Calibrite ColorChecker Video: Pro Color Control for Filmmakers
Achieve perfect color balance and creative control in your video workflow with the Calibrite ColorChecker Video. Brought to you by the creators of the original ColorChecker Classic, this essential tool is meticulously designed for filmmakers, cinematographers, and editors who demand color accuracy and consistency from the moment they shoot to the final edit. Stop wasting valuable time fixing color casts in post-production and start capturing a perfectly balanced and neutral baseline, every single time.
The ColorChecker Video is a durable, two-sided target that streamlines your entire production process. One side features a comprehensive chart with chromatic colors, precise skin tones, and detailed gray levels, allowing you to perfectly match multiple cameras, set ideal exposure, and maintain color fidelity across various scenes and lighting conditions. This larger format is ideal for wider shots and pre-camera checks, ensuring your entire frame is captured with accurate color reference. On the reverse, you'll find a spectrally neutral white balance card, enabling you to create a precise in-camera white balance. This simple step eliminates frustrating color casts at the source, giving you a clean, consistent foundation for your creative color grading.
By integrating the ColorChecker Video into your workflow, you unlock a new level of efficiency and creative freedom. It dramatically speeds up your editing process by eliminating the tedious task of neutralizing individual clips. This gives you more time to focus on what truly matters: crafting the perfect look and feel for your story. Whether you're color grading, matching cameras, or shooting in mixed lighting, the ColorChecker Video provides the reliable, professional reference you need to get to your ideal color place, faster than ever before.
