Welcome to a ProLuma Lesson from Pixel Film Studios.
ProLuma allows Final Cut Pro X users to extract the light out of their footage and manipulate it, to create glowing, radiant looks.
With 50 light control presets, users simply have to apply one to their footage and adjust the quality and color of the light in their footage. ProLuma will do the rest.
_________________
Let’s begin with setting up your FCPX timeline.
First select your media from the FCPX library and drag it to the timeline.
After that locate ProLuma in the effects library and drag it directly on top of your media.
For this example we will be using effect number 40.
_________________
Once you have your timeline set up, Let’s customize the color of our light. 
Go to the Inspector Window.
The Effect Opacity is going to be the first and last thing that you check when using this preset.
Pick a Light color and Fill Light color that best suits your style, Clicking the drop down arrow on the left will allow you to control the Reds, Greens, and Blues in both Light color and Fill Color so you can get the exact look you want.
________________
Next let’s choose our light type. 
ProLuma comes with 13 light options to choose from. Think of these different looks as blend modes.
The 3 sliders below, which are Light Softness, Light Shape Horizontal, and Light Shape Vertical, control the Fill Light color and Light type that you have chosen.
The adjustments you make will be very subtle but will make all the difference in your final look.
After that you have your Cross-Lights and Cross-Darks.
Consider these as overlays to your adjustments you previously made.
You can also control the Reds, Greens, and Blues in the colors you selected.
The cross-Process opacity controls how strong your cross-lights and cross darks come through. 
_______________
Now, for some Final Touches.
To give your media a little extra you can use the Flicker Effect and Flicker Amount sliders.
In order for the Flicker controls to work, you must have your Cross-Process Opacity turned up.
