Lighting problems…
Hi, I’m a young editor and fairly new to FCP. I’ve been given some media to edit. It’s a fight scene but a lot of the clips have different lighting. It’s very difficult for me to cut in movement when the second clip has different lighting. It looks very stupid. Is there a way of fixing this on FCP?
Thanks 🙂 -

Start with the color correcting tools in FCP.
Have you tried the 3-way color correct filter?Chris Tompkins

Hi Barbara,
Edit for the action. Fight scenes and dance scenes are difficult to edit together. The action must look like it flows from shot to shot. If they messed up the lighting, well, that’s their problem and you shouldn’t let your editing suffer for it. When you’ve finished the action edit, then you can use FCP’s color filters or put into a color correction program (like color) to see if you can help them fix the lighting issues.
