Final touch and Synthetic aperture are both great pieces of software but I have one day to grade a 50 minute doc with 500+ edits – They are just too slow and the rendering takes forever – neither will give real time previews and there are xml export issues into the standalone versions. I am planning to use color finesse for the complex grades but the bulk of the work will have to be in FCP –
Thats why Im trying to configure a kensington track ball to work with the color wheels – problem is the keyboard short cuts which I have assigned to two buttons on the trackball dont do anything.
Wouldnt it be nice if someone did a CC control surface for FCP?
