Whether filmmakers do their own color grading or engage a colorist, whether they shoot or direct, they'll save time and get to an ideal place quicker so they can spend more time on their creative 'look'.

The ColorChecker brand from X-Rite has enjoyed a positive reputation in the photo market for nearly 40 years. Now, the ColorChecker targets for video bring that unique color science to the world of video, delivering versatility on set and improved productivity in editing. Professionals and hobbyist filmmakers using Adobe Premiere, Apple Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and other video editing software will be able to take advantage of ColorChecker targets specifically tuned for video production.

ColorChecker Video....

ColorChecker Video's larger format is great for camera checks, and for wider shots, both in studio and on location. It includes:
• Two series of grayscale patches: 7 smaller patches for even gray balance with extra steps close to the highlight and shadow regions, and 4 larger gray level rectangles, including a high gloss black, that are easily recognized by the camera
• A range of skin tone patches from light to dark along the outer edge for easy alignment.
• A series of saturated and de-saturated chromatic colors allowing for appropriate color and saturation adjustments.
• A full size white balance target on the reverse side.
