    Final Cut Pro – Color Correcting During a Color Change


    Here’s a faster way to quickly compensate for a shift in color during a scene.

    Lee Berger sent me this tip:

    Here’s another approach using the 3-Way Color Corrector filter. Instead of key framing, split the clip at the change in lighting using the razor tool. Apply the 3-Way Color Corrector filter to each clip, color correct each as necessary. Then apply a dissolve to the split point.

    This makes it easy to shift or extend the transition point without having to deal with keyframes.
