thanks guys. we’ve tried both these plug-ins. both of them and the fcp have actions called CURVES or LEVELS but they all are simplified attempts with single or a few sliders as opposed to the ability to design and apply user-specified curves matching the specific needs to adjust data in the histogram, video tonal info and look and feel on the screen. if anyone is familiar with how curves and levels are used in photoshop (on still images).

the way the function works in photoshop (for example) is a histogram is viewed (like in viewscopes which does exist in fcp) and either a blank curve or a histogram with range handle is presented by the plug-in and the user can manipulate directly either the shape of the curve (in a pen tool way – think keyframes) or the in-out-inflexion of the levels precisely to adjust. Once you get the hang of it it is way more intuitive and powerful and simple that the flat single/multiple slider solution which butchers and crushes blacks and highlights with little discretion.

if anyone develops for fcp and has an interest is putting this together contact me for sure. be well. thanks.
