Hey, thanks!! ❤️

Great tutorial and breakdown man, good work.

Loved it! I went right out and bought both the SpyderCHECKR and MBR 3

This video was awesome to watch. Very informative. I have a Spiderchecher24 card but have only been using the other side of it to adjust the white balance in the camera. Now after watching this video I could also do this at post edit. I can be more precise at colour correcting my videos. Colour Grading will be the next thing I want to experiment with and see what looks I can come up with. You have great content on here which I'm enjoying. Keep it up.

This is the right way, not playing around with vectorscope omg. Love it thanks

Awesome video. I bought the Spydercheckr24 and had no clue how to use it with Premiere, so this was a massive help.

thank you, I've been looking for a workaround for a few years now and never really ujnderstood these cards. This is a game changer for me. Thanks MAN!!!

Awesome tips! Definitely needed this

Great video, very helpful, well thought out

Great video! Super useful tips and really well presented and put together. Colour cards are always appreciated when they are in footage clients send over to me and I wish it was more commonly done.

Solid informative and to the point Thanks 😊

Thanks James, I just found your channel. Great video!

Wow! That was helpful! Thanks boss💯

I bought that exact card several months back as I've been planning on getting back into content creation. The main reason is I'm hoping it will make it so if I do ever need to use 2 cameras, I have a shot at making them look fairly similar fairly easily. I just searched hoping to find how to use the card in adobe since I'm moving to premiere from vegas pro, and this video was thankfully the first to pop up. Thanks for sharing about this tool!

This is awesome, good job

Thank you a world .. This is just brilliant and very helpful ... Cheers

Your content is great. Keep going!

FINALLY someone in another video said what that card was called. Searched term, found ya, watched, and subscribed. Thanks!

Excellent video. Thinking about grabbing this one due to the price. Just need to determine if what you get out of the more expensive version or even the Xrite is significant enough to justify the additional cost.

You know I didn't think color correction was so important but now I know differently

@@DavidGriffin Yeah, the algorithm is a monster. It's hard. But I do think that there's some magic that happens as you continue to put out videos. The trickle becomes a stream, and starts to grow.

Just keep at it, keep learning, keep doing the best you can, and eventually the algorithm will stop fighting you and start working with you!

Nice simple but informative explanations. Just bought a course on "Master Class" color correction and the guy did not even explain what is color correction. It is suppose to be a beginner course... Keep it up. Next time i will just watch you.

Even if English is not my native language I could perfectly understood your wonderful video and this make me take the decision to buy this MBR plugin for use in Premiere Pro. For me color grading is a nightmare (my limit) but start a color grading after a right and "perfect" color correction is - in my opinion - the easier and may be best way to start... Thank you again for your video! PD a question, in your opinion if I have to give to a video a special mood, for example a (soft) thriller or (light/soft) horror look, without use a mask for the skin tone (!), would you suggest to: make correct white balance, then color correction with MBR, make some soft color grading (like reduce saturation and make the blacks more deep) and only then, as last point, change the white balance in premiere pro to give a blue-tone (scary tone)? or in your opinion in case of special look (like horror or scary or the opposite like very romantic in a Venetian Gondola, etc) you would not use MBR and work directly changing white balance (in camera or in post) or/and applying for example a Phantom LUT or other kind of LUT without use MBR? considering that with these special look the accuracy of colors is not important? Thanks again and sorry for my English that is not perfect...

Hi, don't know if you reed comments, but I find your channel and videos very interesting and easy to watch. I am going trough your videos, and watching them one by one (I never done that on any channel). So I hope you keep up with good work and looking forward for new videos!!

That was really helpful thanks. I have the spyder X photo kit and after calibrating both of my existing panels. I've noticed they only reach 94% sRGB. And 70% DCI P3. I'm looking for a 10 bit panel (8bit +frc) either 24" to 27" is there anything more affordable than the Benq 2700U suited for photography and video editing? Do you have any monitor display reviews on your channel?

Thank You...

Nice tip bro I’m using now and it gives me lot of time extra to not edit

Oh men this is nice. Do they have for final cut?

Great video! Glad I found it. Like many I've had that color chart sitting on a shelf for a year. What are your thoughts on the LOG profile option in the program? Have you used it? I'm pretty new to LUTs so I'd like to hear your take. -Also, did you buy the full version or does the trial run out? Thanks again!

@RealJamesArcher

4 жыл бұрын

Good questions! I'm still on the trial version, though I'm tempted to buy the full version to be able to download the LUT, which could simplify things since the MBR plugin itself can be a little resource intensive. I usually do shoot in LOG, HLG, or similar, and it does a great job of bringing those flat profiles back to normal.

