This is insanely useful, especially as someone who’s pretty new to color work. Thank you!!

If there's one thing I hate as a DP it's when a newbie colorist re-white balances my footage in post. I balanced it on set the way I wanted to see it in the footage. I can't tell you how many times a colorist has shown their first pass to me and the director and we're like, WTF HAPPENED TO ALL THE CHARACTER WE SAW IN THE DAILIES?! Except I know damn well wtf happened. They RE-whitebalanced everything. Point: colorists should work with the DP, or AT LEAST see a lookbook, before they waste a bunch of time white balancing everything.

Damn right!

I cannot tell you how appreciative I am for this dude, you quite sincerely saved my video. The before and after using Offset to get the white balanced is hilarious to me. How did I get it so wrong before?? Seriously, thank you so much.

Outstanding tutorial, I'm going to use the offset wheel for setting the white balance from now on! Engaging, informative, great video and music editing too, love this video.

I love the result and the use of the vectorscope! Thanks you!

Outstanding pace and editing for this common topic! I enjoyed it almost as a work of art rather than just a turtorial. Thank you and congratulations!

This is actually incredibly useful for colorblind people, thank you so much

insanely useful. simple and an easy add to my workflow. Big thankyou!!!!

This tutorial is amazing and you are really good at teaching !! great job sir !

NOTE: Please discuss any changes with director & DP before white balancing. My DP always tries to get close to the final look in camera, so if the white balance is "off" it was for a reason.

Once again, short and sweet but phenomenally informative video! You guys are amazing!

What an amazing tutorial. I click off most on these KZread videos in 3-5 seconds but now Im going through all of yours. Cheers!

Never thought about using the offset wheel to white balance. I normally just hit the C/W & G/M slider till I get my white balance fixed.

This is great for making a shot look good and balanced, but this might become redundant as soon as any level of artistic expression is introduced.

Is there any technical benefit to setting white balance this way over just using the Temp and Tint dials?

Interesting...I must be really lazy or noob as I typically use the dropper for WB. Gonna compare doing that against this method though and see the differences.

@Leprutz

Жыл бұрын

I think the dropper does a pretty good job. But in most cases I don,t even need to make any white balamce cause I already do it when i,m shooting the footagage.

unexpected video but very helpful

💯Agreed. Thats why we should never use auto wb, because if we use auto white balance that will take longer time when we do color corrections

could you teach us how to balance clips before coloring

Whats different between pipette in WB and offset when we try fix the WB?

Is it possible to have the Vectorscope on photo editing softwares?

While this scope might help, so too will the temperature wheel, which is easier to get right. I feel using the colour wheel for the overall offset is easier to get wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

niceeeee

great

So, in order to achieve any look first it's necessary to WB the shot?

which monitor you are using ?

I have a question though, what about the automatic white balance? DR does a pretty good job on fixing it automatically though. Or not?

whats the name of the song you used in the background at 00:52

How did you get all the color grading tools in the same spot?

Will I be able to use it with newest ios version??

Talking about precision, is there any option to use a 50% gray reference in the shot to balance colors like a pixel perfect camera color correction card, color chart board, etc; instead of eye balling everything?

@ehfilmandvideo

Жыл бұрын

You can bring a gray card when shooting, or use false color on a monitor, but your best bet in post, depending what information you have access to would be qualifying or masking something specific in your image like skin tone to see if its sitting correctly in your waveform and correct according to that

@@ehfilmandvideo Thanks.

Another Tip: If you have something in your shot, that should be white, isolate it on the first note via a mask. The change your scope to parade and use the color channels in the offset control knob seperately to bring each channel at the same level. Just do that with the offset. That should bring the white more closely to a neutral white.

This was super helpful! As you were adjusting, you seemed to just know where the "center" of the vector scope was. How do you know when it's balanced? Isn't it true that some vector scopes may have colors that stretch far out, but aren't relevant to the white balance?

My guess is that he’s eyeballing it and making sure the “center of mass” is aligned with the center. If something stretches out, I’d treat that as an outlier and wouldn’t factor it into my balance

Thanks for the pill! What about using RGB mixer for WB?

@ColoristFoundry

Жыл бұрын

Can definitely work. But RGB mixer might be an a complicated approach. ESP since a lot of colorists use it to enter Color matrix values. Even then the main goal is trying not to touch the achromatic axis of Color cube. So what you’re trying to achieve is the opposite of it. Which might a bit tricky, but doable I would say.

it would be nice to have a video about premiere pro

how about using the pen and select white in the footage

How do I do it on premier? 😅

Pls clarify my doubt sir does it have tabla soft????? Pls tell sir

Why not use temp and tint if it was made specifically for white balancing?

This is great but how would I do this in final cut? Lol

Wow, I was always too intimidated to try anything in the Color tab and this really made a huge difference in my current project. Thanks a lot!!

How would you even get the idea to use the gain tool as white balance??? To add to that, why don't you use the proper WB tools (Temp and Tint) for WB?

basically, any way you change color balance will be different it its own way. Its definitey fater to balance this way as I personally just use ofset wheel on panel, and not two separate knobs But its not the only way, I think there is at least 5 ways to change color balance in resolve, and you can use any you like and that will give you best result in the fastest way

Normally you should use the eye picker next to it and have a middle grey card on the day of the shoot and click on it but with these fast pace shoot these days, you may find yourself with no time having to hold a grey card etc...but with the print aka offset wheel, you can have an easier representation of the scene over than using waveforms.

Still comes secondary if the scene was shot in out of control lighting. There must be emphasis on setting an overall neutral tonality in each major hue, before there is an emphasis on skin.

But after that you should know how to make shots blue, orange, green again because neutral image is pretty dull most of the time)

Set the white balance manually in camera then you do not have to spend any time in post white balancing. For calibration you can use a white slate, color chart, and / or a calibrated color temperature meter. The more precisely you shoot the less time you have to spend grading and editing.

@fightofdestiny

Sometimes you are in a situation where you forget to change the whitebalance and recognize in the post, that the white balance is set wrong during shooting. And even if you have set the white balance via the Kelvin settings correctly some cameras have a greenish or magenta tint...

If the cameraman brings a white sheet of paper he can white balance on the spot. Done!

That will forever be a problem

Turn on the skin tone line and bring the skin onto the line. It’s often the only reference you have in a shot.

That is not a linear operation… it won’t always balance the blacks. it is best to balance by using offset, it’s the simplest operation and moves the whole image.

ur a fcking legend dude honestly

Best way to fix white balance would be to linearize, convert to cone space and then set the white balance and convert back. Sadly that requires knowledge of the gamma/color space the footage was shot in and cameras apply all their own little profiles to make the image look different. Also I doubt this method is even possible in Resolve which always just does magic stuff under the hood with zero explanation.
