I just learnt more in the past 60 minutes than I have in weeks of watching other videos on KZbin!

[@kiatfeiliew2789]

To be honest, this could be the best free tutorial for the whole color correction & grading for FCPX out of so many videos I have watched. Thank you for the effort!

[@KamalChhetri-jb2vs]

Although I am not a native English speaker, your smooth voice and slow speaking made me feel very comfortable here. It became very easy to understand about color range balance etc. in Final Cut Pro. I bow to you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

[@TonyParkinPhotography]

Without a doubt the best colour correction video on the internet bar none!! well done

[@JetFuelOnly]

So much valuable information in one place!

[@furkanullah994]

As a new KZbinr watching your videos everyday atleast for 3 hours to improve my editing . I have tried many software for editing including From Adobe .But for me i found FCPX is best of all and easy to use . Why i watch your videos ? Because on the internet i didn't find any better tutorials in FCPX than yours one . Thanks for great tutorials . Could you please make a tutorial on how to edit for Tiktok and Instagram? Thanks and Regards Furkan Bangladesh

[@jrpriest]

There are so many tutorials on KZbin, you guys are always SOLID from start to finish. I always walk away much wisher and armed with new tools to create a great production. Thank you so much.

[@artvisionproduction4773]

this is the best tutorial I have watched on color correction so far. Thank you very much

[@roamingyak]

Thanks! Sitting here with 28TB of wildlife footage I filmed in Africa to edit is a bit daunting - but I'm now a bit more confident that I can do basic CC now ;-)

[@roamingyak]

If a person is sunburnt/quiet red - is the skin tone line still an accurate gauge?

[@markspencer1203]

@@roamingyak Yes

[@markspencer1203]

Thank you for the contribution!

[@philcobb2192]

This was amazing. I didn't realize how much I could learn in an hour. I feel much more confident in my color grading abilities. This is by far one of my weaker skills as an editor!

[@kearlthekreator]

probably the best color correcting video on youtube thanks! appreciate the effort!!

[@JandeBloois1952]

This was a great, no, a GREAT tutorial! After 10 years of rather intensive use of FCPX I hardly knew anything about the various curves, you explained it so well! Thanks!

[@gert-janvanbuseck]

Really a great (less then an) 1-hour tutorial which breaks down Color Correction and Grading in a few simple steps. Any beginner in FCP can and will benefit from it enormously. As all users of FCP 😀 Thanks for putting this one together and sharing it, Mark! 🙏

[@ThisisDigitalden]

All this knowledge for free ! what a gift and a wealth of information, thank you Mark for sharing this with us.

[@TrueVidzionPodcast]

WOW! I have been trying to understand color correction for over a year. I have been watching so many different videos by different instructors and it only made me more confused. I started watching you'll channel last night and I have learned more in 2 hours than a whole year of KZbin videos. Thank You

[@ShaneBaker]

Thanks Mark. This was really useful.

[@JenniferKlinger]

Perfect tutorial. I think you should this for a living 😛. Seriously amazing.

[@wilchrislev4230]

I learned a lot of things with this video. Thanks Mark

[@JimConnorShorts]

Thank you, you addressed many areas of confusion and misunderstanding re color grading. Will buy the course on color grading

[@rippleguys]

Thanks Jim - glad you found it helpful

[@Skywalker1010]

Incredibly helpful, THANK YOU

[@cogmovies]

Colors can sometimes be brilliant - but your tutorials are always brilliant Mark! Well done on another outstanding mini-course. Thank you! ⭐👍

[@SYPCWAK]

Thanks again Mark for another wonderful and helpful video.

[@howardcountylibrary]

Great work as always Mark. Bookmarked!

[@ericrobinson8078]

Bloody Hell...first Steven now Mark! After all these years. I cant wait to see what Mark has got to say after just finishing an excellent tutorial from Steve.

[@ericrobinson8078]

It's incredible Ive used FCP off and on since the early pre FCP X days and while Ive tinkered with colour correction using the now defunk Apple application Color Ive never quite understood it or got it till now. Mark's expiation has fully illuminated that internal colour correction bulb for me. That exemplifies the Ripple Training approach for me. No nonsense hard fact and good information presented in an easy way to follow.

[@SNIPER-zc8mz]

Thank you , very important information that I was missing I learned a lot from this video 👍🏻

[@ericrobinson8078]

Great watch.Great information just what is needed to start a project. You just cant beat these guys.

[@utah62]

Thanks for sharing. Very useful, that's why I bought your Final Cut Pro 10.7 Core Training recently .

[@kisieloski]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@simomonster]

wow😳for free !!!! Thank you Mark

[@simoharjane7823]

Wow ! never thought about using draw mask, target white and balance colors . Thank you .

[@RonArmes]

Another excellent tutorial, thank you very much.

[@robertodelaossa]

Excellent class!

