Tip #236: Faster Color Correction

Custom shortcuts make color grading a LOT faster!
Iain Anderson writes in MacProVideo:
There are several color correction commands that are inaccessible, if you don’t create custom keyboard shortcuts for them. For example, open Final Cut Pro > Commands > Customize and search for Color. Then, assign shortcuts to:
- Apply Color Wheels
- Apply Color Correction from Previous Edit
- Apply Color Correction from Two Edits Prior
- Apply Color Correction from Three Edits Prior
- Color Board: Toggle Correction on/off
Suddenly, all your color corrections will go a LOT faster!
Ah….how do you ‘assign’ a color shortcut. I followed your instructions and this beautiful multicolored keyboard, etc appears but I was unable to take the next steps to assign a shortcut.
Help … and thank you
