Color Curves controls appear in the Color inspector. The effect also appears in the
Effects section of the Video inspector.
Tip: To switch the inspector between full-height view and half-height view, double-
click the top bar of the inspector.
4. Click the View pop-up menu at the top of the Color inspector and choose a display
option:
• All Curves: Displays all four color curves at once.
The default color curves are Luma, Red, Green, and Blue.
• Single Curves: Displays one large color curve at a time. Click a button at the top of
the Color inspector to select the curve to display.
5. To set the black and white points, drag the control points on the ends of the Luma
curve.
It’s a good idea to use the waveform monitor as you do this, to make sure you don’t clip
the highlights or crush the blacks more than you want to, and to make sure the image
remains broadcast-safe. To show the waveform monitor, see Display video scopes in
Final Cut Pro.
