One constant look...Color Correction?

[DVX100Shooter]

I have a 2 minute piece I am working on of 3 of the X-Games bike riders doing tricks in the air. I shot from all different angles under the same constant lighting available in the convention center they were riding in. I even have shots way up in the air shooting down from the cat walk.

For the most part all of the shots match as far as look is concerned. But there are a few shots from when I shot at a different angle that don't look as bright as the others ones.

So do I tone down the other shots to match the ones that aren't as bright or do the opposite and tone up the few clips that are not as bright as the others. There must not have been a light on in the rear of one of the ramps.

When you color correct...you don't do each clip individually do you? I remember reading something about selecting the first clip or whatever clip I wanted to correct then doing something to get all other clips after that to match the first clip but I am not sure how to go about doing that.

You have to select each clip to color correct indivisually or nest the items (sequence menu) then hold down the option key and double click on the nested item to do it to all the items at once.

Well -- once you've corrected the first clip then you can copy that filter from that clip and drop it into the others.  

BUT -- See those little arrows next to the copy/drag hand at the top left of the window? You can use that to push the filter to the next clip forward or two. Very usefull!!

Good luck,
