My first upload.
I'm learning Apple Color and color grading in general. This is the first graded cut what I kind of like.

Shot with Canon XH-A1, graded with Apple Color w/o broadcast monitor for reference, just ACD.

Hey there, it would be great to see some before and afters. I've got Color and always keep meaning to jump in and start learning.
Cheers,
Tom

Yep, I realized it only after upload :)
Next time.

Send a sequence with few clips to Color and start messing around. The app itself is pretty simple to use.
Good luck!

Will give it a go when I get a spare moment. It would be interesting to put the Sam Lewis video into Color and do it that way instead of using the brute force of FCP's Color Corrector.

Hey!
It surely would.
But before commiting yourself to grading of whole video's final cut, check out how "send to color" and "Send to FCP" work. It has some nasty quirks.

btw, I uploaded ungraded thumbnails from both videos. See "Photos" section for each video.

That's cool to see those before and after photos. It makes a real difference, and shows what a subtle art it is.

Cheers for the tips about the nasty quirks. I've heard talk about there being some fairly substantial bugs.

Some info can be found at CreativeCOW forums, library. Also there's at least 2 training DVD's (one from the same CreativeCOW), and few books. I'm going to order one or two soon, will let you know the results :)
