2 Color Correction Workflows

Taking maximum advantage of Color requires careful

workflow management. This chapter outlines where Color fits

into your post-production workflow.

Color has been designed to work hand in hand with editing applications like

Final Cut Pro via XML and QuickTime media support, or with other editorial

environments via EDL and image sequence support. While video and film input and

editing are taken care of elsewhere, Color gives you a dedicated environment with

which to focus on color correction and related effects.

This chapter gives you a quick overview of how to guide your project through a

workflow that includes using Color for color correction. Information is provided about

both standard and high definition broadcast video workflows, as well as 2K digital

intermediate workflows.

This chapter covers the following:

Â An Overview of the Color Workflow (p. 35)

Â Limitations in Color (p. 37)

Â Video Finishing Workflows Using Final Cut Pro (p. 39)

Â Importing Projects from Other Video Editing Applications (p. 47)

Â Using Color in a Digital Intermediate Workflow (p. 49)

Â Using EDLs, Timecode, and Frame Numbers to Conform Projects (p. 56)

An Overview of the Color Workflow

The Color controls are divided into eight tabbed rooms, each of which corresponds to a

different stage in a typical color-correction workflow. Each room that you select remaps

the buttons, dials, and trackballs of your control surface (if you have one) to correspond

to the controls in that room.
