Calibrite ColorChecker Video Overview

Designed for the video filmmaker, the Calibrite ColorChecker Video features the same size as the ColorChecker Classic, so it won't interrupt your workflow, and the color chips are made for video production. With Grayscale calibration bars centered on the face surrounded by saturated and unsaturated color chips, as well as skin tone patches, the ColorChecker Video is suitable for matching cameras for live production, as well a establishing the a baseline of your camera for postproduction.

The back of the ColorChecker Video is a large 8 x 11" neutral white balance card that you can use to set your camera for the color temperature of the lighting in your scene. Supported by third-part software applications the ColorChecker Video can speed up your production and post production workflow.

Note:
Avoid exposing the chart to bright light and store it in its cover when it is not in use. Also, avoid touching the color patches and protect it from dust, high temperature, humidity, or chemical fumes. Depending on use, Calibrite recommends replacing the ColorChecker charts every two to four years depending on the amount of light to which the ColorChecker targets/chart is exposed.

    Calibrite ColorChecker Video Reviews

    reliable chart!

    This is an important item for setting white balance and aiding the post-production process, especially when matching a multi-camera shoot. I like the large size and orientation of color chips. It's not cheap, but considering the time it saves color/exposure matching in post, it's worth it. For storage, I place this inside a cheap plastic clipboard that has a storage compartment. It fits perfectly, and travels with call sheets, scripts, etc. The only issue I have with this product is remembering to use it for every shoot. That's on me, of course. YMMV

    This thing is a must-have if you're serious about getting your video color right. I bring it everywhere and am considering getting a backup just in case.
