When shooting video, you can have unintended color variations from one shot to another. SpeedGrade lets you even out these differences, and balance the clips such that the video flows smoothly from one clip to the next.

You can quickly compare multiple shots on the timeline using the Continuity Checker, and match the color grading as required. The Continuity Checker is often used in combination with the Shot Matcher feature.

  1. Position the master playhead on a timeline that contains two or more clips.

  2. To compare two shots, click 2-Up in the Monitor panel. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Alt+2 (Win)/Option+2 (Mac).

    To compare three shots, click 3-Up in the Monitor panel, or use the keyboard shortcut Alt+3 (Win)/Option+3 (Mac).

    Note:

    To remove the additional playheads and view only the current clip, deselect 2-Up or 3-Up, as required. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Alt+1(Win)/Option+1(Mac).

SpeedGrade provides you with a feature called Shot Matcher that lets you automatically match color between two video shots from the same or a similar scene. For example, you can quickly correct underexposed or overexposed footage by using another shot as reference.

The Shot Matcher feature works best when used in combination with the Continuity Checker. You can use the Continuity Checker to compare the two shots, and then match the color between the shots using Shot Matcher.

For example, say, you have shot a video in different light conditions, and you want to match the skin tone of the model between two shots in the same scene. You can compare the two shots using Continuity Checker, and then match the color between shots using Shot Matcher.

See the example images below that demonstrate how the Shot Matcher feature can dynamically color match your footage.
