I am new to the serious end of Prem Pro and video editing. I know my basic way around but i am about to embark on shooting some promo videos for bands.

At the moment my gear contains a DSLR, GOPROS and Panasonic HD Cameras. I expect each video will have 10-12 shots to edit.

What i am trying to get my head around is the best way to match the cameras... Here is what i am thinking..

If i use Speedgrade first of all to match the 'as shot' shots for all the cameras and then use those matched files in Prem Pro. I then create a Multi Camera edit and then do any artistic and colour correction stuff on that one main multi cam edit?

The alternative seems to be to edit each camera to the look i want within Prem Pro, but that seems like a lot longer process. Does what i have said make sense to do or am I missing something important as to why thats not a good way to do things?

I've taken to doing my basic color work first just because Premiere Pro doesn't properly handle my RAW media. So I work in Resolve and export out Cineform copies for editing. The difference is that you'd have to convert twice, once before SpeedGrade and then after SpeedGrade, just because the media you have won't open in SpeedGrade.

Thanks. I didnt really think about the converting of the media. I dont think i am at the level of working with RAW video yet, so that wouldnt apply to me.

My main concern was my actual ability to match lots of clips in prem pro. I liked the idea of using speedgrades auto camera match to set me up with a solid basis.

If i dont use speedgrade, do i have to then edit each small clip on my multi camera edit individually?
