Use expanded color controls in Final Cut Pro
Sometimes you need precise numerical control over colors. You might also need to match
two colors exactly or adjust a color channel independently.
Every set of color controls has a disclosure triangle, which, when clicked, reveals sliders
for the Red, Green, and Blue color channels. You can choose or fine-tune a color by
adjusting these sliders. Among other uses, these controls are handy when you need to
keyframe each color channel differently.
Gradient controls
Intro to the gradient editor in Final Cut Pro
Many titles and generators that can be filled with a color can also be filled with a gradient.
Like color controls, gradient controls are a group of settings that can be expanded for more
precise control.
