Chapter: Editing
Topic: Motion Templates
We typically will slate our Final Cut Pro projects when they are not the final deliverable. A great workflow is to create the template in Motion, save it as a template, and then it becomes available in Final Cut Pro.

Chapter: Color Correction
Topic: Software and Tools
Why do different color wheels in different pieces of software and applications act differently? How does that answer effect our approach to color grading? Those two thoughts came to the top of my mind when reading Oliver Peter’s excellent post, Grading with Color Wheels. Why don’t you head over there and read that post? It’s very informative and helps build the foundation for this post. I’ll wait…
Understanding how the color wheels in your NLE process the image has a huge impact on how you approach your color correction. In this post we’ll build out the concepts introduced in Oliver’s article to give us a working methodology.
