Thanks for that! It looks like there was an error while filming and the saturation was turned ‘down’. It’s only for a quarter of the footage, so 3/4s of it is fine!

However there’s been a slight change.

I’m now editing the project in Final Cut 7. So it’s the same question lol. How do I adjust the saturation so that when I transcode the b&w files to prores, they are ‘colour’?

And can I do this in Final Cut? Someone else suggested that I use Redcinex. But I haven’t got a clue how to use it! I opened the files in redcinex, turned the saturation up to 1, but how do I transcode the ‘edited’ files out to prores lt? And can I ‘batch export’ them?

However, I’d rather use FCP to transcode, if possible, because 3/4s of the footage is being transcoded this way, and I presume it will make it easier when I come to the end of the edit and start the actual colour grade in Color?

Thanks!
