Lowering color saturation in Final Cut Pro

[Huntr777]

Hi all, I videotaped some pro wrestling over the weekend with a 3 cam seteup. One of the handheld cams is pretty new and a bit more expensive than the other 2, as a result, that oen cam's colors are a lot more bright and vibrant than the other 2. Question is, without using color correction (my Mac won't run it...) how can I compensate and bring down the color so there's not so much of a color shift when I use the footage from that cam?

You can't use the simple color adjustment tools within FCP?
Chapter 27, FCP Manual?

Well that's the whole thing Terry, there are so many options, I simply do not know which one to choose...any idea?

Hunt,
my question was directed more to the fact of you having SYSTEM ISSUES:

Question is, without using color correction (my Mac won't run it...

I'm taking this to understand that you can't run COLOR the application that
comes with FC Studio? So my suggestion was just to use
the built in color adjusters in FCP as noted in Chapter 27
of the FCP manual.

And Smurfy was on the nose... not sitting in front
of your Mac, there is only so much we can do/recommend.
But starting with the simple color adjustment tools in FCP
is a good place to start.
