White Balance - Color Correction for Broadcast!

Today we show you how we do white balance and color correction in a multi camera broadcast production before we go live. Why is it so important? And how do you do it in postproduction?

This is the greatest crash course for someone in corporate AV. Thank you so much for this video and I know this video doesn’t even scratch the surface but it’s perfect for me who just has to make one or two cameras look good for a talking head on a lectern for one day.

As a jib and steadicam operator I valued this color and exposure info a lot. Usually when I was learning how to shade I just adjusted exposure to what my eye likes, but knowing the proper way to adjust black balance and white balance with scope and waveform charts is definitely going to help me get a better quality image from a moving shot if I don't have another person to adjust these settings. Thank you.

Thank you for this video

[@josephcharette7453]

Very useful and hard to find information about how to grade in a broadcast environment! Thank you so much! One small thing: At 15:38, when you talk about where the face values should be on the waveform, you're circling the part of the waveform that corresponds to the wall and not the part that corresponds to the face (the face is more on the right side of the waveform)

[@soldoutmedia8025]

Oh you are totally right! I totally missed that - I think it might have happened in the edit. But yes her face is totally to the right! Thanks for that!

[@RollFocus]

Really excellent breakdown of colour correction for those working in the live space!

[@soldoutmedia8025]

Thanks so much!

[@bradbindson9922]

Thanks for this great video. I just finished shading a 4 camera show, and your video really helped me to get colors right.

[@soldoutmedia8025]

Oh awesome! So glad we could help! What type of camera system where you using if you don’t mind me asking?

[@lightingvideotv]

using a DSC chart as a reference source to calibrate your cameras is recommended

Hi do you an information how to use anti aliasing filter in sony camera studio?

[@KG_KG]

I’m having a horrible time getting good color on faces with the Sony 4300. I keep fight between a red and greed pic. Is the white shading off? Could this be an IRE issue. We shoot with candescent bulbs. Help! We shoot at 2600 kelvin😅

[@soldoutmedia8025]

Hello Just to be sure, don’t touch the green knob - that is the tint. The kelvin is quite yellow, it could be giving you a part in the problem. Are you setting your black balance first? Are the faces well lit? Have you played with your gamma levels? All together they can help.

[@KG_KG]

@@soldoutmedia8025 I don’t touch the green. I use gamma 4. I tighten up the blacks. We shoot at 14 foot candles, and have a producer that always wants it darker. The color temp goes down to 2450 some times. But even if I adjust the faces always look that yellowing issue. We are going for that warm look not a yellow look. Ugh.

[@KG_KG]

@@soldoutmedia8025 also thanks for the suggestions. Our chip chart also tops at 60 units to hit 14 ft candles and 2600 k. If I push it higher the picture looks hot on set. I’m so confused.
