I feel like a primary school pupil again who adores his teacher. I haven't listened so attentively in a long time ♥

OMG Thank you so much! I have been looking everywhere for a video that talks about colour checker and log footage! There are one million videos about grading footage and none are using colour checkers as part of the flow! Thanks again, SUB for life!

[geoffos]

Excellent as always. Glad to see your subs count climbing!

[UnbleachedMuslin]

Guys you are like reading my mind... I swear I watched countless of videos on the topics you are posting, but always find something Exceptionally useful here!

[cosmonaut]

Thank you so much! I also learned that you can position the speed editor that way! Will test it out!😌👏

I've watched several of these color checker tutorials over the past two years (after noticing that they can have major differences in the workflow) and this is the first and only one that made me confidently say "NOW I get it." Thank you!

[TerenceKearns]

Brilliant. I bought a color checker passport years ago for stills. I had success with it in lightroom but it was cumbersome to use. I tried it in video and didn't get the accurate matching that I imagined I would get so I essentially stopped using it. This video showed me that I can't really expect that. That's great, I feel like less of an idiot now. So thanks :D

[RandumbTech]

I was looking for this EXACT video - thank you!!

[keyspacemedia]

This is the best video on the topic on YouTube! I appreciate the straight to the point explanation of each component and the exposure difference!

Only thing that I personally missed was a real life example, where you are color matching two different angles with the colour match tool as well, (as I’m having a hard time with that 😅)

But your video clarified some questions I had, thank you so much for that! Best channel ever!

[garyheald]

Thank you for such a brilliant video. I have been using the color passport Classic II for stills photography for a while. I recently started shooting video and now have the ‘passport video’. I find this very useful when I am using my Fuji x-T4, GoPro and dji-drone on the same shoot. You have some brilliant tips during this video. Thank you.

[kamishimoproductions]

Thanks for this tutorial. I surely have learnt some new things in this tutorial. I have also subbed to your channel. Again thanks for your help.

Hello, in the case of a full project.
When we cg after the edit and a color chart has been used on each light changes or camera adjustement how are you processing ?
When I cg I generally create a filtered view to apply the same balance on the multiple cuts of one take. Should I do the same way ?
Take the color chart node on cam A and apply to the scene with the same lighting/camera set up. (and so on for cam B)

[Gedaly]

Great tutorial! I need to remember to shoot color charts more often 😅

[wxexw]

Seriously yes. I spent most of my week matching Canon HG70 consumer camcorder to Canon 90d. (yeah, low end I know, it's a volunteer gig).

[JimRobinson-colors]

We kind of use color charts as a safety net when things go wonky. By then bringing up the color charts, we can figure which camera is giving us the grief. I have never relied on the charts for actually doing any actual color corrections because of all the variables involved that can throw it off - i.e. lighting ( the most common problem ) and surprisingly enough swatches being out through fading or light reflections etc.
And I have to say that it might be a good idea if people are shooting these charts to do what you guys did and take them side by side from the same angle. I'm afraid that a lot of charts that I get - they set up the two angles and then just turn the chart - so both charts are under different lighting conditions. So the actual photography can make it harder to match using Resolve charts - or easier. But great to have when cameras aren't set up correctly.
Good video for shooters to see though.
