Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1354)

• Visual button (appears when viewing the numeric controls): Click this button to view the
visual controls for that filter in the color correction tab.
• Keyframe controls: A set of three keyframe controls allows you to keyframe all of the
settings in a color correction filter at once. To keyframe individual settings of a color
correction filter, you need to use the filter’s numeric controls.
There are two ways to keyframe color correction changes over time. Using a filter’s
visual controls, you can place single keyframes that include the settings of every
parameter of the color correction filter. If you set one keyframe, move the playhead
ahead several seconds, and make further adjustments to the visual controls of the color
correction filter, Final Cut Pro automatically interpolates the change from one keyframe’s
settings to another to make the smoothest transition possible.
For more precise control, you can keyframe individual color correction parameters
directly in the Filters tab of the Viewer. For more information about keyframing filters,
see
“Animating Motion Effects Using Keyframes.”
• Enable/Disable checkbox: Select or deselect this checkbox to turn on or turn off the
entire filter. This can be useful if you want to compare your clip before and after the
color correction filter has been applied. When working in the visual controls, you can
turn the filter on and off by pressing Control-1.
Copy Filter Controls in the Color Corrector Filter
The Copy Filter controls give you an easy way to copy color correction filters and filter
settings into other clips in your sequence.
Drag Filter
Copy To 2nd Clip Forward
Copy To 1st Clip Forward
Copy From 1st Clip Back
Copy From 2nd Clip Back
• Copy From 2nd Clip Back: Copies the settings from the color correction filter of the same
type that’s applied two clips behind the currently selected clip, and pastes those settings
into the current color correction filter. The new values replace any values or keyframes
that were already applied in the current filter.
If the filter being copied from is keyframed, the values from the last keyframe are applied
to the current clip. If the second clip behind the currently selected one has no color
correction filter, this control is dimmed.
