So, for example, if I'm using two different cameras, the cameras have different looks AND interchangeable lenses if the cam-ops swap lenses during the shoot, I can have a group for cameras, and a group for lenses. The group method is good, because while you can restrict a group correction to a particular track, or a particular camera, you don't have to, and a clip can belong to multiple groups.

Finally, you can use 'Timeline' view in the node viewer to apply an overall grade to the whole timeline, which is useful for 'legalizing' the whole program making sure the waveform and vector scopes stay within range for the whole show. Then, I might use 'group-post' if I notice all of the grouped cameras still need a group-based adjustment, perhaps to un-distort a lens, for example.

Then, once everything matches, move clip-by clip in 'clip' view, making individual adjustments on a case-by-case basis. I might, for example, do a basic first pass in group-pre, matching all of the cameras' white balance, exposure, and look. The order of operations depends on whether you used 'pre' or 'post' and you can always do both. Additionally, If you switch the node viewer back to 'clip,' you can stack additional corrections on your group corrections. When you grade one, it will grade all of the other ones that are linked. You'll now notice green chain link icons across all of the clips you have grouped together.

Select either 'group pre-clip' or 'group post-clip' from the dropdown.

Click the disclosure triangle next to the word 'Clip' above the node viewer.

Choose 'Add into a new group' from the menu.

Right-click on any of the now selected clips to bring up a contextual menu.

You can limit the clips shown on the color page to a single track by disabling the video tracks on either the color page or the edit page.

Shift click all of the clips you want to color correct at the same time.
