Wil there be Key Framing in Color Adjustment?

Hi Trig,

If - and I say IF - they ever decide to allow keyframing color adjustments again, it will have to be much better than it was in FCP7 because that really sucked (pardon my French).

The reason for this is that color parameters are not linear. As a result you often will see color stepping when you keyframe color corrections, and rarely a smooth transition from one correction to the other. That's why also in FCP7 we often used blading and cross dissolves to create smooth color correction transitions. I'm sure if you do a search on this site you will find many threads dealing with color keyframing issues in classic FCP.

The only way they could make this work as it should is if they could apply frame blending between keyframes (optical flow) to mask the color stepping. Until they can do this, blades and cross dissolves are a much better solution than keyframing.

Best wishes,

Ronny

Hell I just wish they'd fix the keyframing, peroid.
