Did Yosemite changed FCPx color correction in inspector?

prior to installing Yosemite I had the color correction functions as part of the clip inspector in the video tab. Now I notice after installing Yosemite that the color correction functions including color, saturation, and exposure are an effect that you must apply before manipulating those effects. Is that possible that I can not put the color correction board back into my default functionality in the video tab of inspector?

thanks tom, i think it was easier the other way, but ok there is no way to customize the inspector with frequently used effects, maybe that would be my next question.

Did iSight change my color depth?

I just installed an iSight camera and shortly after, I realized that my monitor's color depth had downgraded somehow.
For instance, the flat greys on the left and right of a Safari window toolbar come out like greyish teals; and skin tones in photographs and video appear posterized and flat due to the lack of colors.
I've checked my display settings in System Preferences: the colors are still set to "Millions". I even tried unplugging the iSight... still nothing.
any thoughts? Was it a Quicktime or OS update?

Installing iSight did not change my display's color. I do not know anything you listed that might have caused your color shift.
I apply all updates to QuickTime and Mac OS and have never had such a problem. Do you use an update process such as How I Update My Mac OS X?
Have you recently performed your regular Mac OS X maintenance? If not, do so now. That may restore your settings.
Have you (or someone else who has access to your Mac or your Monitor) changed any monitor settings? You do not say what monitor you use. Perhaps it has external adjustments that may have been bumped out of adjustment?
You might also want to check your System Preferences > Displays > Color settings to see if it has been changed by someone.
If none of these things help you, try a search in Mac mini Discussions for "display color" (without the quotation marks) and see some of the suggestions there. The Mac mini users who post there may have better suggestions for you than I do.

FCPX Color Correction affecting transparencies

I have a problem where color corrections applied to a video clip are effecting a transparent graphic above the video, where 100% white is somehow being given a luminosity above 100%.
I created a screencapture video showing the problem to clearify: http://youtu.be/cX37HmPASok
This is what the transparent shadow should look like when it is on a 100% white background: http://imgur.com/a/ksiYY#0
But this is what it looks like when the exposure of the object below it is increased to clip the white highlight: http://imgur.com/a/ksiYY#1
I don't understand why increasing the exposure doesn't max the brightness out at 100% white. How do I keep the luminosity from effecting my transparency?
THANKS!

TOOOO perfect! Thanks Tom. I was able to find two videos that elaborated on your comment to solidify a solution.
The Broadcast Safe Filter is definitely the solution, but for some reason it gets applied BEFORE the Color Correction gets applied (which I see is why your compound clip work-around is necessary).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Edju6ktL8
I also came across this video today though that offers a simpler solution. By creating an empty Title template in Motion, I can apply the Broadcast Safe Filter to it and span it across the entire video above the color corrected footage but under my transparent slides.

I'll have to reconstruct my color management process in the future, but this is a quick solution for me right now.
Thanks!

Did I change my feed correctly?

I just started a new podcast series a few days ago and I already have iTunes reading my podcast feed. I then decided that I would like to use feedburner instead of the normal feed my Wordpress plugin is creating for me.
I created a 301 Redirect and it is setup correctly (redirecting old feed to new feed). Since the file structure or URL of my site didn't change, is this all I need to do?

I see in the documentation that you need to add a tag to your XML:
<itunes:new-feed-url>
However my plugin says this:
The iTunes New Feed URL option works primarily for Apple's iTunes application only, and should only be used if you are unable to implement a HTTP 301 redirect. A 301 redirect will route all podcast clients including iTunes to your new feed address.
Accurate?

Why did Apple change the color labels of folders in 10.9.2?

What's the purpose of a dot when I can't even see them?
THE IDEA is to highlight a folder so you can easily find it.
I'm all for aesthetics but this is a change of practical design. It's annoying.

