Matching Colors In Post

Hey everyone, I have a quick question. I'm new to color grading, how can I increase the saturation on the second attachment to match the first? Be advised, these two shots were shot using two different cameras. I mainly want the red to match. Thank you for your time!

In the Color workspace, the second image needs more Contrast and maybe after that, more Saturation.

 

Do this with the Scopes panel up, and in Comparison view in the program monitor, set the left (reference) image to a frame in the first clip, the playhead in the second clip.

 

Having the RGB Parade and Vectorscope up, compare the scopes display of the two images. Try for a similar contrast range, and a red "excursion" in the Vectorscope that is both about the same distance from the center, and about the same "hue angle", or place around the Vectorscope, as the reference.

 

Sometimes the "auto match" button can get you pretty close to start with.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Okay, I think I have the workspace how I need it to be. Confirming the button I have circled in red isn't the button I press to automatch the two clips I have in the comparison view?
