When you need to use Resolve, do you mean you round trip from FCP to Resolve? How do you do that? The last one is a bit dated, but these presets still work. Here are a few articles of mine that might be helpful:įcp.co/final-cut-pro/articles/2234-advan.-with-color-finale-2įcp.co/final-cut-pro/tutorials/2261-colo.-for-final-cut-pro-xĭ/1/si.or-workflow-in-fcpx/įcp.co/final-cut-pro/tutorials/2316-five.s-in-final-cut-pro-xĭ/0/fc.color-board-presets/ For most basic videos, I can get similar results within FCP and the roundtrip isn't worth the effort. I also wouldn't recommend Resolve for this type of casual grading, because it's grading tools are complex. If you don't really have this need, then the color tools within FCP is more than acceptable.įurthermore, you can create plenty of "looks" and save them as color presets, which effectively does much of the same as most of the "look" LUTs that are out there. However, Color Finale is intended to turn FCP into a serious color grading platform. I like Color Finale and have written several reviews, as well as aided in writing their user guide. There are a ton of color correction options, but if you are a hobbyist, I really see no reason to buy a color grading plug-in. I think I will start be trying to get better with FCPX. Probably I do not want an extra step running it through Intel Exporting 8K ProRes from FCPX on metal is a breeze. Yes, starting FCPX thru the terminal window and running it in Intel is painful. If they can't answer even a simple question, they obviously can't support a customer in other ways. They infer on their site that it may be compatible, but I wanted to verify it. CF, I have contacted their support team 3 times now to ask if CF is M1 Native, but they haven't replied even once.

So while it worked well on my Intel Mac Pro, I won't be using it on my new Mac Studio Ultra until it's 'fixed'. Not ideal at all! They state that a change is required in FCPX programming before they can convert it to M1 Native compliant. Currently CG can only be used with FCPX in Rosetta mode.

BUT, one flaw right now IF you are on an M1 computer. I have used Cinema Grade for quite some time and I find it quite intuitive and worth the price.