Oh James!! You saved me!!! I have the Spydercheckr 24 for more than 1 year now. And now I almost bought the Xrite, because there is a different tool for that in adobe and I couldnt figure out how to use the spyder in adobe easily.

Could I use this one lut I created in this process, to put over all of my camera footage? Bc the color science and stuff is always "the same"?

Ok! How do you color correct for video shots? Like video's taking while fishing from a kayak? Camera mounted to a cap.

If you are shooting in Slog3 and want to use the MBR Color Corrector 3 you have to select the "Transfer function color space" option on the menu. In my case I select "Sony Slog3 - Sgamut3.Cine" as input, and "Rec.709" as output. This way I get the basic color correction from slog3 to Rec.709 but also the color correction of SpyderCHECKR

How effective is Premiere at color matching different cameras? I have tried it with Resolve plus the X-Rite Colorchecker Classic and the results were not very consistent, not even manual tweaking would do the job (I could match the primary and secondary colors easily, but never the tertiary ones).

do we need to buy the plug in or it's part of the package for the data color ?

Does anybody knows if the "Spyder Checkr Photo" (small and white) can also be use with the MBR Color correction in Premiere Pro ?

hi there, could you kindly share with us the link to download the software for premiere pro, we've bought the card but inside no instructions at all 😅

Hi, Do you know the hexa color code from spyder?

Is it ok fot moving camera videography in event ?

Do they have anything for the focus? Asking for a friend.

I’ve been trying MBR using Sony slog3 as the input and Rec 709 as the output. For whatever reason it just isn’t working - colors are way off. I’ll keep playing with it though - this seems like the kind of tool that should be built into every photo - video editing program.

Hi Mr, I shoot all of my videos outdoor, should I use this card? I'm very confused, from 🇮🇳

Hi, I have a question. If I have several vacation videos recorded every few minutes, must I put a colorchecker in front of the camera every time before the next recording? Or just one time and MBR will transfer the settings to the next clip?

@RealJamesArcher

3 жыл бұрын

Good question! MBR will typically only affect the clip it's added to. However you can create an adjustment layer above all the clips and add MBR to that. That's what I do for most of my videos.

How do I install the software to be a plugin???

MBR color correction3 does not seem to work on Premiere 2024.3

infortully this magic doesn't with another premiere languages!

If I use log, do I apply the LUT first or the color correction first?

@RealJamesArcher

3 жыл бұрын

Actually, it's been my experience that this will basically convert the log and do the color correction at the same time. I usually shoot HLG3, and all I do is apply MBR Color Correction (based on the color chart) and then tweak the Lumetri Color to my preferences. I do have a technical LUT for HLG3, but I find just using MBR actual gives me better results.

So the plug-ins not free?

Cool, does it work with log-footage too?

Maybe my question is wrong in general, but I don't understand why use a color profile and color correct after? What I'm asking is, color grading to a particular extent, let's say as in "Green Book", kills all the correction so why trying to correct before color grading?

@RealJamesArcher

4 жыл бұрын

Good question! In some cases, you maybe dealing with footage that has a lot of variation because of how/where/when it was shot. Im these situations, it can make sense to restore it to a common baseline before applying a creative treatment. In other cases, the particular profile or camera you're using might simply.have some uniqueness that's not easily corrected by simple temperature and curve tweaks. I have an action camera, for example, where the flat color profile always looks weird when I try to grade it. Basically, it just gives you a solid starting point to begin grading. now there are definitely cases where you can get away with not doing this. For example, there are some big photography and video KZreadrs who jump straight into grading and are comfortable doing that. It's not quite the same, but they're comfortable with the trade offs of that approach in order to gain back some efficiency.

Thank you for great video! Do you get any software free with this chekker? I think you should get software free with SpyderCHECKR 24 or SpyderCHECKR 48, but not with cheap Replacement Card. Or I can buy Replacement Card and get all profits?

I bought Spyder Checker 24 and the result wasn't appealing. I'm getting better colors from Canon Log3 LUT compared to real life scene.

Very interesting but results are controversy (in general). All those people logically should do it with camera manufacturers to make camera calibration on the fly (inside cameras)

Couldn't you just use a calibrated checker on a decent HDR cellphone screen? Maybe it will not be identical but close enough.

@@RealJamesArcher , I wonder if I could get closer enough if I took a color checker, took a picture of it and then calibrated it in Procreate or similar and reference them side by side. This is also making sure adaptive screen brightness is disabled and maybe throwing a slightly matte screen protector on it to reduce glare/gradient.
