Request for color management and color grading functionality in Inspector #360

Open iFXProductions opened 1 month ago

iFXProductions commented 1 month ago

As a dedicated Final Cut Pro user, I'm writing to share a suggestion that I believe would greatly improve the user experience for many editors: integrating color management and color grading directly into the Inspector.

Rationale:

Workflow efficiency:

Having color management and grading features in the Inspector would streamline the workflow by allowing editors to quickly evaluate and adjust color profiles and evaluate clips before they are added to the timeline. This would save time and reduce the need for adjustments later in the editing process.

Consistency in color grading:

Ensuring that all clips adhere to a consistent color profile and color grading from the start would ensure uniformity in their projects right from the browsing stage, leading to a more consistent final product. The same clip can be used in a different project within the same library and the same color will be applied. Changing the profile and/or color grading from the inspector would also change wherever this clip is used.

Conclusion:

Integrating color management and grading features directly into the Inspector would be a valuable addition to Final Cut Pro. This would improve efficiency, accuracy and overall user experience for editors, ensuring color consistency is maintained from the start of the editing process.

Thank you for your time and dedication

Sincerely,
