why no match color control?

I'm a Color newbie. I use match color/hue a lot in FCP and just 'expected' it to be in Color-I'm sure there's a good reason for its omission.

I guess it could be argued that its a cheat, but then so is auto everything on a dSLR

Point is, it gets you in the ball park. You can choose to use it or ignore it. Why isn't it included?

Overriding this in any case, it will cost money to develop and implement another set of tools for an application that has no cost-recovery mechanism -- that is , it is being "given away" as a bonus prize in the Cracker Jack box known as Final Cut Studio. Apple is not motivated to do anything else.

JP,

I've been hearing this "Apple is a consumer company therefore Final Cut Studio will die" since the first iMacs became a success.

We're approaching the 2 year mark for the next refresh of FCS. Hopefully Color will have gotten some sprucing up along with the rest of the Suite. I don't know we'll get Shot Matching as has been requested in this thread - but I'd expect to see some housecleaning (and maybe new furniture) to be done.
