The Final Cut Pro Color Correction Filters

There are four filters you can use to adjust the blacks, whites, and color balance of
your clips.

 Color Corrector: The Color Corrector filter is a basic filter for performing simple color

correction. While not as fully featured as the Color Corrector 3-way filter, it’s more
likely to be supported by real-time hardware.

 Color Corrector 3-way: The Color Corrector 3-way filter gives you more precise color

control with separate adjustments to the color balance of the blacks, mids, and
whites of your image.

 Desaturate Highlights and Desaturate Lows: Sometimes, the application of one of the

color correction filters can result in unwanted color in the highlights and blacks of
your image. These two filters (which are actually the same filter with two different
default settings), let you eliminate these unwanted colors.

 Broadcast Safe: The Broadcast Safe filter gives you a fast method for dealing with

clips that have luma and chroma levels that exceed the broadcast limits for video.
This single filter allows you to address illegal values in the luminance and
chrominance of your clips at the same time.
