To be blunt, hire a professional colorist. What kind of “tips” were you expecting on a forum? Color is an art. Can’t be explained in a forum.

Easy for a “colorist” to do in Color! Not so easy if someone has never used Color, or has no experience or training as a colorist!
Honestly, if you’re really looking to color grade a feature for broadcast or theatrical output, you would be best off taking it to a post house or lab that is properly equipped & staffed for this. There’s a lot of technical & aesthetic know-how, which is impossible to impart in a couple of forum postings. And you need monitors & scopes that are properly calibrated to match your final output.

I’m not a colorist by training, I’ve just learned how to color grade using the 3 Way CC and then Final Touch / Color and what is being asked in this thread is very easy to do in Color. Matching two cameras is incredibly easy in Color using the Still Store and saved Grades.

Walter, if I recall, you had a colorist come in to train you on Final Touch. Plus your other experience as an editor doing broadcast work. I’d count that for something.

Correct, Bob Sliga taught me and then I put pretty much everything he taught me onto my training DVD. He did not teach me color grading, he taught me the interface and gave me some ideas on what I could do to make my coloring better.
Bob is now working for Apple as part of the Color team.

Suzin,
Please don’t take this as a flame, it’s not meant to be – but this is the sort of post that really gets my wick. Kinda like me going on a motoring forum and saying ‘I want a car. Tell me what to get…’
We need a bit more info. You need to do a bit more homework! A cursory read of the FCP manual would give you options to consider – using the 3-way CC, basic workflows etc. Have you thought about the problem? Have you considered your options? If so, what specific issues are you facing?
We’re all busy professionals here. I’m happy to help, as will many others, but you need to meet halfway.
Jason

Like others have indicated this may not be the best project to start with color. However Apple has made the tools affordable so like anything else, the more you do with it the better you will get.
Color perception is something that can be learned I believe. I came from a photography background and learned to print my own prints. After a year or so of regular printing I found myself tweeking 1.5 cc’s of cyan out and adding 3cc’s of magenta to a negative to get that perfect color. I realized how sensitive I had become to observing color. I think we are able to hone this sensitivity with lots of practice.
All editors should be using proper evaluation grade monitors with stable consistent output and should have a controlled lighting environment to be working in.
It would also be helpful to take a color blindness test before you get too far with it. Color blindness effects about 9% of males and .4% of females. Some simple tests are here:
