Balance a clip’s colors
Clips in Final Cut Pro have a Balance setting that turns automatic color balance correction on and
off, whether the clip is in the Browser or the Timeline. The frame used as the reference frame is
either a frame chosen during color balance analysis, the frame the playhead is on in the Timeline,
or the middle frame. For more information, see
