Control surface for 3-way color corrector

[Michael Gissing]

Before Color, many people use Wacom tablets & pens. I am pretty sure Tangent controllers only work with Color and i don’t know of any controller that works with FCP plugins. I use the Tangent Wave with Color and it is really nice to work with.

If you have FCS3 then using Color with the Wave would be your best bet. The Tangent Wave also works with da Vinci Resolve which is where I am going next as Color is EOL. Frankly using 3 way in FCP is slow and not functional like Color so I can say it is worth your while to take the time and effort to learn Color.

Thanks but it doesn’t work directly with final cut.

The iPad app is interesting but designed for Color. Perhaps a gesture pad would work if plugged into the Mac to drive FCP, but I suspect a Wacom tablet would be superior.

You could always send Apple a feature request . . . yeah alright, I am just jokin’!
