I'm color correcting and I would like to view a clip, and in another viewer, see the clip that I am adjusting. This way I can try to match the color by eye sight. The color match tool does not always work, and I can't find any way to view two clips at once. Is there a way to do this or do I need to move my files to a seperate program to color correct?

There's a bit of a clumsy way. Make a compound clip of the clip you want to compare to. The compound will appear in the event browser. Open the compound in the event viewer. You'll then have the two clips side by side together with both video scopes for direct comparison.

Thanks so much Tom! That totally works for now. I hope that Apple eventually comes up with a more graceful solution!
