hahaha that made me laugh.. thanks Matteo :D
Yes!!! This is so helpful. I might need to watch this 10x but the whole process is a game changer for me.
Jamie, this is- hands down- the best, easiest video I’ve seen to handle what I personally think are the two most important things to get nailed for making UA-cam videos- exposure and color grading. Love this tutorial! It is immediately going to go into my workflow.
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. :D
I’ve watched hundreds of tutorials on color matching and exposure, but this video is a game-changer! Your unique techniques and clear explanations finally made it all click for me. Thanks for elevating my video editing skills to perfection! 🙌
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you! I believe this was the best instruction of how to use the Video Passport Color Checker tool that I've seen. I will want to share this video with others who are getting started.
Wow thanks Keith I really appreciate that! Thanks for your support!
Wow I’m fascinated by that, looks like the search for a perfect looking image has come to an end
This is one of the best videos I've ran across. Not only for the Color Checker but the use of each of the functions in Color section of Davinci! Thank you for keeping it simple and straight to the point. This will be video I'll be referencing again and again until I become an expert in Davinci! You sir have a new sub!
Thanks man I really appreciate that… cheers! 🙏🏼
Excellent video, especially for a beginner who doesn't necessarily understand color. The directions and the step-by-step are extremely helpful thank you so much for doing this.
Glad you enjoyed it! I tried to be as clear as possible so Its nice to hear that.
This was LEGIT so, SO great to follow. Easy instructions. Had my footage looking PERFECT. THANK YOU.
This is pure gold. Almost nobody at the semi-professional level uses a color checker so far as I've seen so I expect this to take my videos up a notch.
I imagine you would use your checker sans any colored light on your subject.
True, I agree with you
Cool! I think that’s the first time I’ve watch any colour tab vid and had a fair idea what is being said! Good job Jamie! Now to add a Colour Matching thing to the shopping list...
hahaha yeaaaa
This is THE video I was looking for. Thanks a million for making this tutorial. Now I am buying a colorchecker
Hope you used my link 😉
Very helpful and straight to the point, no rifraf - subbed and thank you for sharing
Nice demo of using the color checker to color correct. I found it to be very easy to follow. Thanks for creating and sharing this video.
Glad it was helpful!
I can't believe it took me this long to find this! I can't afford the passport but davinci supports a cheaper card that costs alot less. Thanks very much for teaching me this!
Finally! A proper video explaining how to use this. Thanks!
You're welcome!
I realize this is 3 years old but it really is timeless! Absolutely great tutorial Jamie!!
Thank you so much!!
I watch this video all the time just to refresh myself on how to use the color card. Some of the controls have changed but this is my go to. Thanks Jamie!
So glad to hear that. Yea I’ll need to remake this for 2024! Much luv 🙏🏼
@@JamieFenn One thing I missed when watching your video was the need to turn off the pen tool in the power window after using the six primary colors and the boxes in the vector scope! I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong! Also, using Ctrl and the scroll wheel to move the clip up and down in the preview window! I won't forget!
This is an absolutely brilliant video. Thanks to you, I finally understand how to use the card. Thanks so much for putting so much of your time and expertise into the video for us. I’ve subscribed and will watch a lot of your videos.
You are so welcome!
Thanks a lot... This video have changed my way to correct colors in DR, from probably an inefficient way* to a much better and less complicated one. Understanding is in my opinion much more important than just know how to do it. Many UA-camrs are so warried that there videos will be to long. To me it´s much more important that we that want to learn really does so. Please: continue make videos the way you did in this one: Where you in the first room have focus on our learning, not just want to view how brilliant and fast you are in correction and grading.
* I've been fiddeling up and down with the W,R,G and B underneath the wheels
Wow this is cool. Awesome review Jamie. Loved and subbed from Canada.
Awesome! Thank you and welcome to the channel 🙏🏼
This is so clear and concise It touched on every little thing I was looking for. Most especially the last bit about the redness in the skin, which is an issue I ran into recently but didn't know how to correct. thanks bro
So glad you found this helpful!
This was really an excellent, to the point video, thank you
Wow ... huge colorimetry course under DaVinci Resolve ... Huge.
A huge thank you for this great tutorial !!!
Glad it was helpful!
Well I had no idea about all of this so thank you for a brilliant and clear video. I’ve been struggling with skin tones and white balance for months as a novice but this gives me confidence in getting it bang on !!! Thank you
You’re so welcome Paul! 🙏🏼
This is the best tutorial I've seen! Thank you so much for this!
