Add transitions between color corrections in Final Cut Pro for Mac
The most powerful and accurate way to change a color correction over time is to use keyframes to animate the changes. However, there may be times when you want to use a transition instead. For example, if you want a scene to gradually highlight the face of an actor, you could use a transition to dissolve between the original clip and a second instance of the clip that has a shape mask around the face and a color correction that darkens the image outside of the mask.
- In Final Cut Pro, temporarily switch to the Blade tool by holding down the B key. 
- In the timeline, click a video clip at the point where you want to change between color corrections. - The clip splits into two clips. 
- Apply a different color correction to each clip. - You can also leave one clip uncorrected and apply a color correction to the other. The color correction could be an exaggerated tint, an exposure change, or any other noticeable adjustment. 
- Select the edit point between the two clips, then press Command-T to insert a cross dissolve. 
When you play the clip, one color correction dissolves into the other as the edit point is passed.
