-Dude, honestly, that was one of the best all-time balancing tutorials I have ever seen..Would it be possible to link 3 .TIFFs so we could follow along?

When you tried Shot Match, what was your timeline colour space set to? It's not likely to work at all if that doesn't match how your CSTs were set

Can I move set of node from "clip" to "timeline" level? That so weird that they not make it just "copy - paste"...🤦

[narrativasavulsas]

The problem with using the timeline node make color adjustments is when titles are added to the film. Havent found a way do bypass that.

I think you may be using color match wrong. If you try to match two uncorrected log files won’t work. You need to have a basic grade done first before using color match.
