Holy cow, thank you for the shoutout, Serge! 👊 Your ability to explain simply and clearly is something that still blows me away!

This is rapidly becoming my go-to FCPX channel!

🔥 - indeed. Putting the LUT on too early defeats the perpose of having log footage in the first place. You basically need to treat the FCPX Colour workflow like a DVR Node tree

He calls it ‘signal chain hierarchy’. Glad I found out.

Very helpful. I am going to start using LOG and LUT with FCP after watching your video the other day.

Hey Serge! Thanks for making it so simple.

Can you teach us how to do the correct way with Final Cut Pro auto enhance/correct + LUT?

[PhotoBooth]

great video, what about if your using an adjust layer with the colour correction on this which is above the video clips on the timeline. Would that still apply as above the custom lut or does it need to be above in the effects window? I have been applying the LUT as you said in the info window on import and then applying the colour correction to the adjust layer as most of the clips are shot the same so this just speeds things up.

Hello Serge, may I ask you a diff question? I find it difficult to use voice over. I can’t set the input gain, its grey. My mic, rode wireless ME is recognized, but no voice is recorded. I have fcp 10.8.1. I can use usbc and trrs cables. Pls advise, Frans 😀🙏

does premiere have the same issue? is this a rule for all programs if u know?

[timgardner-PapaG]

Oh no! I use the info window to add camera luts to all my shots BEFORE they are even in a timeline because I like to go through the shots and add favorite clips to put in the timeline later. I think you even showed this as a workflow suggestion once. Now what? I have to view the shots in log? Or add the luts and then remove them when I put them in the timeline? Any suggestions for my workflow?
