Step 3: Send your sequence to Color
If Color is installed on the same computer as Final Cut Pro, you can select the sequence
and choose File > Send To > Color. The project data is automatically transferred to
Color using XML and is converted to a Color project.
If Color is on a remote computer, you can select your sequence and choose File >
Export > XML. Copy the XML file and all of the necessary media files to a hard disk and
bring it to the Color system, then import the XML file into Color.
Step 4: Color correct in Color
Use the tools in Color to color correct each clip in your sequence.
Step 5: Send your Color project back to Final Cut Pro
After you finish working in Color, you’ll render every clip in your Color project to create
a new set of color-corrected media files. When you send the Color project back to
Final Cut Pro, the resulting sequence refers to the new color-corrected media files.
Note: You can also use an EDL to transfer clip information between Final Cut Pro
and Color; however, your functionality will be much more limited. This workflow is
recommended only for projects being reconformed and finished at 2K resolution in Color.
For detailed instructions on all of the above steps, see the Color User Manual.
