On-site, use it as the first reference shot in a photo series or video footage to instantly correct color by balancing on the mid-tone gray value. In the studio, use it to evaluate exposure and balance between main and fill lights to quickly set up the proper lighting ratio, and to set white balance. The ColorChecker 3-Step Grayscale target also provides reference values for adjusting colors within most common photo or video editing software packages, allowing you to make quick color adjustments.

The ColorChecker 3-Step Grayscale is scientifically engineered to provide a precise, uniform surface that is spectrally neutral (reflects equal amounts of red, blue, and green) in all types of lighting conditions.

Use it for a variety of applications:

Digital Photography:  Check images, set white balance, and verify exposure and balance between main and fill lights

Film Photography:  Check films, lights, filters, and paper

Filmmaking: Set exposure; check color bias for cameras and lights

Get to your creative look faster! Achieving the proper color 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 colorist or editor.

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

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

Benefits:

• Establish accurate white balance from the beginning of the shoot, making post-production color editing and grading faster and easier by eliminating the need to neutralize frames individually.
• Achieve consistent color even when ambient lighting changes, enabling ideal quality throughout the entire shoot. Improve color alignment when multiple cameras are used, taking into account their differences for seamless production.
• Make your editor and colorist more efficient; minimize 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 color balance and eliminate color 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.

The large format ColorChecker Video target is great for pre-camera checks and for wider shots, both in studio and on location. This two-sided target provides chromatic color chips, skin tone chips and gray reference chips on one side and a spectrally neutral white balance card on the other side.  ColorChecker Video has multiple dark gray levels to further help with the assessment of shadow areas, as well as saturated and desaturated chromatic colors for even more color control. Include ColorChecker 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 color corrections after the fact.
