Steps

1Pick the reference

On the timeline, click the clip whose look you want, then click Match Color.

2Fine-tune and apply

PowerDirector sets the four sliders to the match it found: Level, Hue, Saturation, and Brightness. Keep those values or adjust any slider, and lower Level if the match looks too strong. Then click Apply.

The Color Match sliders highlighted with Level at 65, Hue at 35, and Saturation at 98, and the Apply button highlighted

3Compare before and after

Color Match is now checked in the Color list. Uncheck it to compare before and after, then check it again to keep the match.