Also for the bug that iTunes doesn't minimize when I double-click the top edge of the window.
It isn't a bug, it's a feature.
Actually, I kinda like the improvements to the "miniplayer" thing, even though it isn't the same thing as minimizing the app. The only thing I don't like about the miniplayer is the tiny, hard to hit icon used to toggle it on & off, but if I can just remember the Cmd-Option-M shortcut for that I'm OK with that too.
I wouldn't mind filling out a survey before they (Apple) curtained features.
After hanging around ASC for a few years, I have realized that almost everybody has very different ideas about the usefulness of just about every feature Apple has ever implemented. If Apple listened to users, I suspect we would end up with an OS so bloated it wouldn't even be able to crawl, much less run, on most Macs, & the user preferences alone would have so many options nobody could find the ones they wanted without help.
Actually, I think that may already be happening ... but I'm sure everybody has a different opinion about that, too!

Color correction change across all clips?

I know how to make a color correction to my first clip, then I can copy and paste it onto all the other clips. However, what if I want to change the color correction later on? I have to delete all the color corrected clips, and then make a new correction and re-paste. Then if I want to do it all again, same hassle. This can be very bad when working with hundreds of clips on the timeline.
I wonder if I can set up a color correction profile and then send the clip to that profile. Then I can change the profile and each clip will follow that.
Thanks,
MrD

Two observations...
1. You don't have to delete the clips to change the CC. You simply modify settings in the effects panel.
2. Provided that you want to apply the same CC to all the clips in (say) Timeline One - nest Timeline One inside Timeline Two and apply CC to it. In this way you only have to apply one CC instance..

How do I change a color to another in a bitmapData image?

Let's say you have an image of a cartoon human that is wearing a blue jacket with white sleeves, blue shoes, and grey pants. Brown hair and biege skin tone.
(My project actually has 1300 of these images - 325 are blue cloths, 325 are red cloths, 325 are green cloths, and 325 are purple cloths)
I am having a major problem with file size and memory usage due to all the images, so I have been asked to see if there was a way I could programmatically change the clothing color... this way we can use any color we want, and only have 325 base images.
I have been trying to play with color matrix filter and color transform, but I can't seem to get the hang of it
Is there a way I can extract only the "blue" colors from the image and do a hue shift on it to the color that I want it to be without effecting the non-blue colors?
My idea was something along the lines of:
Copy the "blue" color channel, hue shift it, then merge it back into frame....

Oh boy... this seems to be an issue with your manager wanting it done 'NOW' rather than 'CORRECTLY'.
For my original statement to work, the clothing would have to be seperated from the people - as per your suggestion to them - which would make your lives a whole lot easier. The problem with hue shifting the entire image is --> it will hue shift the entier image = all colors, and that may not be the best solution in your situation.
I would suggest replacing the pixel color (eg. getPixel32 and setPixel32 for the size of the image) but it seems that the shoulders and shoes have a darker color tone than the rest of the body.
Secondary solution:
Import one of the image into Flash and do a bitmap trace of the image.
Seperate the clothes and people there.
Add the clothes as a new movie clip and change the color on a few frames 5 or so different colors (so its not too much work)
Show them an example of how 'easy' it is to change the colors CORRECTLY when the images are seperate (even in the same file)
The secondary will give them the 'all in one file' they requested... and also give you solid grounds for convincing them to change the graphics.
Hope this helps. Other wise... its a long not so nice solution which will go over budget because they did not plan for this before they made the graphics.

Color correction filter

I've been trying to learn the color correction filter. I used the manual, and read how to apply filters and the chapter on color correction. So I select my clip in the sequence, park the playhead where I want to monitor, open the scopes, drag the filter from the browser. When I use the sliders or controls, nothing happens! I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

First of all Catrina did you drag the color correction 3 Way filter from the browser window onto the clip (sitting on the timeline) that you want to be affected?
If so you should be able to control your changes in the viewer window and see the results of your colour grading on tha canvas in real time.

How can I change the color of interactive image label box background.

Interactive image labels are a bit overwhelming in appearance. Can I change the label background color or make it partially transparent? I have tried several things and looked this up on Lynda.com training but no info.

don't know how much this might help but you can change some colors using the Inspector as follows:
from the text menu you can control paragraph and character colors, from the text menu you can control the text color.
hope this helps...

