Best multi-camera color correction work flow?

[RC23]

I'm working on color correcting a multi camera shoot.. they already cut the show, but all the cameras are at different white balances and exposures.

Here are the different shots being used...

Camera 1, Thursday and Friday
Camera 2, Thursday and Friday
Camera 3, Thurs, Fri
Camera 4, Thurs, fri..

so.. overall 8 different camera setups..

I was going through and color correcting each camera/day but it was taking forever.. its a 2 hour performance.

then I tried to separate each day and camera to a different layer then nested them and color corrected..
problem is that when I did that sometimes when I would lift the clip to the next layer it would cover the shot that was original under it.. making changes in the edit..plus dealing with the possible ripple delete was problematic.

Any GOOD work flows for this kind of thing?


Thanks!

if you are using 3-way CC then why not copy the filter to each clip from the same shoot/tape? that'd at least get you an approximate correction.

i agree with big boss.

you can do a "Find All" and apply your 3-way CC to specific cameras
