DESCRIPTION

Color correction is now an essential part of any edit. Whether you simply need to balance out colors between edits, or if you want to take a more creative angle and use color correction to help tell your story. Final Cut Pro X introduces a new tool set and filters built to help you fix problem footage or help craft your work.

In this webinar you will learn how to set up your Final Cut Pro X interface for efficient color correcting. You will learn about the variety of video filters and effects available to you, identifying which ones are new in FCP X.

EBOOKS YOU MAY LIKE

Conquering the metadata foundations of Final Cut Pro X eBook If you've been using Final Cut Pro for a while the idea of metadata may have slipped past you. Plenty of other software like Aperture, Premiere Pro, and even Final Cut Server, use metadata extensively, but Final Cut Pro 7 and earlier? Not so much. That's changed now with FCP X. FCP X is not just a complete rewrite – it's a rethink of how modern non-linear editing software meets the needs of editors. And part of that rethinking is relying heavily on metadata as a foundation for organizing media in Final Cut Pro X. Learn more about this eBook.
