The two pics you've given are not that easy to match up, they have no similar elements in them, i.e. sky, areas of white, similar skin tones so its not that easy. But I managed to get a reasonable match pretty quickly by using the colour corrector, by very slightly desaturating and giving all 3 colour wheels a slight push towards the warmer areas, i.e. red. I would suggest you give this ago and spend some time, preferably using an external monitor to get a result that you are happy with.

Thanks, do you think i should Secondary CC firs to apply overall CC to it and then play with all 3 wheels? In Video Monitors it looks like the image of the girls is much more green thne the one of the man. How does one take away the greenines. Is it possible to push Greens alno into the reds?

I've wrriten several tutorials that cover some ways to match two videos.

Numbers 8-12 are probably what you want.
