So I have been trying to learn order of operation coming from normal FCPX color tools. I am still confused adding log wheels into my work flow. This is the first video I have seen on color finale that shows proper placement of log wheels, lut, and color wheels. Should I be using the log wheels to balance the color when working with log footage, as opposed to balancing with the color wheels? not sure which way is correct, if any other users can answer that I would be most grateful
Hi - yes, you could use Log Wheels to balance the log clip first, then apply your transformation into video color space, and then afterwards use something like Color Wheels to grade in video color space.
Right in the beginning of the tutorial: Life is Shadows, Gamma is Mid-tones and Gain is for Highlights. Can you just use the more common names (shadows, mid-tones, highlights) instead? That would be less confusing to me especially when trying to first learn a new tool.
Decent video but not fully explained well. When you were adjusting the shadows, mid tones, and highlights using RGB Parade what level were you setting the mid tones? I understand that the shadows shouldn’t drop below 0 and the highlights shouldn’t go above 100 but you didn’t explain where you were setting the mid tones for that clip. And you moved the line level so quickly without explaining what you were doing. I think someone who is unfamiliar with color grading would find this information very helpful if explained thoroughly. Especially if they are considering purchasing this product
@@AtortAerials Once you add color finale to your clip, go to the Video Inspector box on the upper right side in Final Cut. Look for Color Finale then scroll down to click on“Edit Layers”. A mini window will open up and you will see in the upper left corner the tools to use. Hope this helps.
Would love to see a Log Wheels specific tutorial.

I don't know, I've tried, but I'll follow still my old workflow. To me, not an real advantage. Don't get me wrong, I still love the tool daily.
I am trying the trial and can't even figure out how to get these color wheels pulled up...help!
