 You are just back from your video shoot and discover that all your footage is blue, or WAY under-exposed. After the screaming stops, what do you do? This session is designed to explain common color correction terms, show you how to read video scopes, analyze your footage, fix exposure and color problems, and make sure all your projects meet technical specs for white levels and chroma saturation.
In this one-hour Final Cut Pro tutorial, Larry Jordan shows you what you need to know to successfully understand and use video scopes and the Color Corrector 3-way filter to improve the look of your video. Using step-by-step techniques and actual media, Larry explains terms, illustrates the four different video scopes in Final Cut, and shows you how to use them to color correct your video to make it look great.
