color correction in fcpx I am a long time photographer and have been doing more video work over the past few years. One constant source of angst when I need to correct the coloring of the video clips in FCPx. With photographs, I am used to very tight, quick and accurate control over the color and being able to match colors from a wide variety of sources and resulting output being able to look the same.

What I am really looking for is the ability to the same kind of color correction as available in Lightroom, Adobe Bridge, or even Aperture from inside FCPx. For example, I would love to target a particular color and shift it (oranges shifted more magenta, blues a little less green, etc.) And for the rest: recovery, brightness, black, etc. would be marvelous to have the same control.

What FCPx gives me are these very broad-brush, difficult to use, inaccurate tools. I must click and drag a 'light', 'medium', 'dark' and 'overall' slider around to a particular color range and hope it's OK. It's very crude and has none of the finesse and accuracy I can get with Lightroom. There is no ability to target specific colors and work with them individually.

Is there any plug in, tool or something that will enable me to have the same color mastery of video color correction that I now exercise over photography?
I second using Resolve, but there are a few "hidden" color tools you can access if you have Motion, or know someone who does.

Motion allows you to publish effects for use in FCPX and can be transferred from one machine to another.
