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:

    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!

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.

    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!
