The Handy Chart That Gets Colors Right On The Money!

The color chart that gets perfect colors in the grade!
www.colorgradingcentral.com/h...
What would it be like if you didn't know much about color correction but with one little chart you could get perfect looking colors?
Do it the manual way as shown in the video or the auto way with cinemagrade.com
Though this isn't a sponsored Xrite video I remember being at an event 5 years ago and being approached by Xrite.
They already had a lot of success with ColorChecker charts in the photography and printing space and were looking to take their knowledge and expertise in color to the video space.
Low and behold the Xrite ColorChecker out comes the chart made specifically for video. What is really cool about this little gadget is even if you don't feel confident with color correction... just bring this little guy on set and it'll help you get the right colors in post!
I was completely mesmerized by accurate it can get the colors in your scene either doing it the manual way or using the Cinema Grade plugin to automatically do it for you.
So if you're looking to take out the guesswork on color correction, getting correct looking skin tones, cameras that match then look no further than to this handy solution.

[@DarkwingproductionsNet]

I'm impressed with how good the drastic color grade/change looks, but I've never been able to manipulate my DSLR footage like this without the image breaking. What kind of file are you working with here?

[@constantinosschinas4503]

if your image breaks is due to A. high compression, use the highest bit rate available in your camera B. bad quality camera with aggressive Log profiles. If you have a mediocre camera, it is better to fiddle with profile settings within the camera (contrast, colour, shadows etc. or create a profile in windows in the canon case) that is close to the desires result. C. render/preview in 32bit color. It can make huge difference especially with multiple effects applied.

[@DarkwingproductionsNet]

@@constantinosschinas4503 Yes I understand that, but I still want to know what camera and codec you used.

[@bulcub]

[@larrycameron859]

[@dexmcluskey4832]

Nice. I get disappointing results using a passport with davinci’s presets - perhaps because I use Fuji cameras so don’t know which source gamma to choose, so a walkthru of how to manually fix WB, exposure etc in Davinci using an x-rite passport video would be awesome. Really appreciate your skills!

[@colorgradingcentral]

Thanks so much Dex!

[@binodlamatamang2049]

I got the xrite color chart video and tried the cinema grade. I did use the color chart function, but it is so bad that when i drag the square box the inside circle get bigger than the color checker passport video. It definitely need another update and fix the problem asap. I would suggest the circle size remain same or slightly bigger.

[@kupalmalnz1550]

Nic bro

[@Cigarprop]

I have the spydercheckr 24 which I have been messing around with in DaVinci Resolve. Can I apply one of your Luts after using a color correction chart?

[@colorgradingcentral]

Yes you can apply the LUTs after any base correction is applied, whether that be via a LUT, color chart or manual correction.

[@GlennUpgraded]

What camera are you using? I really like the look of your video.

[@colorgradingcentral]

Thanks man. Blackmagic Ursa Mini with my own custom color pipeline to get Alexa look.

[@constantinosschinas4503]

*"MBR Color Corrector 3" plugin is the Davinci equivalent x-rite tool for Premiere Pro+Ae."* You can give it a go and why not present it in a tutorial. Seems very promising.

[@VAN_production.mp4]

I have only one problem, the color chart only supports Xrite, which has organised colors in a different way than other color charts... do you know if there are possibilities for other charts or if you could organise colors differently?

[@AlexAbsolute]

for windows you can do the auto mode in "3D LUT creator " as far as I know

@@colorgradingcentral awesome thanks man ☺️☺️☺️

[@WTE28]

how come It won't let me lock on a point of the video to use the slider, every time I try all it does is just apply it to the whole image?

[@giraffevideoproduction8045]

In some cases it would help, in some it wouldn't. The biggest drawback is cost. The chart is expensive. But it would definitely help for interviews. Where it wouldn't help is when doing handheld and/or changing lenses often during a shoot that features action shots and where I have to constantly move around and change camera settings.

[@alberroproducciones1781]

I've been using the color checker passport video for around 2 years and in normal conditions everything is fine but I just don't know how to use it when for example in a live music show, the lights are warm and I want that warm feel in my picture. I don't want the white being completly white but still want to match multiple cameras. Thanks!

[@twinpalmsvideo2741]

There is a "warm white balance reference system" called warm cards to adjust the camera white balance. This may help

[@telier101]

I am not an expert, but can‘t you just start from a neutral ground, match all cameras and then add the grade you like?

[@colorgradingcentral]

@@telier101 That's correct. The chart will help you to balance multiple cameras to get a good starting point. From there you can add a creative look uniformly to all clips.

[@ThePOVLife]

How would you make it practical to apply this when doing a run and gun style shooting? Does it become too much?

[@colorgradingcentral]

Charts are really more for controlled environments i.e. studio setups, etc.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

I think I'm going to end up binge watching your videos, but £120 for a colour checker. Yikes, are there any more affordable versions out there?

[@evenaicantfigurethisout]

i have the x-rite chart for photo. can i still use it for video? these things are super expensive so i can't get another one specifically for video.

[@colorgradingcentral]

Sorry only the video charts are supported.

Something happened in the newest update on DaVinci Resolve. I always use the spidyrcheckr 24 color chart and I've always had amazing results with DaVinci. Now when I hit color match, everything is a deep red color. It's unusable. Would you have any idea why? I'm very new at color grading/correction and I'm also very new to DaVinci Resolve. As for the source, and the target color space, I've always just left them on whatever the default setting is. I'm not sure how to find my source gamma or what the target color space should be. I shoot on a Cannon T7i Rebel. Also, I want to sign up for color grading add on for DaVinci Resolve, but I've read a few things online that you need an Apple product to use your add-on with DaVinci. Will it work with DaVinci Resolve using Windows 10?

Does Cinema Grade also feature the datacolor spydercheckr 24?

[@colorgradingcentral]

No sorry Xrite only.

[@Prolike136]

Ok Any implementation plans for that in the future?

[@colorgradingcentral]

No current plans.

[@ImaginetMedia]

in FCPX there is no need to mask the single row of swatches to use the vectorscope. Simply mask the entire chart. That is why it is designed this way.

[@colorgradingcentral]

There are other color swatches that would interfere in the vectorscope.

[@ImaginetMedia]

No they would not. The RGBCMY swatch row clearly are shown in the scope when cropped showing the ENTIRE chart. Have you even tried it?. Do you actually think X-Rite designed a the VIDEO checker so you had to crop in on one row? Those other swatches are greyscale and skin tones. Gray scale all map to the center of the scope and skin tones map to the skin tone line. This is the VIDEO checker, not the regular colour checker used for photography. That one you would have to crop in on. If you are not cropping on the whole chart, and using that information, you are missing the whole point. Check out the demos from top KZbinrs,. It will take you ten seconds to learn how to use it correctly.

[@AlexEgiyan]

😃👍👍👍

[@evenaicantfigurethisout]

how come you didn't show the manual way for davinci resolve? only premiere and FCP

[@colorgradingcentral]

Because Resolve has chart auto-balance features and the others do not.

[@clintclarkson1325]

So do you recommend just using the chart auto balance instead of doing it manually from the color chart in Resolve?

A DP worth his money will get exposure and WB right in camera, notice how her lips look desaturated and lifeless even after the correction. And in narrative world, your actor often won't or shouldn't sit at 70 IRE. I would say if you have to match different cameras, this is a great tool. If not, just get a cheaper grey card and start to learn your craft properly.
