Here's some tips on fixing white balance in your videos!

[@napanorth]

Bro. I hope you see this comment. Get into acting. 100%. Just your look, your voice, your personality. You fit so perfectly in anything remotely comedy related.

[@eie_for_you]

I have a REAL challenge in color correction ... scuba diving videos. Red goes away with depth, but I might be shooting with underwater lights which provide full spectrum for the object, but not the background. I want to be able to color correct the entire shot and then "un-color-correct" an object in the foreground. I am WAAAY new to DaVinci and this is blowing my mind. Using DaVinci 17.

[@DrawCuriosity]

So many great nuggets of knowledge in here :) Cheers Casey

[@I.AM.STANLEY]

you make it all look so easy. I was preparing myself for this mind f**k and you were like "nope just do this and that and youre done." great video

[@FergbyFive]

same. had a colour shift when the battery died and my assistant didn't notice.

[@MaDooReview]

Thank you so much! I never do this right and always get awful result, but you just made it easy!

[@farrOutTV]

Your explanations in your tutorials are excellent! Keep moving in this direction and giving Him all the glory as you go! Cheers!

[@brucehoover5140]

Wow! Great tutorial. I used to believe that if it's shot right, you'll never have to correct it, but have learned (quickly and by the hard way), that nothing is ever perfect no matter how well it's shot. I used to spend hours guessing how to color correct and you just showed several techniques in 7 minutes. Nicely done!

[@personaldronerepair6141]

Casey ....you rock ! Thank you for all these tutorials . The time in and info shared are much appreciated . Thank You

[@rodeopenguin]

Casey, your videos have helped me immeasurably.

[@JulioRuiz-Cinematographer]

Another great one, Casey!

[@ivannaivanova8542]

This video was so mindblowing and interesting that I can't wait to purchase your course. I really love how you teach and explain things.

[@nick9687ify]

Hey, Quick tip u can mask the white tiles out. Now u only see that in the parade.

[@TheGambaGeek]

Great content, good and to-the-point explanation. Exactly what I needed, thank you!

[@Anastasia-dv3bn]

Great tutorial! Thanks for the tips

[@johncyberskip6498]

Nice work Casey. Good info, well presented. Cheers

[@YSAImusic]

Great video! Subscribed in the first ten seconds. Loved that you used the term "information superhighway"

[@motion_ality]

Awesome man, thanks for this! Subscribed!

[@osareafallire]

Interesting and dramatically effective. I used to mask out a section of white and balance to that. This seems easier. I also like the inclusion of balancing shadows and desaturating highlights. Smart moves.

[@billdillon8139]

Thank you for the tutorial. Now to practice a bit.

[@Reflektorx]

Fantastic. Thank you!

[@stephajn]

This is a lifesaver for footage that I shoot where I might have the wrong white balance. I've always gone back and shot it again. Now I don't have to! Thanks!

I Always appreciate your Tutorials works and you are also funny 😀

[@nataliagrigoryeva6615]

Thank you! Very helpful!

[@quangtriethuynh4120]

Thanks you. This is useful!

[@MarcelCristoceaPhotography]

Amazing video, thank you so much!

[@MrSanderrrG]

Hi Casey, thanks for the tutorial. I noticed you prefer the LGG controls over the offset. This may be fine for rec709 footage, but for log footage this approach will actually change the linearity of your footage. In other words: I think in those scenario's using the offset / printer lights is much preferred. Also neutral blacks is (in my opinion) more important than completely neutral whites, as white naturally reflects color and is therefore also sort of a stylistic choice.

[@Bill1844]

Great tutorial!!!

[@mattweinberger1452]

Great video! Thanks!

[@samidogan8852]

great video man thanks !

[@adisgodona]

Yes i defintly like the way you did, thanks,

[@TwoThreeFour]

Thanks. A. Lot! This tip really is very helpful!

[@LaserDeniz]

Great video!!! Thanks

[@markpx]

Excellent info!

[@waitngo]

excellent best way to explain it!

[@leslieyp]

very useful. thanks Casey ^^

[@El_Diablo_12]

This is like magic to me, so cool

[@AlexLopez-iy4by]

Thank you, very helpful.

[@storyfirstfilms149]

luved it and bought the tutorial too and luv that.. highly suggest it folkies on the you tubes!

[@hari6015]

One of Best Tutorials tq so much Buddy

[@3dhYT]

This is great. Thanks.

[@JasonKing247]

great as always, didn't know about that Lum vs Sat feature. Going to be huge on fixing my footage shot from my Mavic or Osmo mobile, both notorious for blowing out whites and adding color tints.

