Many FCPX users tout the app for a quicker editing workflow and Apple continues to add new features\/updates on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Cut Pro X<\/strong> is also quite powerful when it comes to <strong>color correction<\/strong>. In the following video by <strong><a title=\"MacBreak Studio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pixelcorps.tv\/macbreak_studio\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">MacBreak Studio<\/a><\/strong> we take a look at a few <strong>easy color correction techniques<\/strong> in FCPX. The video covers what&#8217;s called secondary color correction, instead of primary color correction. The difference between primary and secondary color correction is secondary color correction deals with <strong>individual colors<\/strong> in the shot while primary correction deals with the entire frame. To perform secondary color corrections FCPX creates masks which are explained in detail in the video. The video covers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Basic Color Correction Techniques<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Primary vs. Secondary Color Correction<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Adding Color Masks<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Using Waveforms<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Using the Duplicate Button<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>One of the useful keyboard commands brought up in the tutorial is holding down the <strong>shift key<\/strong> to add more color variations to your mask. This is super helpful when you are wanting to select more than one color to mask out.<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ik74ms7Q1NE?list=PL607BE2B2BFE9BE1A\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"485\" height=\"273\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>This video was first shared by the awesome guys out at MacBreak Studio.
