Boom! You’re 2 for 2, man! Thanks!
It’d be nice if it gave you the same pop up options as a drag and drop into the panel.

NEVER MIND! They are going to just let it play through. But if anyone has an awesome solution for the above that they want to share, go ahead.

Another question: This will be used for some sort of presentation where all 159 county commissioners’ names will be called out and I believe each one will walk up (I’m imagining it’ll be like a graduation maybe?) So this video will have to synch up with the pace of that, which means it’ll have to start and stop. Someone could just man the spacebar and start and stop it between individual animations, but if they let it go too long they could end up pausing in the middle of the next animation and make for a messy presentation. Is there a way to have it play one and stop at defined points? Then a single button press to play the next one, etc? Sort of like slides…powerpoint style. Using chapter markers perhaps? I don’t think Quicktime player has the ability to stop at chapter markers, does it?

This should work great. Thanks Andy!

I absolutely understand all that, except that FCPX has an RGB color adjuster. I was originally addressing the OP who doesn’t seem to have an in depth understanding of color yet. I know that under the hood color correction is about manipulating red, green, and blue channels. I was referring to the way the FCPX color adjuster works. I should say that when I say adjuster, I understand that to mean the interface. Regardless of what happens under the hood, you can still move a puck to the yellow area of the interface (or cyan, magenta, orange, whatever) So in my original post I was referring to how the FCPX adjuster works, not to the under the hood stuff. By the same token, telling someone to reduce the red and green to remove yellow from their footage, while technically correct, isn’t very helpful advice when the FCPX color board doesn’t work that way.

[Michael Sanders] “Yellow is the addition of R and G – to make something less yellow add blue!”
Yep. And because of the way the FCPX color adjustment works (not an RGB adjuster) you can also reduce yellow.

[Jeff Krieger] “if too yellow, pull global down in green area
(whenever I try to remove yellow…either by adding blue or reducing green, it messes up the other colors”Reducing green doesn’t remove yellow. Reducing yellow removes yellow. I’m assuming you’re using the FCPX color board. Reducing the green might explain the red cast in the top 2 frames (and slightly in the bottom one). I’m especially looking what I’m assuming should be white molding around the window.
I understand the challenge here, though. You’re working with daylight (window), tungsten (lamp), and whatever color your video lighting is, which hopefully closely matches one of the other 2 light sources.

Under €100 (I’m assuming you meant under and not over) won’t buy you the best 50mm prime. In fact it’ll buy you the worst. But luckily the worst one is still pretty good. This one is the only one I know of for that price. Obviously it’s not as good as more expensive 50mm primes, but it’s very sharp and should meet your needs. Biggest issue I have with it in video use is the focus ring. They have a tendency to not be very smooth if you’re doing rack focus shots. Some are better than others in that regard. (I’ve used 4 or 5 different copies of this lens) Also, this lens will work with any camera upgrade including full frame cameras.

The express version is free for the next few days. I don’t know when I’ll play with it, but I grabbed it.

I love my old manual focus Nikkors. You would need a lens mount adapter to use Nikon lenses on a Canon. I can’t answer what Nikon body would be most relevant to you because I don’t know what you plan to shoot, how you want to shoot it, or what your budget is. As far as what will give you the best quality, that’s probably the newer bodies. D800 is great (what I use) D610 (also full frame), D5300 is supposed to produce great footage and will shoot 1080p @60fps and for well under a grand.
