Match hue eyedropper behaving very strangely
So I’m editing together a two camera interview, and I’m trying to do color matching. I’ve converted both clips to ProRes and dropped them in a ProRes sequence, however when I go to sample a color using the match hue eyedropper, it gives a very weird, almost random result. Wherever I click, it gives me some muted shade of green, blue, or brown, even if I’m sampling from the clip itself. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I don’t think so, because it’s WAY off. Like if I click on a well-lit area of skin, it’ll give me like dark blue or something.

Adam,
Did you ever find a solution to this issue?
I’m experiencing the same thing at the minute,
Thanks,
Nick. -
Shoot, sorry, it was a while ago so I don’t really remember. I think it’s possible I just restarted my computer and it started working but, if that doesn’t help, you can maybe try trashing your FCP preferences, a la here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ts1846

I am in Color Corrector 3-way in FCP7 and my eyedropper is also behaving this same strange way. I click on gold, I get green. I click on white, I get brown, sometimes purple.
I seem to be totally unable to use match hue and I pretty much stumped.
Did anyone find a solution for this? I’m a little hesitant to delete preferences if that doesn’t fix the problem.
At first my eyedropper wouldn’t pick up color at all. Then when I rebooted I got the strange random colors.
Frustrating!
