Calibrite ColorChecker Video

Its primary benefit is to provide a reliable color and white balance reference for video production, ensuring consistent and accurate colors from shoot to edit, especially when matching multiple cameras.

While it is optimized for video, the color reference side can be used for still photography, but the Calibrite ColorChecker Classic or Photo charts are more specifically designed for photographic applications.

The ColorChecker Video is A4 sized, measuring 215.9 mm (height) x 279.4 mm (width).

Place the chart in your scene under the intended lighting. Capture a frame with the white balance card filling the frame or positioned prominently. Use this frame in your editing software to set a custom white balance or as a reference.

Yes, it is designed to be durable and rigid, making it suitable for professional use on location shoots.

It is supported by many key third-party software applications used in video editing and color grading, such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro.

The chart features 33 colors, including chromatic colors, skin tone patches, and grayscale reference chips.

Ensure the chart was evenly lit during capture. Check your camera's white balance settings and color profiles to ensure they are set to neutral or appropriate for the chart. Verify that your editing software is correctly interpreting the color data.

Ensure sufficient light is hitting the chart. Check your camera's exposure settings; underexposure can make colors appear muted. Also, ensure the chart is clean and free of smudges.

Handle the chart carefully. Store it flat in a protective case and avoid extreme temperatures or humidity, which can affect the rigid material over time.
