Achieving in Camera Preset Effects in Final Cut

It has been well documented that the A1 'out of the box' is pretty flat and drab...but that this flatness can give the most freedom in post.

One fellow on DVinfo shared these camera settings for his "cine" look which somewhat approximated HVX footage in terms of color.

Hey Thanks! I appreciate that. So here are the settings for my default Cine look:

Gamma: Cine 2
Knee: Low
Black: Stretch
Master Pedestal: 0
Setup Level: 0
Sharpness: -3
H DTL Frequency: Middle
DTL HV Balance: 0
Coring: 0
NR1: Off
NR2: Off
Color Matrix: Cine 2
Color Gain: 30
Color Phase: 0
R Gain: -8
G Gain: 0
B Gain: 0
RG Matrix: 0
RB Matrix: 0
GR Matrix: 0
GB Matrix: 0
BR Matrix: 0
BG Matrix: 0

My question is...

Has anyone documented the filters and settings one would apply in post (Final Cut ideally) to flat 'out of the box' A1 footage in order to achieve various camera presets?

It seems like the kind of thing where a chart or table should be out there.
 
I guess an example would be the Final Cut equivalent of the VIVIDRGB setting. I was interested in shooting some stuff in VividRGB and some stuff with "flat out of the box" colors and trying to manipulate it in post and compare the freedom / level of information...
