online training session, host Larry Jordan illustrates how to use FCP X to analyze video clips, examine media using the new scopes, showcases the automatic color correction tools, and provide a step-by-step guide in manually color correcting clips.

If you are looking for ways to make your images look better, you need to see this session. From the very simple to the highly complex, Larry explains how they all work and what you need to know to make your pictures look great.
