TIP: Keep in mind that not every shot needs to have a chart. If the lighting of the
location used in a scene is consistent, you really only need a single chart analysis to
generate a correction that you can copy to all other clips in the same scene. Of course,
if you are using multiple cameras in a scene, you should have a chart analysis for each
separate camera if you want to try and match them more closely together.
Configuration Controls
Here’s a more detailed explanation of each of the parameters found in the Color Match palette.
 Source Gamma: Defines the source gamma the media was recorded with. You must
select the correct gamma or the results will not be as accurate.
 Target Gamma: Lets you select a target gamma that you want the corrected clip to use.
While this will most likely be the gamma you’re outputting the finished program at, you
can choose other target gamma values for specialized workflows.
