The following procedure shows how to use the Color Match palette and overlay to create a color correction.
The Color Match palette
1 Select the clip with a chart you want to sample. If necessary, you can use the View > Show Current Clip With Handles option to show additional frames at the beginning of the current clip to reveal a color chart in the leader of your media.
2 If necessary, choose an option from the Source Gamma drop-down menu that corresponds to the gamma with which the media was recorded.
3 Then, choose a target gamma and color space that corresponds to the format you want this clip to be matched to.
4 Click the Viewer tool drop-down, choose the Color Chart overlay, and use its corner-pinning controls to line the sampling boxes up with the color patches of the chart.
