A Round Trip with Color

Like many of the other applications within Final Cut Pro Studio, round tripping is possible with Color.
  1. Select your sequence (you can only send sequences to Color) and choose File > Send To > Color.

  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
