Final Cut v. AE7 colour correction
Just a quickie. Does anyone rate AE7+ over FCP Studio for general colour correction? I have the choice of using either.
Story, not pixels.

I use FCP for all our color correction, both the on-board CC tools and Magic Bullet Colorista.

Isn’t it true that FCP and AE work in different color space? I would think that if the delivery is for broadcast, you would want to keep the final correction in FCP which is what I do, but, I have Test Gear in AE (scopes) to at least get everything close, although I rarely do more than subjective color changes in AE.

AE does everything in RGB colorspace. FCP will work in either RGB or YUV colorspace, but doesn’t always mix them very well. Most video codecs are YUV.

Just as a note, AE CS3 appears to fix this. You will be able to select which ever color space you want to work at. I CAN’T WAIT!!!!

I use AE for a lot of CC because of the Synthetic Ap Color Finesse plug-in that comes with AE 7 (which is also available for purchase as a FCP plug-in).

This should be the solution. The question is not who do it better. I think is more important to avoid changing in color spaces. Start in a color space, go to a different one to CC and them back to the first one to deliver should be avoided. Although I know that the tools can be more precises in AE, I preffer do everithing in FC. If is possible to do all the process in one step (only one rendering), the best for the picture.