[@8ulls3y3]

So helpful. You are definitely the life vest for this drowning man.

[@fabuxo]

Good Lord, that's fantastic. Thanks, Casey

[@ItsKapow]

I accidentally set my camera to 5600k for a kitchen scene and it looked like dogs breakfast, glad I recovered it, thanks man!

[@badkat2752]

yes, exactly the kind of info i needed :)

[@KilianKunz]

Good stuff. Thanks.

[@sin3rgy]

Amazing!!!

[@ismailnasyr1557]

thanks for the tips, easy & effective. also why are creating nods, is it possible to color correct in one nod

[@FlushVision]

Hi Casey. First of all, your tutorials on Davinci Resolve are fantastic. Keep up the good work. I've recently, within the last two weeks, started to use Resolve (the free version) to edit footage from my Typhoon H UAV in preference to a very basic editor I used to use (Windows Movie Maker). However, I've noticed that the rendered footage stutters a bit when playing back, particularly if the drone footage is moving sideways so to speak, and the stuttering is evident even when it's uploaded to KZbin. I never had this problem using Windows Movie Maker. Now, I think that the problem is probably down to rendering settings. I wonder if you could suggest ideal rendering or any other settings to eliminate the stuttering? I'm shooting footage at 1080p @ 30fps Thanks in anticipation.

[@oksanabula8709]

thank you!

[@s6mna920]

Good tut!!!

[@hfranke07]

Awesome..... thanks

[@sanjkmr26]

wow...gr8 learning ❤👍👌

[@Adam-Friended]

very helpful.

[@DannyBlocher]

Do you ever use the white balance and tint sliders at the bottom of the screen?

[@houseofintent]

Hey, I'm coming from Premiere, is there an eye-dropper tool where you can sample a white part of the footage and it automatically white balances for you or gets you close?

[@ChanceBrunton]

I finally understand what the luminance vs saturation curve does!

[@user-wq7fg1id3v]

You speak English pretty clear easy to understand good job.

[@kunkelvideography9170]

SUBBED! I am blown away with how powerful the color tools are in Resolve. I have been using Adobe products for 10 years now, but what took me 30 minutes to simply correct the white balance in Premiere Pro (using lumetri) took but 30 seconds in DaVinci (thanks to your video of course). And the end result is so much better! I have been deciding if I should switch over from Adobe to DaVinci and this video makes the decision a little easier. Also the cost, free (or 300 bucks for a lifetime) vs adobes 600+ per year for buggy programs? Speaks for itself right there. I have a slower year next year too so it'll make the switch easier.

[@HimurraKenshi]

Great Video mate... from the rush i had two clips at white balance 3000 instead of 5500 i was able to match them for seconds....

[@grahamf695]

Useful video, thanks. Would you ever use auto white balance?

[@DmitryKoupriyanov]

Any trick to white balance if you have nothing white in the whole shot? Or then just have to balance the scopes by eye?

[@pianomandove]

Changed my entire life!

[@BeingJasonChong]

Hi Casey, really benefited a lot from your tutorials. Just wondering if you have any tips for working with footages shot underwater at scuba diving depths. Despite using a red filter (if that's even the right technical term for it) the footages are still very blue. Granted, some part of the light spectrum are physically lost and not arriving at the camera sensor! Is there a way around this with DaVinci?

[@martincjoergensen]

Great video - subscribred! Could you do a video specific for colorgrading underwater footage? I am struggling with this, since there is some specific challenges to this, since the lighting and colours change as you move deeper down the watercolumn when diving. Thanks for the great videoes!

[@johnjosephreed]

Thank you

[@eNeVeFamily]

I always have issues getting a nice color balance. This was a great video.

[@sandiegrace6026]

Wow!!! amazing How ever I still need help Not sure where to go on my remote to be able to do what you just did

[@DonClassico]

bruh, you make this look so freaking easy. Hopefully in a few months from now I'll be able to master DR. A newby here

[@Utilisateurpasvalide]

Great video, again. Why do you use the color wheels instead of the bars ? I find it way more easy to balance my rgb with bars..

[@JudyNepune]

where do I have to click to get to the coloring wheels?

[@dtll84]

what about matching whites in the curves?

[@steelgtr]

Nice!

[@marcorossi2182]

Does it make any difference to correctly set WB during shooting or fixing it in only post?

