Thumbnails in Timeline Not Updating was created by robertdc

Hi,

Apologies if I am asking something very basic but I am a photographer just starting to get into video and completely new to FCPX. I accidentally recorded some 4K clips with the tungsten white balance selected on my camera, meaning that they all have a horrible blue tint. I fixed this in one clip using the Color Board and then used Cmd-C and Shift-Cmd-V to copy and paste the effect onto some other affected clips. When I press the Spacebar to preview the video everything looks fine but the thumbnails in the timeline still look blue. Is there a way I can get these to update to reflect the color adjustments I made?

Also, is this the best approach to fixing my color problem? I picked up this method from a free Youtube tutorial.

Thanks

Robert

No. The filmstrips are drawn by trading the original media files, not by processing the video. That would slow the application down much further.

Your method sounds correct.
