I'm just learning Color and I have a question: All the necessary adjustments to send my FCP sequence into Color have been made but it doesn't seem to show me the "Original Format" option in the Project Settings tab for Quicktime export Codecs.
Would anyone know why and what I can do?
Thnx! | | | | |
| | | | Hi Walter
I just watched your tutorial and found it very helpful, I'm new in the color grading field so any help is always well appreciated!
What would you suggest me to do since I'm learning this program by myself? I'm reading the Color documentation from the apple website and testing stuff on Color simultaneously. I am very passionate about color grading and want to learn as much as I can.

Walter, maybe I made my comment sound like I didn't get anything from your tut, but I did, and what I learned has already been very useful. Color IS quite a handful and while it is a standalone, I agree it should be about the last thing you use with your FCP project. Thanks for responding, and keep offering freely to others as we do here. | | | | |

Orin, I can't teach you how to use Color in one 5 minute lesson. For that you have to pick up the DVD and even there, 2 hours barely scratches the surface of how to use Color. It's an incredibly deep application that I have been using for almost three years now and I'm still learning nuances on it.
That's why the title of this lesson is "preparing your sequences to go from FCP to Color." There's a lot Color can't handle right now and the biggest hangup people have is not having everything all set before you attempt to go into Color. | | | | |

I found this to be very useful in developing a greater understanding in getting more out of my efforts in FCP. Thank you | | | | |

I apologize if this sounds offensive, but the only thing I got out of this video that I thought was going to be about actually using Color is that I should not use Color until I've done everything else. Maybe the title should be, "What not to do with Color" or "What Color Can't Handle". But, I did learn something and am thankful for the effort by Mr. Biscardi. | | | | |
