Turn iMovie adjustments on or off

brightness, and saturation, in the Project Browser. If you import an iMovie project that has these
adjustments into Final Cut Pro, the adjustments are retained and appear in the Color area of the
Video inspector as an iMovie item.
Although you cannot modify the adjustments added in iMovie, you can choose whether they are
applied to the clip or not.
Note: Video adjustments you make to clips in the iMovie Event Browser are not retained and do
not appear in Final Cut Pro.
