Color Finale which is probably the best color grading plug-in I have come across allows you to do what Mr. Hagan did in his tutorial. FCPX's built-in color board is so unintuitive and tough to color grade with.
I am not sure if Mr. Hagan has come across this issue on FCPX.
Thanks for the input. Very disappointing I must say. I made the jump from Final Cut to Premiere Pro when Final Cut Pro X was introduced. That was about 4-5 years ago?. By now I'd hoped Apple had upped their game since then. The initial release of FCPX was somewhat of a step down (professionally speaking IMHO) into the world of pretty consumer eye candy apps. They (Apple) lost a massive percentage of professional, die hard FCP cutters and editors when they decided to turn Final Cut Pro 7 into what FCP X is.
Regardless I know folks that still use FCP7 and FCPX. They produce some wonderful pieces so I guess in the end it's all about investing in an app... and learning everything you can. Strengths and weaknesses.