Changing page color

I love the color of the page in the Classic Template (Art History)
but the beige page background only appears for section and chapter heading
pages. When I add other pages, they are white.
How can I make ALL pages in my book the same background as the
classic chapter and section head pages?

It is a trick!
The beige page background color in the Classic Template (Art History) template is not a real background color at all. The background color comes from a "locked" colored Text Box within the template arranged through the "Send to Back" command.
Here is how to change or create different background colors for each of the layouts within the template:
Open the Classic Template (Art History) template or any other one.
Select "Show Layouts" under the "View" menu.
Select the right side "Chapter" layout or any other page.
Click in the beige color area where there are no other objects.
Notice the fant remains of an "x" in the corners.
Under the "Arrange" menu select "Unlock." Notice the "X" has changed to small squares.
Select the "Bring to Front" from the "Arrange" menu.
You can now move or expand the box to any locaction you like.
To prove that this box is a text box just double click inside it.
To change the color, open the Inspector and select the Graphic Inspector.
Select Image Fill or others from the Fill pull down menu.
Select a color from the colors palette and drag it to the fill color box within the Graphic Inspector.
Move the colored text box into the opsition on your Layout.
Select the "Bring to Back" from the "Arrange" menu.
Under the "Arrange" menu select "Lock."
Now may be a good time to select "Save as Template..." under the "File" menu.

Color Correction Effect: "Change color to" change more that one color in the same clip(pp Cs4)

Hi all, I have watched and tried some tutorial to achieve this. My question though is how to change more than one color in the same clip. I'm asking because when I tried I had no problem to "color pick" one shade of my (Rock face) and turned it into a natural color picked from a good clip. But I was left with all the other shades to work on and if I repeated the procedure (pick the next destination color to replace) it cancelled my previous change so it seems that I can change only one color... I must be doing something wrong.

Wow! I did play a few other Youtube 3 color correction, but this one is so good and comprehensive. I did also like RGB curves tutorial. I don't know if all this is appropriate for my 1983 VHS clip nearly all green (I probably had the wrong white balance). What I achieved so far is not very good but I think much more watchable than all green! Than You again for this . I do also realise these guys are expert and still they have to use lot trials and errors and various techniques before getting what they want. I do appreciate their generosity to make some of their knowledge available to all of us.

3 way Color correction FCPX - eye dropper - whites/mid/black color picker -

- In every shot with my AF100, after a WHITE BALANCE - I shoot a white/grey/black card http://tinyurl.com/greycards
- In FCP 7, in 3 way color correction, I use the eye dropper to pick each of these, this works very well,
as opposed to guessing at what is white, grey and black in any shot.
Question:
How do I do this in FCP X ?
What technique can I use for this trick which has worked well for my color grading.
Thanks,
Rob

I'd love learn specifically what makes the color bar "better".
Here is my comment which I recently left on a similar thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19082591#19082591
The eye dropper in the 3 way CC was an amazingly efficient way of getting color balance.
Not only is it easy but also was a very intuitive way for less experienced users to grasp how color is distributed.
This new brain-dead approach of color matching in FCPX is inconsistent and doesn't help novice users really get a grasp on the fundamentals of color grading.
If Apple doesn't return the 3 way CC hopefully someone will write an affordable 3rd party plug that brings back this functionality.
Here's a short youtube tutorial illustrating how simple white balance is in FCP7.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d3rlRUXz4M
Here's a tutorial on how it's now done in FCPX. (The kid comments on the ridiculous absence of the eye dropper.)

Decide for yourself which is more intuitive and logical.

CS5.5 crashes when I change work space from editing to color correction

When I change my work space from editing to color correction CS5.5 crashes.
Can get it to change from editing to audio work space without crashing, but when I want to change back from audio to editing it crashes then too.
Any help appreciated.

In my quick search (check me out there), THIS DRIVER appears to be the latest. I would install and test with it. I find it a good idea to do a System Restore Point for before a driver install, and to also keep a few older drivers available, just in case one needs to roll-back.
Good luck,
Hunt
