Color Correction and Video Evaluation
Final Cut Pro includes the following new color correction features.
Integration with Color
Final Cut Pro can send sequences to Color for advanced color grading. You can then send
the completed sequence and rendered media back to Final Cut Pro for final output.
Improved Broadcast Safe Filter and New RGB Limit Filter
The Broadcast Safe filter now includes RGB limiting to ensure that your video is
broadcast-legal in both Y´C
B
C
R
and RGB color spaces. The new RGB Limit filter provides
even more fine control over minimum and maximum RGB color values.
Video Scope Brightness Controls
New brightness controls allow you to finely adjust the readout of the Waveform
Monitor, Vectorscope, and other scopes. The graticule (or scale) brightness can be
adjusted independently of the scope readout brightness.
Improved Gamma Handling
Final Cut Pro now allows you to specify how gamma is handled for video media files
using RGB-based codecs (such as Animation and None). Many still-image formats are
also supported, including JPEG and TIFF. You can assign a default gamma level for all
imported clips, and you can also adjust an individual clip’s Gamma Level property in
the Browser or the Item Properties window.
