Final Cut Pro X is a very capable and robust film editing platform, yet it hasn’t always been known for Color Grading. Fairly recently, Apple updated Final Cut Pro to include a suite of color grading tools to better compete with other programs like Adobe Premiere and Da Vinci Resolve. While it still doesn’t come close in terms of the total list of features, Final Cut Pro color grading tools are capable of achieving beautiful film grades if you know how to use all of the tools available!
The purpose of this video is to introduce you to all of the main tools available and give examples to help you visualize what you could do with the tools in Final Cut Pro to grade your footage. We go through the color board, color curves, color wheels, and the Hue/Saturation Curves, as well as the graphs available in FCPX!
For the sake helping you learn what you need to learn, here are the timestamps for each section of the video:

Awesome stuff. This might be the most detailed color grading tutorial on final cut. Thanks for looking out for us FCPX folks. Usually something like this is always for Premier lol.

Right?! I figured it was time Finale Cut got some real attention!! Haha thanks for the compliment too :)
As a brand new user to FCPx and an iMac ..(27 yrs on Windows)..This is the best color grading tutorial I have seen..I have watched well over 15 other videos and picked up some good info from those... But yours my friend, is the BEST, in my humble opinion. A great help, very thorough and informative. You are a great teacher. Kudos to you!! Keep up the good work. Thank You, Thank You!!! I'm subscribed and look forward to more amazing tutorials from you. Have a great day!!!
To answer a very common question; the numbers that I type in were all found through trial and error before making the video. I spent the time just dragging sliders to positions I felt looked great and then just typed them in to simplify and shorten the length of the video.

This is by far the best Final Cut Pro Color Grading tutorial I've ever seen! I've watch at least 10 or 15 and they were informative, but always pushed luts and never explained beyond the basic color adjustments. I finally understand how to manipulate the color to the specificity I need. I had no idea how to use the curves and hue/sat areas, which is exactly what I was missing. I just started using HLG2 on my Sony A6400 and wanted to know how to make the grading adjustments myself to a precise degree. Thank you so much, Jay

@@TaylorMoore4K My pleasure and seriously, I know how to manipulate raw files in Lightroom and Photoshop using all the adjustment options in detail. What was recently bothering me about Final Cut was lack of sliders and adjustments like in Lightroom for example. The Hue Sat area in particular and all the other options that make it so easy. The missing pieces on how to adjust the colors with precision and everything else has been cleared up. So many times I wanted to make adjustments to certain hues and had no idea how to do it. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this really really informative color grading tips. Probably the most helpful color grading tutorial of the FCPX that I've encountered on KZread!
This is packed with great color grading techniques and tips. It's all in the secret sauce. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for this informative video. It was really helpful. Hopefully i can apply these techniques to my edit. Even though it does seem like a complex task.
Just brilliant! You did lose me with the number values though. Great video, it’s like a quick course and gave me some new perspectives

Excellent thanks. I only really use the color board but I'll try to get a bit more advanced. My problem is just trying to remember what everything does. I can often see skin looking to red for instance but don't know how to make it look.more salmon coloured.
great tutorial! thnx!!
great video , real info
Awesome 👏 Thanks a lot!!!
Cool info very helpful
I have been trying to improve my colour grading for a while now. I watched this throughout and have to say, as much as I loved it, you lost me when you started talking and using the numbers. There was a lot to take in the video. Clearly, I have much learning to do before I start ditching the LUTs but am hungry to learn more. Great video and one of the best, if not the best, I have seen that explains the purely raw considerations regarding grading footage. Thank you.
Great tutorial! Thanks alot ! 👍⛵️🦋
Very, very good. I just wish my aged, addled brain could keep up with half of what you were doing!! I think I will need to watch this over and over again to get it to sink in!!
This is my fifth color grading video in a row and the only one that really taught me. Thank you!

@@TaylorMoore4K For sure. I am still trying to find one to teach me how to get to the "base" levels of saturation and color. Any tips? I want to do the two step process as I am supposed to, but while I can gauge exposure with the wave forms, I'm not 100% sure what I am looking for color-wise.

Why does nobody share such beautiful information???. Great informative video ❤️❤️👌👌👌👌👌 which saved my money in purchasing LUTS 😄😄😄
LUTs get a lot of hate, but can be incredibly useful tools. For example, the (free) LUTs that FCPX includes to transform log footage to Rec 709 are a lifesaver, because they save so much time. I like to use those, then start my grade from there!
Thank you very much ! Great video

great video bro, the only problem is the fact is hard to noobs like me to understand how you achieved the values you added into the colors tools. if you don't bother, it could be a new video to you, explaining it into details.
Great video 😍🔥🔥 Can you upload on sound quality also please🙏🏻🥺
Can you find flat profile footage on storyblocks to practice?
