Final Cut Pro trainer Larry Jordan has a whole series of training videos at Lynda.com. Over at Creativemac you can watch a free video tutorial excerpt on understanding Final Cut’s video scopes.

Larry starts by covering the basics of color theory and then moves on to the Histogram, RGB Parade, Waverform, and Vectorscope, and how they relate to monitoring and color correction. He touches on the Vectorscope’s “flesh line”, and also on determining if colors or luminance is within broadcast safe limits. It’s a great tutorial, and suprisingly lengthy for a freebie.

Jordan also offers a free monthly newsletter on all things FCP/Mac production, I highly recommend it. And if he ever gets out of video, I’ll bet the guys over at Pzizz would hire him for his voice…
