SESSION DESCRIPTION

It’s been a couple of years since we last looked at color in Final Cut Pro. If you’ve been wondering what the color tools do, or how to make them work better, this session is for you.

Join host, Larry Jordan, as he showcases how to use the color tools in FCP. This session includes:

  • Quick color fixes using automatic color enhancement
  • How to read & modify the four video scopes
  • How to fix gray-scale and color problems
  • How to use the Comparison Viewer
  • How to use object tracking to fix color problems
  • How to keyframe color corrections
  • When to apply the Broadcast Safe effect
  • How to change picture elements using the Hue/Saturation curves
  • How to work with HDR media in an SDR timeline

NOTE: This session won’t cover creating an HDR project.

While color grading is a vast subject, this webinar is a fast way to lift your color skills to the next level.
