colour correction

hello, wondering if anyone could help me
on fcpx
how to people manage to get there color correction like this



or



i mean as in the color are so clear and sharp, is there some time of layer they/effect they add

anyone?

I don't really see much in the way of color correction in the first video that is anything out of the ordinary. Ali/Clay sure looked great then, & I'm sure they didn't pay for that copyright to use those clips, but I'm pretty sure that vid would never make it to broadcast anyway.

The second one looks like it's been treated with one of the color filters in FCPX. You can experiment with them & get the desired effect. They've also added a periodic flare effect. Maybe mFlare.

But that color grade in the second one is probably something like Cinematic filter, or Burnt Orange, or Blockbuster. Try dropping one of those on your clip, then tweaking the controls a bit.

Maybe he means the bleach bypass effect, do you?

To me it just looks super contrasty. Try this. Take a screen shot of the look you want.
Open that still in Final Cut and turn on scopes. In this case I'd use the waveform monitor without saturation turned on. Now work on your image using the scope or even try the match feature to get you in the ballpark.

Basically this has the exposure cranked up with blacks crushed. Saturation pulled down with highlights and mids with reduced blues.

Which, I think is exactly what the Blockbuster filter does...
