Matching XL1/GL2 Image/Color Can't Post

I'm shooting in university lecture hall w/fluoresent lighting - Any suggestions as to how to best match cameras i.e. using special color cards to white balance, shooting modes? Thanks!

The publisher's of this forum have a very nice special card for balancing: http://www.videouniversity.com/shooter.htm - it comes with "a 17- page article with lots of color pictures demonstrating how you can control color with our Rembrandt card, and many other shooting tricks and tips to put you in creative control of the look of your video. You’ll learn about color temperatures, how to create your own white balance cards and many special shooting circumstances like shooting monitors and TVs, tricks of shooting under fluorescents with examples and a lot more."

Liquid Edition 6.0 has a great color matching feature. It is single point and click. You use a color effect and pick a pointer matching tool. This makes the Preview and source windows capable of scrubbing through the media from different cameras, source being the one you want to update, and preview being the media you want to reference white balance levels from. By the time you let go of the mouse, the calculations is set. It is not a RT effect, but Liquid has background rendering. You can also copy and save your effects parameters. Now in 6.o you have track effects so you can apply an effect globally to the entire track. The software is only $499 new. Many people with other apps can get into it for $299 as an upgrade. see http://www.jetstreamer.com/edition%206.htm

all the best
