Final Cut Pro X: Balance a clip’s colors
Clips in Final Cut Pro have a Balance setting that turns automatic color balance correction on and off, whether the clip is in the Browser or the Timeline. The frame used as the reference frame is either a frame chosen during color balance analysis, the frame the playhead is on in the Timeline, or the middle frame. For more information, see Color balance overview.
