What Is Color Correction?
In any postproduction workflow, color correction is generally one of the last steps in
finishing an edited program. Final Cut Pro color correction tools give you precise
control over the look of every clip in your project by letting you adjust the color
balance, black levels, mids, and white levels of individual clips.
