I am shooting movie with 3 DVXs and I like to know if anyone know to match the color for all three. I know it is impossible to do this match. But since I am shooting indoor if anyone knows how to match these cams closer so I don’t need to worry too much in post
 
anyone?

anyone?

without vectorscope it is hard to match
also since it is RCA out only it is not easy
so I am hoping if anyone know some tricks that make it match
I am thinking go back to black in the post and re-color it

Why can't you just set all of them to the same scene setting?

clickapple, What did not compute about the previous statement (as in the one I quoted)? Setup your cameras exactly the same and you should have no problem the way I understand it.
 
If they are set up the same they will be very close - they could be slightly different due to manufacturing differences - but they will be very close and just a touch of color correction will finish it
 
W. ballance them from the same board and angle. Then go crazy with the work at hand. Also, Premier Pro has a way to match in post.

I would strongly suggest using one of the 2 presets, rather than manually setting the balance. Shooting indoors (unless you are lighting the place or using light streaming in from windows) your best bet is set all 3 camera's to 3200K. This way all 3 cameras will be VERY close to the same color. In post, after you've cut your scene together, you can do a color correction pass to finesse the final output. While you're shooting you may be really tempted to white balance to make it look better in camera, but then you'll have 3 different color temps and your edit will be a challenge to match all 3. I have learned this thru experience.
 
i agree with previous replies: set the same scene file settings in all of the cameras, then white balance all of them on the very same white sheet, on the same position, with the same lights, from the same angle, and roughly at the same time.

while the perception of colors could slightly change in the LCD (cause of the lcd settings), im confident they will match perfectly in editing.
