I have been shooting alot of test footage alongside of a friend of mine in preparation for a short we doing. I am using an hvx/sgpro/canon lens combo, my friend is using a dvx/sgpro/nikon lens combo. I edit in final cut, he edits in vegas. We were comparing stills last night and our footage looks similar in contrast pre CC'd but in post he is able to achieve a very high contrast rich looking image by using the CURVES feature in vegas. We both do a final render in MB but his prior curves adjustment give a very heavily contrasted image with crushed blacks before going into MB. I am looking to achieve similar post workflow, but have yet to find curves in FCP and everything else degrades the image too heavily and MB isnt really cutting it in terms of adjustment prior to look. What is the equivlent to a CURVES adjustment. I noticed the short "ILLEAGAL" was shots hvx/redrock/nikon and the look is very similar to my friends, however the CC was done in FCP with heavy mention of CURVES adjustment. Can anyone shed some light on this for me - Sorry it's long.
 
sorry dude there are no curves in fcp, there are curves in color if you really need them, I suggest you learn how to use the 3 way color corrector, very very powerful
 
I am familiar with the 3 way color corrector and I am aware of the curves within it, perhaps i should have been more clear. I was wondering if there was some sort of stand alone curves filter in FCP like that of vegas that maybe i was not aware of, but from what you have stated im assuming there isnt - thank man
