Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1358)

“Copy To” Rule
If the current clip has multiple filters and you’re copying to a clip with multiple filters,
Final Cut Pro copies the current filter’s settings to a filter with the same index number in
the next clip as that of the current filter. For example, if the current clip has three filters,
and the next clip has three filters, using the Copy To 1st Clip Forward button in the Color
Corrector-2 tab copies that filter’s settings into the second color correction filter in the
next clip.
Copy To 1st Clip Forward button
Current clip
Next clip
If the clip you’re copying to doesn’t have any color correction filters, the Copy To buttons
create a new filter with these settings. If there are no clips following the current one,
these buttons are dimmed.
Menu Commands for the Copy Filter Controls
Some Copy Filter controls have equivalents in the Copy Filters submenu of the Modify
menu:
• From 2nd Clip Back
• From 1st Clip Back
• To 1st Clip Forward
• To 2nd Clip Forward
Color Balance Controls in the Color Corrector Filter
Color balance controls are color wheels that allow you to change the mix of red, green,
and blue that falls within the area of a specific range of luma in your clip. The color balance
controls act like virtual trackballs; you can drag anywhere within a color wheel to move
the color balance indicator. The Color Corrector filter has one color balance control that
affects the whites of a clip, as well as a Hue control.
