Intro to color correction effects in Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro includes powerful manual color correction tools that you can use to accomplish a wide variety of color correction and enhancement effects. You use the tools by applying a color correction effect and then adjusting the effect’s controls in the Color inspector.
You can make manual color adjustments to the color tint, saturation, and exposure for the whole clip image using any of the following color correction effects.
Color Board
The unique Color Board provides controls for saturation, exposure, and color adjustments.
See Use the Color Board in Final Cut Pro.

Color wheels
You can use four color wheels (Master, Shadows, Midtones, and Highlights) to adjust color in your video clips. You can also adjust the clip’s brightness and saturation levels using sliders on the sides of the color wheels.
See Use color wheels in Final Cut Pro.

Color curves

See Use color curves in Final Cut Pro.

See Use hue and saturation curves in Final Cut Pro.
