Multi-cam color correction
I am doing a multi-cam production and did a test shoot and the the three camera’s colors are off. I am using the same cameras, and all the setting are the same. Can I use Fcp as a waveform/vectorscope to sync the cameras colors together. Or is there anyway I can do this or is there a reasonable software program.

If you have Final Cut Studio 2 you have Color which is the best color correction tool available on the Mac. I would suggest you edit the show first, color grade after the edit.

Is your question, “Can you use the scopes in FCP to calibrate your 3 cameras during your actual shoot?” That sounds like a great idea, but probably not, unless you have a video switcher, and something like the AJA Io HD to capture straight to FCP on your laptop. Then you can put test clips on the timeline and compare between them using the scopes. That seems a bit expensive. I think white balancing as best you can and correct with Color.
all the best
