Lastly, Shot Match has been designed to do no harm to the image. This means if you use Shot Match to
try and match an underexposed interior shot to an exterior shot exposed at high noon on a sunlit day,
the Shot Match algorithm will do its best to “split the difference” in order to make the difference
between these two clips less jarring, while at the same time taking care not to stretch the color and
contrast adjustments being made to the underexposed clips to the point where the image falls apart.
How to Use Shot Match
There’s no way to easily describe what Shot Match does. It’s a complex algorithm designed to try and
deal with an impossibly varied number of different situations. As a result, Shot Match doesn’t apply
adjustments to any of the user-editable controls in the Color page. Instead, the image adjustment
created by Shot Match is applied invisibly, as the very last adjustment to the node that was selected
when Shot Match was used, similar to a LUT.

The procedure for using Shot Match is deceptively simple. However, getting a good result requires
some careful thought in terms of choosing which clips to match to one another.
To match one or more selected clips to a specific clip:
1 Following the guidelines presented in this section, Command-click or Shift-click one or more
clips that you want to be matched. The clip you want to match to may or may not be part of the
selection. You may select as few as one clip, or as many as you like.
Selecting clips you want to be matched
TIP: If you want to make it easier to notice the before and after, you can turn on Split
Screen, and choose Selected Clips from the mode drop-down in the Viewer Options.
This lets you see all the clips you’re about to match in a grid.
2 Next, right-click the clip you want to match all of the selected clips to, and choose Shot Match to
This Clip.
