post production after shooting with the hvx200

[jamessilverman5678]

after shooting a short film on HD via the HVX 200 720pn using 35mm lenses, after reviewing my work, i came to realize that there are a few scenes we ran out of light or some exposure tweaking, just some general production limitations i would like to correct in post as possible but cost friendly. what kind of machine / DI should we use that is cost effective to use power windows for correction, then output to HDCAM for exhibition. we are editing on FCP, NOT avid. thanks alot for your input. trying to gather professional opinions. i am interested in your thoughts.

cheers.

So you want to stay on a Mac? Is that what I am reading?

Why not use Color it comes bundled with FCP 6?

i didnt know that FCP had that kind of potential, is it something equivalent to Avid's Nitrous?

and yes, i am staying on mac.

Color was a $4200 application before it was purchased by Apple and integrated in FCS2 last May.

You do need to powerful video card etc to use it.
