A Round Trip with Color
Tuesday, July 31, 2007 Filed in: Weekly Tip
Like many of the
other applications within Final Cut Pro Studio,
round tripping is possible with Color.
Note: You don’t have to worry about keeping track of the XML file as it’s passed seamlessly between Color and Final Cut Pro.

Final Cut Studio On the Spot from Focal Press.
-
Select your
sequence (you can only send sequences to Color)
and choose File > Send To > Color.
- A dialog box will open describing your selection, as well as letting you name the Color project. The name defaults to the name of the selected sequence.
- After correcting and grading your footage you will need to render the clips in Color by choosing Render Queue > Add All and then choose Render Queue > Start Render.
- Then from
inside Color go to the File Menu > Send To
> Final Cut Pro. This will generate an XML
file that FInal Cut Pro will use to reconnect to
the rendered clips from Color.
Note: You don’t have to worry about keeping track of the XML file as it’s passed seamlessly between Color and Final Cut Pro.
