Answers.Text: Thanks for the reply. I figured this wouldn't happen without some sort of keyframe kind of thing. I guess in the future if I have it set to auto, I will make sure it is completely adjusted to the room (it's too bad, it must have been when the hall lights dimmed or something)

Body: <p>I was filming a music recital when the color autocorrected on my canon g10. I am new at all of this, but I recently bought final cut pro x and I was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction for correcting this. There is a 5 second period in the video where the colors shift from dark to light, how would I go about smoothing this out in post? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
