Change color temperature “properly”?
Not by executing multiple colorspace conversions, for starters. At the end of the day, changing the inherent image values of source media is the bulk application of day-to-day color correction with software like Resolve. No matter whether you go to the extent of placing your original values within x’y’z’ space or not will make no difference in the end result, as the same background operations need to take place — at its most basic, gain adjustments in red, green, and blue, whether you are dragging a slider on a “color temperature” slider or rolling the gain and gamma balls. From a source-code standpoint, its just another algorithm like ‘auto-balance’ and either finds a home with your grade approach, or not, depending on your intrinsic control-comfort zone, ie “surrendering to the machine”.
Leaving your source media in Y’CbCr in 709 space will not adversely affect the final result, depending on the original quality, Boltzmann electronic noise, and so on. If you have to boost blue, its going to get busy, that’s physics. In any event, you are going to have to render the corrected media back to a colorspace and codec that everyday NLEs can deal with, so keeping it in its native locus seems like it should be the path of least resistance.

Even Apple COLOR shared poorly with FCP – yes, it would switch back and forth, but you better believe there was a fight going on in the bg. Sometimes, you’d only get an “in use” warning, but other times there would be a sullen silence, followed by beach balls and eventually either a lockup or crash to the desktop.

If you recall, there was also a database carry over from Version 7 (it did involve backing up the original and then creating a new one in Version 8), so I think it is safe to assume that there will be a path to migrate V8 projects into V9 and carry through your original database.

[Shawn Larkin] “I hope in another year, it will be able to keep up with a demanding user (and have those improved audio mixing tools and a source viewer as Apple has mentioned).”
Hi Shawn! …. so it will gain value as soon as X grows up to become Final Cut Pro 8?

Plus. this seems like a “Basics and Configuration” kind of question….???

And can Resolve access CUDA cores on an extended Thunderbolt/PCIe adapter?
Seems like a stretch.

No, I mean is it a long-GOP format like HDV or H264, for example, from a stills camera?
FCP needs an intra-coded (whole) frame to generate meaningful data, so if you are in a long-GOP format, your eyedropper is going to the nearest intra frame and sampling that, not necessarily the frame you are parked on, so that if there is motion in that area, you are not seeing what you’re trying to sample.

You’re going to have to do a “secondary” correction. Do some research on “limit corrections” in the three-way and you’ll find that you will probably be able to change the luminance only in that shade of brown. The three-way in FCP is a bit crude, personally I wouldn’t even think of using it.
This is what Apple COLOR, DaVinci Resolve, and all the rest were built to do.

[Patrick Murphy] “One may argue that these are legitimate preoccupations of a modern profit driven corporation”
Well, these are the concerns of a modern, profit-driven society that is predicated on consumerism and the general paradigm of planned and perceived obsolescence. We’re the suckers who go along with it, who buy into it. You can say, oh, well, its Moore’s Law at work, and everything’s getting, better, faster, higher, stronger… …. really?
Like the stampede to own the latest and greatest whatever, otherwise “you suck”. Take FCX. (Please.. ba dump-bump-tssh). Does the same thing, but ignites a textbook firestorm of fashionista debate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLBE5QAYXp8 “The Story of Stuff”, from 2005. I love that it starts with an IPod. May as well begin with the obvious.
Tone is a tad shrill, perhaps, but I dare you to disagree with the premise.
The piece states that only 1% of all goods survive more than six months, not years, before being trashed…. have to wonder if that has changed in the intervening 7 years. Whether the glass volume is 50% of anything won’t matter, because the real number now is “the 1%”. If there’s only a drop of water in the glass, it is actually mostly empty, not partially full.

Is your media intra-frame?
