About the Calibrite Colour Checker Video
Get to your creative look faster! Achieving the proper colour balance and exposure for video can be challenging. F-stops don’t always match. Ambient lighting conditions change. Multiple cameras and lenses have different looks, even if they are the same brand and model. All of this adds up to quality challenges and increased workload in post-production for your colourist or editor.

The affordable ColourChecker Video target makes your workflow faster, more consistent and more balanced. It allows everyone on your team – from producer to cinematographer to editor to colourist – to work with consistent colour information. It saves you time from pre-production through production and helps you get to your creative look faster.

Shoot for colour balance. Shoot for consistency. Shoot for Neutral. Shoot for your creative look.

The large format ColourChecker Video target is great for pre-camera checks and for wider shots, both in studio and on location. This two-sided target provides chromatic colour chips, skin tone chips and gray reference chips on one side and a spectrally neutral white balance card on the other side. ColourChecker Video has multiple dark gray levels to further help with the assessment of shadow areas, as well as saturated and desaturated chromatic colours for even more colour control. Include ColourChecker Video in every shoot to make your video workflow faster, more consistent, more balanced and repeatable. You’ll save time and money by avoiding costly mistakes and frustrating colour corrections after the fact.

This colour chart includes a series of chromatic colour chips, skin tone chips, gray chips and illumination check chips. The layout is designed for ideal performance when used with vectorscopes and waveforms, whether on camera or in software.

Chromatic Colours: two rows of six chromatic colour chips, both saturated and desaturated, specifically designed to align with the colour axis on a vectorscope. These colours provide two levels of colour information to more quickly achieve an ideal colour balance.
Skin Tones: ranging from light to dark with subtle undertones to better reproduce accurate flesh tones. This row of chips is positioned on the outer edge of the target for easy alignment.
Large Gray Levels: four larger steps for even gray balance, including white, 40IRE gray, deep gray and high gloss black. These levels are ideal for determining proper exposure whether you use a waveform, zebras, or false colours. Use these levels to align the exposure and contrast of cameras you are matching and ensure that mid-tones are rendered accurately. These chips are positioned in the center of the test target for maximum exposure, even on a wide set.
Linear Grayscale: six colour chips for achieving even gray balance. This row addresses highlight and shadow regions.
Illumination Check Chips: black and white chips at two corners to better assist in determining even illumination across the target

White Balance Target: Create in-camera white balance to start at a neutral point for all the footage you capture. With this chart, you’ll be able to:

Eliminate colour casts
Make post production colour editing and grading faster and easier by eliminating the need to neutralize frames individually

Use for a variety of applications, including:

Colour grading
Colour balancing
Grey balancing
Setting perfect exposure
Colour matching multiple cameras
Shooting and editing for mixed lighting

Establish accurate white balance from the beginning of the shoot, making post-production colour editing and grading faster and easier by eliminating the need to neutralise frames individually.

Achieve consistent colour even when ambient lighting changes, enabling ideal quality throughout the entire shoot. Improve colour alignment when multiple cameras are used, taking into account their differences for seamless production.

Make your editor and colourist more efficient; minimise editing time with a quick grab at the beginning and/or end of the shoot, making ColorChecker Video one of the best investments you can make to get to your creative look faster.

Obtain a neutral starting point faster than ever before to gain ideal colour balance and eliminate colour casts.

Take advantage of ColorChecker Video’s range of skin tone patches from dark to light and different undertones to allow you to see how flesh tones will reproduce in the final product.