[@Hazardteam]

Seriously. For some reason I like this guy so much, I can't tell why. He has logic inside what and _how_ show me and say. He has a style. I like it! It's very good and rare in this increasingly filthy, shit-inflated and doomed world that we've managed to put together so nicely on this miserable planet. I guess it shows that I don't often throw around the fact that I "like" someone or that I "like what they do". This is because I am an "optimistic realist". You know there is a saying in Central Europe that _"We are not pessimists, we are realistic optimists"_ A version of this fuels my "engine" and kills my brain cells, drive my actions, this is the brain I got. Apropo, speaking of which, a joke: What does the pessimist say?- _"Oh well, it can't get more worse than this is..." But what does the optimist say: _"Oh boy.. believe me it can! :)"_ But in a word: I like it

[@ashcross]

One of the best FCPX tutorials I've ever seen. Thank you!

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Great video guys. Although I am familiar with most of the stuff , there were some new approaches, always handy to see other people deal with things. Thanks for sharing, great to be on your channel.

[@skyking95]

Awesome. This was a nice refresher to your original Color Correction Class!!! I go back to that every once and a while. This again, was well worth the watch!

[@ImaginetMedia]

This is excellent information. I already own the Ripple color correction tut, but this was a fast refresher.

[@letsm0ti0n]

Unbelievable, super cool, outrageous and amazing! Phenomenal, fantastic, so incredible, woo-hoo! Thanks, Mark!

[@user-hn2kk8gb2l]

I second all the kudos: Great; Amazin; Fantastic. I'll refer to this video repeatedly until I master everything in it. Thank you so much for giving it to me.

[@keilabeyer2711]

Thanks for the tutorial, can't wait to try your suggestions!

[@FraserHealVideo]

You're a legend Mark!

[@ThisisDigitalden]

BRILLIANT in the details, thanks Mark, another fabulous lesson and I've learnt a lot !

[@CapturedVideo75]

[@SvenneFriis]

Mark - you are so good and inspiring in your teaching ❤

[@MarcelHuguenin]

Mark, this was a fantastic video! You are a real Master in explaining this stuff. I learn something new every time. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@brianparks1899]

So good!! Thank you Mark! From cradle to...now I've learned just about everything I know about FCPX from you guys.

[@blaccboogie2508]

Thanks for the information. Really furthered my knowledge

[@DanTremblayMusic]

So clear and concise, and yet just the right amount of details. Fantastic tutorial! 🙏🏻

[@kmt488]

This is so detailed! I learned a lot from this video. Thanks for giving it all free! Can’t believe this.

[@Stellifant]

Brilliant video. Thanks Mark

[@Tonellacam]

Wow this is such an informative power hour , I learned more in this video then all the rest combined !!

[@james127music]

Thank you so much Mark. Really helpful and easy to understand.

[@SusannahPerri]

OMG, I just found your channel and subscribed because this is the first color correction video that truly helped me understand some of the features of color correction in FCP that I never could quite grasp before, (even though I've been editing for years)! Thank you!!

[@karlszoldatits9089]

excellent tutorial explaining a quite complex stuff so easily, thanks a lot

[@AndrewOrtwein]

Great stuff, Mark! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this subject and for letting us watch your workflow. I'm definitely taking away some ideas on how I can improve mine now.

[@jegbert2]

Outstanding! Thank you!

[@snells-window]

Amazing tutorial! Took me a few hours to watch it as I worked alongside my own examples in FCPX, but this was a game changer. Thank you so much

[@dirkbeerbohm4160]

Amazing video - so helpful

[@VERACE]

I rarely leave comments under videos but yours, really, is really clear and well explained. You master the subject and your presentation is perfect. You taught me something about colors of new iphone. I would have liked watching your video before editing my last one. This would have allowed me to understand why the iphone footage was really overexposed. Good continuation...

[@spiritguy3181]

Wonderful work! Truly!

[@cavalcavaletti5027]

excellent ce tuto j'adore merci beaucoup !

[@wapanakosis]

Amazing video!

As alway’s, Mark, fantastically informative. Thanks!

[@BeenaDeming]

Thank you so much for sharing. It's great tutorial

[@cristianmk]

Thank you Mark! I hope Apple updates FCPX soon again, enhancing a little bit more these tools, especially those HSL sliders which are almost impossible to grab haha. Cheers from Argentina! Come back some day!

[@spalaum]

Thanks Mark, very useful!

[@ResellerMadness]

My brain is exploding with possibilities now. I clicked on this hoping to learn a trick, a morsel of knowledge. In stead I got a buffet, a banquet of color I never knew I needed so badly. Thank you! Now to go try it out...😁

[@djoso559]

Ima be honest I hate watching long videos even a 15min video I’m like nope next.holly cow em I glad I watched it so much information some aéreas I did have to fast forward maybe because I was already past learning that but great video.

[@mdturnerinoz]

Thanks! My only complaint is that your mouse pointer was often hard to follow. So highlighting it would help that!

[@rippleguys]

Thank you Martin!

[@SashaLightTutorials]

Hi. Is there a need to use the color finale plugin in 2022? Are there functions that cannot be repeated simply in the final cut?

[@danilopancaldi8448]

Literally
