Jul 2, 2016 9:55 PM in response to Andy Drefsby fox_m,In the color board/color corrector effect, you can simply move the global puck to the red band and pull directly down. That action "subtracts" red from your scene. Your other option is to go to the Cyan band and push the puck up to "add" cyan (complementary) color to your source. You also have the option to use masking to make that action selective only to the "pizza region" of your scene.
Here's another video that demonstrates using animated masking with (over 90% of all) effects in FCPX:

This video promotes items for sale which you do not need for simple color correction (so I'm not asking you to buy anything). It does focus on a topic that might not be very well known. For example, if you know how to use the Hue/Saturation filter effect, then you could apply that to your pizza element with masking to normalize it instead of using the color board, etc.

my deepest respect and appreciation to lynda.com, and maybe it's caused by 'only an excerp', look:
Advice in that video is a 100% correct, but ...
left: clip selected, Color Balance, done.
right: lynda's result after a dozens steps.
hmmm try yourself ... one click only.
Why so shy to 'balance' first???
ok, Apple doesn't share the settings in the Color Boards, so, I can NOT fine-adjust the slight green cast in the Auto result.. but I'm free zo apply a 2nd Correction ...
What I've learned about CC, and I'm a beginner, is Step#1 should always check/adjust White Balance ... then the manual stuff ... then looks ...
