I made a blunder shooting with HD100 two scenes both 3200K and 5600K so some parts are blue and other are orange. Is there any way to fix this in post? And if so, any ideas that would help ease my anxiety?

No problems. WB is very easy to fix in post.

You can use the 3-way colour corrector in FCP and easily bring both shots in-line to meet each other.

And here's a free tutorial (Quicktime) which shows exactly how to do it. (It uses an example of footage which is too blue.)

The tutorial is called "Chip Chart" and can be found on this page:

Aye - that's rescued me a couple of times - it's really straightforward to do and works really well.
I did it once even when WB'ing against a white card with the same light but from a different end of a street. I assumed it was because I had laminated the white card and I reflections were contributing?
Hope you sort it Brian - I'm sure you will.