You're very welcome!
Jamie, that was a really good video! Easy to understand bro. I appreciate you on this. Mad skills and knowledge is what you impart and give. Thank you!
I appreciate that!
Thank you! Seriously this was a huge help!
Beautiful! Something I have been wanting to learn. More involved than I thought. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Great Video! I was looking for this exact video. Your previous video about the X-rite CC passport was excellent, also. This one was more in-depth. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thanks for watching both! I wanted to create a more detailed video explaining how and why I use it. And also the things I've learned over the years.
The thing about using 2x zoom and saturation with the color tuning in the vectorscope part of the video
along with the skin tones part
really added to your last tutorial :thumbs_up:, NICE.
Yea there was a few things that I needed to clarify with this video and that was one of them!
Great video - as always. Much appreciate this, helps me alot.
I discovered one thing I want to share here: In the section where you set the exposure-node by using the waveform scope on the three color chips. DaVinci offers a little helper, matching the red,green and blue channels much easier. You have set up the wand for the three color chips (white grey, black) and eyeball the channels with the waveform-scope. This is sometimes difficult. Now, to see it easier which channel is off, hover the mouse over the three chips. In the scope window a circle appears. In real, there are three circles - red, green and blue. Now we can see better, which color is off. High or low. If all color channels match perfectly, there will be only one cyan circle. Give it a try, for me, it makes it easier to see in which direction I have to corrects the colors.
Thanks again for your work - stay creative.
Interesting! But I did not understand how to do it?
Even more detail from the other. TY. Excellent
Thanks for doing this! Very useful!
wow some awesome tips in here!
This was the best video I have watched on Color Correction. I am pumped to use this on my next podcast
Awesome! Thank you!
Me too 👍
This is SOOO helpful.
Thanks for making this video. Very interesting.
I’ve been doing this manually by eye with … variable results: I didn’t know Xrite was even a thing in DVR. Just bought Color Checker Passport for my next project. Thank you so much!
Glad I could help!
so awesome. Ive had the passport for years but never really integrated it in full colour grading.
This was so informative and easy to follow. These aren't even covered in the color correction book that blackmagic make so thank you very much. You should do more Color grading tutorials.
You are so welcome!
Great tutorial, thanks!
You''re so welcome!
Very easy to follow. Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Great vid, mate, simplified and to the point, cheers for that :)
No problem 👍
This video is way better than the first one you did. Thanks.
Yea that first video definitely needed an update! Needed to go into detail about a few things for sure. Thanks for watching and the feedback!
I had to subscribe after watching this video... well done and Thanks ...Keep up the good work.
Awesome, thank you!
@Jamie, that was awesome. Simple, clear and very useful tut! Thank you very very much. (goes to amazon to get the color checker, sigh...)
Awesome, thank you Im glad you thought so. Like I said I made a video on this a while ago but I felt like it was lacking. haha Its a great purchase. :D
Great Video, I don't see how any one would go wrong using your procedure of shooting and processing the color checker..... Ill be using this from now on...
After about a year of using it this is the best method I came across. Glad you found this helpful!
Outstanding video !!!
Glad you liked it!
Great lesson Jamie! Thx
My pleasure!
Wow Jamie i just got into creating cooking videos on UA-cam and I couldn't figure out why I was looking such pig-colored.
There are a few videos every other year that you look back at with warmth and think "WoW, that was really something else".
This is one of them.
Glad I could help!
This is outstanding! SOOOO Helpful. Thank you!!!! :)
You are so welcome!
Very cool!
Awesome job.
Thank you! Cheers!
superb tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
Very well done. This should be the premiere video the pops up for the people that purchased the XRite Color Checker. Hell, maybe Xrite could toss a link in the box that directs people to this video :D
Ha it’s funny you say that because when I made this I was thinking “why the hell do they not have a detailed video to show you exactly how to use it. Or even a step by step manual..” but I really appreciate it and maybe one day they will see it and direct people towards it. Cheers man
Thanks a lot for a great video.
So nice of you much appreciated!
Thank Jamie. Always finding the Nugget tools in resolve.
Youre welcome! :D
@@JamieFenn Shameful plug: Created with the latest Resolve DNX HQ 444. It will take yt an hour to process the 4K file. Its only in SD for the next hour. These are my latest Sunburst files.

