In an up-coming shoot we will be using a Panasonic HVX200 and a Panasonic AF100. I'd like to match their outputs as closely as possible to minimize the work in post. I'm looking for a good procedure for doing this. I don't have much experience with the HVX200, but I'm guessing that the AF100 is more customizable, so I'll be matching it to the HXV200. Thanks for your thoughts.

Matching an HVX200 with an AF100

The main snag you might run into is the fact that the af100 shoots .mts files which are much more compressed files than the ones on the hvx200. I would suggest converting the .mts to an apple 422 prores. Clipwrap is a good software for this mission. What editing software is going to be used for this project?

You really need to get both cameras plugged in to the same monitor and do an A/B switch between them. The menu settings on both cameras are the same (except for DRS) but just setting them to the same settings won't make them look exactly the same, you may still have to fine-tune and adjust. And most definitely do a manual white balance on both.

What adjustments will I most likely need to make, where would you start? And, once the two cameras are close, can these adjustments be saved to an sd card?

You're going to have to adjust probably just about everything. Set the gamma curves the same, set the matrix the same, and then consider you'll probably have to fiddle with the master pedestal, the detail level, the color saturation, the chroma phase, everything. And yes, once you get it dialed in "right", you can save that to your SD card, and you can name it (so on your AF100 you could save an "HVX Look" preset, and on your HVX you'd save an "AF100 Look" preset).

Is there a best order in which to proceed?