[@Verolinens]

Thanks for all the tips over the years. I have a question you can hopefully answer. I am shooting video on an overexposed white background. about 95% of the background comes in at 255, 255, 255. In one corners it drops down to about 240 ish. I have tried to adjust the white in levels, auto white balance, create a matte, changed gain and other things, but I can't get it right. What is real funny, when I auto white balance the RGB shows the background at 267, 267, 267 (didn't know there was a value higher than 255). Yet after I render the video, the white background comes in around 230 ish. Any thoughts - thanks in advance.

[@mikemiller5052]

Casey do you still have your color grading course? I don't see it on the web site.

[@Hundred100]

hi, now there is the color picker fr white and black point right? it wasnt there in the version you re using here or its not good?

[@walrusclimbing]

Damn, never used Parades before. Worked like a charm, thanks!

[@CaseyFaris]

Ahh yeah it makes a huge difference!

[@dennishumbla5431]

Finaly someone makes a video on this.. I tried what you did in the video but my video didn´t change at all. Dont know what I do wrong?

[@SteveMartinUSA]

I accidentally forgot to lock the exposure on a drone shot and the colors/white balance changed throughout a pan. The video is otherwise too good to throw away. Is there a way to balance the colors across the clip to stabilize the colors?

[@johndon7377]

Novice question can i just apply a luts instead of doing this?

[@ClipsCq]

cool tip... but can you show us how you would wb a clip without white in it? a few of us would like to know.

[@OscarHernandez-kk3rg]

Hi!! I’ve a problem with a video recorded with auto white balance and it changes from red to green tint … how could I make it contratante white balance in the whole scene? Cheers

[@KTSpeedruns]

I would have never thought about giving the image more contrast before taking out a color cast. From my photo editing experience, I'm used to color cast removal being the first step in almost every job.

[@aLgProduction]

I like.

[@jianzhizhang8333]

What camera was used for this footage? Sometimes fixing the white balance can be such a pain in the ass when it comes to some really low quality footage and a few times totally unfixable.

[@ultrabodyitalia]

ehy bro, u r a Phenomeno. THANKS.

[@Pallas_Capital]

how u do it if there is no white in the shot?

[@marcdraco2189]

Use a mid grey and balance that.

[@maleknajjar3726]

maaaaan thanks thanks thanks

[@Epicjib]

Do you have a workflow for Premier Pro CC 2017? Looking specifically for black balance adjustment and proper scopes for WB adjustment. Cheers

[@DFranco91]

Nice Casey but a much faster way of white balancing (if shooting raw): Go to the camera raw tab and where it says color temperature, just move that until your almost perfectly balanced and than you barely have to tweak out the wheels

[@CaseyFaris]

+Danny Franco yep its way easy if u shoot raw.

[@jonzmoviebar7580]

nice tut, however I don't use DaVinci I was curious about the last part where you use luma vs saturation curve and I was wondering if there's something similar for Premiere Pro? Subbed :)

[@easy_ease_83]

In Lumetri, there's a curves editor with LvS

[@chrisanson1368]

So what I would do here is create a power window over the area that I was using to WB and then using the Vector scope and Temperature and Tint bring everything to the center of the vector scope. One that is done I turn off the power window and the adjustment is made to the entire clip. Is there something that I am missing with my approach? BTW - really enjoy your videos! Now I just use the WB Tool in Version 14.

[@CaseyFaris]

Yeah that's a good way to go

[@standardtuning4guitars423]

Heres a tip. go to the cog wheel options in the video and select "playback speed = 0.5". You will then be able to see what he is doing clearly.

[@eventsvdeographytelceanmihai]

Maaannnn Jesus Christ bro! You save my time from color balance from verry much video 4hours video! You are a really LEGEND for me! I Love you man, thanks for the tutorial!

[@LoganMcNay]

I have a question! So when I grade my work and saturate the log footage I never usually know when I've gone too far. I often just shot gun it and do what I just think looks good but I wasn't sure if there were any good tips you had for being able to better know when TOO MUCH IS TOO MUCH

[@magpiemike100]

there's no rule, like much of the work done in grading; its up to your tastes--however a basic grade holds blacks and gain to some standards.

[@KevinMcLean]

I felt that when you said "tiparinos"

[@dixter1652]

is there a problem with the Auto White Balance picker... just wondering why not use it first and then if it works you are done... if not then get to work on the wheels

[@CaseyFaris]

You can definitely try it. Sometimes it works great!

[@matrixate]

This works great when you have an adequately lit shot. The problem I have is when the shot was very poorly lit. Also, I'm working with h.264 files. I can't wait to get a camera that can shoot Log.

[@CaseyFaris]

If it's poorly lit... you're gonna have to do some major noise reduction most likely.

[@kingshuk1990]

love your last dialouge, " My mama Call me"
