In-Depth: Advanced Color Correction in Final Cut Pro
Color correction isn’t only about fixing improper white balance or color temperature, but also about creating a consistent look or style in your scene. Even the most technically calibrated image can be enhanced with Final Cut Pro’s powerful color correction abilities. In this session, we will show you how to use Final Cut Pro’s video scopes and range check tools to evaluate your video. You will learn how to use the color corrector filters to improve poorly shot footage, how to perform comparisons to achieve shot-to-shot consistency, and how to do spot correction to enhance specific areas of a shot.

Designing DVD Menus and Transitions with Motion
DVD Studio Pro’s menu and transition templates are nice, but eventually, you’ll want to create your own. This session will show you how to use Motion to do exactly that. See how to integrate the different software in Final Cut Studio to design looping animated video backgrounds and text, and learn how to use matting techniques to create your own transition effects. Throw Adobe Photoshop into the mix to do tricks with button overlays, add a little bit of Soundtrack Pro to create looping audio, and bring another level of
sophistication to your DVD menus.
Audience: For intermediate to advanced Final Cut Studio users.
