Matching color rendition across cameras

[Bill Parsons]

I am using a Panasonic DVX200 and also own an HPX250. When I do a 2-camera shoot, I don’t get the same color in the videos, in spite of using a WhiBal card to set the W/B. I recently used an EVA-1 with a Canon 11-24 lens in combination with the DVX200 and the color matches with no noticeable differences. I didn’t even try to shoot a white card to balance them.

Any thoughts on matching colors. Even “match color” in FCPX doesn’t do it.

Many thanks, Bill