This is really helpful and looks great! But I have a question: I've been taught that adjusting exposure first is best practice before touching colors, mainly because the colors misalign when you adjust exposure afterwards. While watching the node chart build, I was wondering if it could have been finished in fewer nodes if exposure was checked first. My question is, do you feel like that ever stalls out your process in Davinci? Thanks!
This is fantastic. Cheers!
Thank you! Cheers!
very helpfull thank you
You're welcome!
Great video thanks a lot. Where can I find which color checkers are supported in Davinci outer than in Davinci?
I love this video. Different ways to improve the colors. And I still wonder, why the color checker is not enough to restore neutral colors? Due to possible light glares or noise? I would expect that at least it wouldn't be necessary to adjust white balance on the gray card. If I were producer of the color checker I would also add those white/gray/black stripes to the color matrix in Davinci Resolve. And I also wonder: Should I give up setting LUT on the clip itself and define source/target in color checker or set the LUT on the clip and set source/target to REC 709 in the tool?
Excellent video! What would a simple node tree structure look like if I’m using something like dehancer? White Balance - Color Checker - Dehancer? And if I wanted to use a Phantom Lut or any lut where in the tree would that go?
Great video, thank you. I always thought I should be aligning the middle grey with 512 on the waveform. Is 384 really the baseline to align it too?
EXCELLENT VIDEO WELL EXPLAINED
Glad it was helpful!
awesome
great work
Many many thanks
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing this great idea. May you please tell me how to apply these changes to the other clips in the same shoot?
You have to use the color checker for each shot. The exposure and the lighting will be different for every shot.
Excllent video! One question. If you don't shoot at vlog but in cine-d or natural you should make a white balance that almost matches with the scene and then put in front of the camera and shoot. Am I right?
on 2nd node when you input ur camera source gamma, would it still work if you set your target gamma and color to a bigger col space like davinci wide gamma and davinci intermediate to give you a larger col space to work with and do ur other adjustments and then add another node at the end and do a color space tranform to rec 709 inputting davinci wide gamma and davinci intermediste and output to rec 709 gamma 2.4 just a thought
Great job! Thank you :-)
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the video. For those looking for the X-rite ColorChecker Passport. It's now the CaliBrite ColorChecker Passport. CaliBrite is a global partner of X-rite.
I'm waiting for mine to arrive. It's late.☹
Awww yes thank you for the update. I guess it’s time I make another video 😏
Great ,super clear descriptions on getting it right. Can’t wait to try this manual correction, vs auto chart correction. Can you also do a video that describes where the auto correction goes and how to manipulate it if you don’t like it’s effect. Thanks again.
Ill make more color correction tutorials in the future. (I use the auto and then do manual because I noticed the colors dont match exactly..)
@@JamieFenn thank you. I love your videos
05:11 woaaav! dude thanks a lot for this zoom trick.
No problem 😉💪🏽
Dude, this is legit. Really consise content, all killer no filler style video, thanks for making it.
I'm shooting right now on a Nikon D500. It's what I've got, and provided I expose correctly (I use an Shenobi external monitor to help there), it does okay, but I'm debating on getting the color chart. Think this is the next step I should go?
I feel like it's tough to get exposure and color right, and this video basically confirms what I think I already know: I gotta get one of those charts. ...right?
I would. Its been super helpful for me. "Professional" colorists say they dont use them but personally I havent been stuck in front of a computer screen coloring for 10+ years so maybe they're just mad theres a tool out there that does their job pretty well XD Yes I would get one. Link is in the description for the one I have.
@@JamieFenn that's good feedback. Honestly, just getting something that is repeatable in the process so I can remove the guess work would be pretty great.
Thanks again!
Great tutorial, thanks. What I don't understand, after Color Matching you still have to adjust everything, like saturation, color tones, skin tones. I expected everything should be spot on after Color Matching.
Because it’s just not perfect
What is the audio setup for this video?
@jamie fenn would you need to do Color correction after this processnor this is replavokg Color correction?
Hi! Are we supposed to do this each time we film? Thanks ! amazing video
To get the same color match yes
I don't know how but you explained everything. Every detail. Chapeau. One question, in what order should we grade?
I see you did the x-rite auto color balance, then exposure/balance, then manual color balance again. (I don't think I see the pattern)
hahah well thank you. I tried to not miss any steps. As long as you his the correct exposure and get your saturation and hues in the targets you should be good to go :)
Hey bro, great video!
