Hi, this is Margaret with Noble Desktop. Today, we will be looking at Comparison View in the Lumetri Color workspace.
Sometimes your footage will be shot at different times of day, like this good example here—one lighting and here's another.
Now, I'd like to have this clip appear to be taken exactly at the same time and place as this clip. To do this, make sure you are in the Color workspace, and keep Lumetri Scopes up. Under Color Wheels and Match, put your playhead on the clip you would like to change and click on Comparison View. This will take you to the other clip, or to every clip on the timeline if there are more.
Once you've done that, press 'Apply Match' and watch the clip adjust. There will be changes in the shadows, midtones and highlights. You can adjust further if you'd like—for example, the shadows could be a little more yellow, or the highlights could be a little more yellow.
To get out of Comparison View, click on the icon again. You can also keep this icon down here so you can easily shut off Comparison View.
I hope you've enjoyed this lesson on Comparison View. This has been Margaret with Noble Desktop.
