    I have some clips that were not white balanced and want them to match other clips that were. The non-white balanced clips have more of a natural yellow light look. What is the best (most accurate) way to match the color in the two different sets of clips.

    TIA

    1)park cursor on white balanced clip
    2)take snapshot to clipboard
    3)Put cursor over non-white balanced clip
    4)In Preview window, select the split screen button, and choose “From Clipboard” in the dropdown.
    You’ll now see half the screen with the white balanced footage, and the other half is the non-white balanced.
    5)Drop the color corrector on the non-white balanced footage.
    Using the eyedropper, select colors from the white-balanced footage side of the preview window, and this will bring the non-white balanced footage fairly close, or it should.
    6)Tweak as needed.