What mic are u using? sounds great
I just bought the shure sm7b which is amazing. amzn.to/30oUq0C
Hi, how about working in Davinci Wide Gammut color space? After selecting Highlight, looks like that showing flat vlog format (excluding CST conversion) in Davinci 18.5.2 ver. What meters levels should be in flat (vlog). Thank you. Can't find on internet.
Could you let me know why you chose Rec.709 as Target Gamma? Are you also exporting and viewing it on Rec.709 Gamma tag monitor? Is it a better choice to set it to gamma 2.4?
Thanks 4 tutorial , but i dont understand why after color match and custom wb, image doesnt have proper hue
Good question, I have been wondering that myself for sometime now... I've skipped the matching portion and have gone with a colorspace transform and then used the checker to match up the chromatic chips and get proper exposure.
More videos please!
Hey Jamie! I am searching for a color checker card but I would need to use it for both video AND photo. I have seen that there are two models. Is there a reason to buy one or the other? Which one should I choose (from Xrite)? Thank you in advance!
Subscribed!! Switching over from Premier and Red Giant. Looking forward to seeing improvements on my videos......
Awesome! Thank you!
Jamie Fenn This is Allen... Just purchased the xrite from your affiliate link!! I hope to start color grading like a champ !! Thanks for the advice!!
Awesome allen! Keep an eye on on that vector scope after you use the xrite - the xrite can be perfect but your scene could be off. (make proper corrections after you follow the steps in this video!
What does it mean when the color dot (during the Proper Hue section) seems to hit an invisible wall and flattens? I've been going back and forth between Sat and Hue v. Sat
mastered
Yessir!
Excellent video! Is there a difference between a "video" passport checker and a "photography" color checker? They both look very similar.
Yes one is photo and ones for video. I made the mistake thinking it was the same thing, and although they do look similar, they’re not.
Wondering if you can answer a question. If I shoot in slog3 I’ve heard it’s best to add a Sony conversion lut first before making any other color corrections. If I were to do this is my source gama still slog 3?
Conversion lut or CST is the same thing basically..
Thanks! I'm trying this with Resolve 17 but when pressing the wand the waveform dissapears? It is just a straight white line at 512. Am I missing something?
Excellent! I only wish you did a little more close ups when you select tools because the lesson is a little fast and kind of hard to see where the mouse pointer goes. Thanks!! PS: what if you have 10 clips to put together? Do you do all this per clip before editing?
Sorry about that. Yes you would need to do this for every take.
Great video. Can you save all these as a preset after all of this or do you have to do it each time?
If your studio lighting and camera settings stay EXACTLY the same each time you film.. then yes.
@@JamieFenn ok, thanks
You know you’re hardcore when you carry your color chart around your neck :) Are you working with Resolve Color management here in the background? If so, what are your settings. I also shoot VLOG, but I have started to work with CST in and out where I go from VLOG to Wide Gammut, then Wide Gammut to REC709. In between those, I do all my adjustments. I like this more than to use management in the project settings.
I’m just in the default project settings
Great tutorial, but I am slightly confused about something: when you use the power window, the adjustments that you make ONLY apply to what's inside the window, correct? I want to use the power window to isolate the colors on the color checker, but when I make the adjustments, it doesn't affect the entire image, which is completely useless. How do I get around this?
If you follow my tutorial I should work perfect. The order of nodes also makes a difference. Hence why I say to follow my tutorial exactly. You use a power window to isolate the color chips and get a baseline. Once you make the corrections you’ll want to tuned off the power window and the corrections will be applied to the whole frame.
Hi Jamie: After watching your vid, I bought one of these to set up my rig. However, I use GoPro and other action cameras. I can't find any info about the "gamma" of these cameras. Is this correction card still useful for those cameras? If so, what do we need to do differently?
Thanks in advance.
Don’t match just skip that step and balance with the color and exposure chips!
Forgive my ignorance but this process would negate the use of a CST on the last node correct? So to sum up, this is a more detailed approach to colour grading your log footage where a CST is a broad stroke to give all around satisfactory results albeit a little less custom?
Love the video!
Why leaving the Color Temp. at 6500K?
Why not adjusting it to what you filmed it in (ex. 5600K)?
I looked that up because I thought the same thing. I guess it comes down to the color temp of your monitor? But It still confuses me but leaving it at default and not touching it works just fine.
