My color correction book has a vivid example of how auto color correction can destroy a nice shot.
Terry is correct in that the results for Auto-CC vary depending on which tab you're in. How it works depends on the tab. If you do it while in the Curves tab, you can see exactly what it's doing because the curves Avid creates automatically are displayed right in front of you. In the Hue Offset tab, I believe it also does the same thing, but I rarely use it so I don't remember.
In Symphony there are also Settings (I think) for how it applies each of the corrections because the order that the corrections are applied makes a difference in how the correction looks. Check the MC6 settings to see if it has them to...I'm not at a machine to check, but there are definitely CC Settings.
It is possible for Auto-CC to have excellent results on the right show. And as a first step, it's not terrible to do, especially if you're in a rush and not great at doing CC manually.
