Change color balance in whole clip after editing

Change color balance in whole clip after editing was created by ffg
I have edited an interview using Multicam with footage from 2 cameras. After editing I want to change the colour balance slightly to match the angles. Is there a way to do this without the rather laborious method of balancing the first clip (or two if I want to change both angles), saving a preset and then going along the timeline selecting each in turn and applying the preset? It would be nice to apply the change to the whole angle in one go?
What do you think of FCP's automatic analyse and fix colour balance function? Generally as good as manual colour balance?

Open the multicam clip and color correct the shot there. It's applied to every instance of the shot in the project.
I'm not a fan of the auto color balance. I find it generally too cold for my liking so I almost never use it. The other thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't use the color board controls so you can't tell what it's doing, allowing you to tweak the auto balance.

Thanks for the tip. I did notice that the automatic process doesn't register on the colour board.
