Grading RED 4k footage

Our first Video Editing Technology 2 tutorial was to grade footage shot on a digital RED One 4k camera.

It was graded on Final Cut Pro's Color Corrector & 3-way Color Corrector to try match the intentional different white balances.

As anyone knows about white balances, it is pretty much impossible to mtch footage set-up on different settings.

It was very hard, but I believe I got to a point where the whites, blacks, midtones & colours were close to matching up.

Enjoy!
