Afraid not. If there was a function that worked as well as you need a lot of us would be out of a job!
I’m pretty sure FCPx might have a function that does that but if you want to go down the colorist route it is all done by eye with the assistance of video scopes. Vectorscopes will help you match the colors and waveforms and parades will help with the luminance side of things.

If you want to grab a beer sometime I can give you a run down of all the options I’ve found. We could even invite horrobin if he’s not going to cause trouble 🙂

Pretty sure it’s limited to stereo but I could be wrong

I wish it was that simple but you cant just type in an RGB value but if you right click on the viewer there is a toggle to display your RGB values. You can then point the cursor at the bit you want to change and then use the grading controls to move the image that direction.
Should get you the same end result-ish but slightly different method.

I feel guilty for being a bit short earlier on so I’d like to offer you some help keying. If you are up for it I’d happily point out a few tips and tricks I use. Mail me at dan ( at) mixinglight.com and I will do my best.
One last point from a grumpy colorist is that it is fact that people like Dave Hussey and Stefan Sonnenfeld use the same software and same keyer as the rest of us they are just dam talented at what they do. I seen this first hand when I moved to London and seen the amazing grades coming out of people like Jean-Clement Soret and my boss Mark Horrobin.
Happy Grading!

I’m just going to go ahead and say everything in your post is wrong. Seriously 100% wrong in every way.
They keyer is great. If it takes you 20mins to pull a key then you just need to practice more.
No job I have ever graded has been graded in Red Cine X first. If the clients prefer the Red Cine X grade from the offline better than yours then your not doing your job as colorist very well.

Sorry what I meant was now that you have your DPX files why not do a text transcode and edit with 5 or 10 files. That way you can make sure all the right settings have been used before you do the whole edit and end up with something that may not work

I’d recomend doing a test with 10 clips. Do a rough simple edit and make sure that it works.
Then you will know 100% that all will be ok.
I always think its strange when people dive head first into a job and dont just do a quick workflow test before the edit.
