Matching Source Video in a 3 Camera Shoot

That is typically done after the fact.

Cut first, then color correct one shot each from your three cams, then copy the CC to all other shots from that cam using the copy and paste attributes command. A very useful, but little known trick for that, is to use the “Find all” command to select all clips from each camera (i.e Find All with Camera-A) and apply the CC to all the highlighted clips at once.

Here’s a great tutorial from Digital Heaven’s Martin Baker that explains the Find All procedure really well: https://www.digital-heaven.co.uk/hot-tips-ep-7 .

How the heck did I miss that one? *smacking forehead* David, For some time now I’ve been Cmd-selecting clips from the same camera in a multiclip timeline in order to paste attributes. Since there are usually 3 separate angles in my multiclips and they sometimes last upwards of a hour each this “selecting all the same camera cuts” can take awhile. By using the “find all” command instead you’re probably going to save me a ton of time during the next edit.

And I thought I’d seen all of Martin’s toots. Thanks, David.
