There’s no time, the clip is orange, and the client is waiting.



In this short, focused, video tutorial Larry Jordan shows you how to do an automatic color correction in seven steps using the Color Corrector 3-Way filter in Final Cut Pro. This technique is especially useful when time is tight and the clip has a bad color cast — or as the first step toward manual color correction.



In this tutorial, you will learn how to prepare a clip for color correction, how to apply the correct filter, how to set black levels, how to set white levels that are broadcast safe, and how to color correct the clip based on gray-scale values. You’ll also learn the importance of the skin-tone line.
