Sony Vegas and Media Studio Yep, I know they're not related, but they both fall in the Premiere Alternative bracket in my humble opinion! Post here for Ulead Media Studio or Vegas video problems or pointers...

Default matching colour with dual monitors

Hi,
I have just got myself a second monitor so i can preview my footage more easily.
It works great, but i can't seem to get the colours to match, and now i'm starting to think, 'well which monitor has the more accurate colour'.
Is there something that i should do in order to get the colours to match exactly or is it just a matter of adjusting the settings on the monitor until it matches?
I have had a search around the forums but i couldn't find anything and google didn't do wonders either.
Thankyou,
Matt.

Ideally you need a monitor calibration tool like the Pantone Huey Pro.

If you don't want that expense then just use colour bars.

Set the colour for your main monitor, then adjust for the secondary display.
