If you’ve used multiple cameras within a project or if the lighting varies between shots, the resulting clips can look noticeably different. You can use the Color Corrector and Color Corrector (Secondary) plug-ins to minimize the differences.

1. Click in the timeline to place the cursor on the frame that contains the clip you want to match.

2. Click the Copy Snapshot to Clipboard button in the Video Preview window to copy the frame.

3. Click the down arrow next to the Split-Screen View button and choose Clipboard from the menu. The frame you copied is displayed in the Video Preview window.

   If you want to change the portion of the frame that is displayed, click the down arrow next to the Split-Screen View button and choose Select Left Half, Select Right Half, or Select All  from the menu, or drag in the Video Preview window to create a selection.

4. Select the event you want to color correct and click in the timeline to place the cursor on a frame that contains the same color content as the frame you copied in step 2.

5. Click the Event FX button on the event you want to color correct, and add the Color Corrector and Color Corrector (Secondary) plug-ins.

6. Adjust the plug-in settings as needed until the colors match.
