3. Click Modify at the top of the Library Properties inspector.
4. Select one of the following in the window that appears:
• Standard: Set the working color space to linear RGB with Rec. 709 color primaries,
the color space that previous versions of Final Cut Pro have used. Rec. 709 is the
current standard for HDTV projects, including HD cable, Blu-ray discs, and most
streaming video today.
• Wide Gamut HDR: Set the working color space to linear RGB with Rec. 2020 color
primaries, a color space with a wider range of colors than Rec. 709. Rec. 2020 is
useful for 4K and 8K UHDTV and HDR projects. In a Wide Gamut HDR library, the
built-in camera LUT settings preserve the full dynamic range of log source media
when converting to the working space. See
Apply LUTs in Final Cut Pro.
A third option, Wide Gamut (Deprecated), appears if you selected a wide-gamut
library containing log media that was created with Final Cut Pro 10.3. The Wide Gamut
(Deprecated) option ensures that wide-gamut projects created with Final Cut Pro 10.3
don’t change in appearance.
Important: If you switch from Wide Gamut (Deprecated) to another color-processing
setting, you can’t switch back—the Wide Gamut (Deprecated) setting will no longer be
available.
Set the color space for a project
You can choose one of four color space options for your project if the library color
processing is set to Wide Gamut HDR and the project video format is set to HD or larger.
When you set the project color space, the project’s render files are generated in that color
space, and your project is exported in that color space if the destination codec supports
it. During playback, output images are converted to the project color space and then
displayed onscreen according to the display device’s color profile.
1. In the Libraries sidebar in Final Cut Pro, select the event that contains the project you
want to modify, then select the project (or double-click it to open it in the timeline).
2. Do one of the following:
• Choose Window > Project Properties (or press Command-J).
• Click the Inspector button on the right side of the toolbar.
