Re: Color Grading Tools to augment FCP X

[Michael Holmes] "(1) Yes, I recognize the masking will be tedious and time-consuming in any case. But the FCP X masking just seems crude and cumbersome to me. I was hoping that there would be some easier tools to accomplish this."

If of course you have the budget and resources.
Ive had to do numerous lighting fixes with live events such as bands, shows and public speakings.
You have pre-plan no matter what NLE you are using.
