I am a GH5 user and I always bring a pocket-sized grey card then just use the "select white balance" feature, point it at the grey card then done!
you should make a youtube tutorial of 5 seconds saying this line. To the point !!!
Just filmed a video yesterday, all fancy, in S-Log3, 4K 24, on A7III, 1/50. Sadly, as a long time photographer, left AWB on, since I shoot RAW, and photos are photos. The camera was set on a tripod, I (the subject) was sat next to the window. The clouds outside were changing (but not much) throughout the 20 minutes that I was recording. Then in post, tried to swap places of different parts of the video - and it was such a terrible mess, even though the video was shot in a relatively controlled environment. It was the most amazing feeling that I can still get things wrong - and this humbling feeling is exactly what we sometimes need as creatives.
Instructions unclear. Set a campfire during wedding speeches
😂
I love how you always speak for the viewer and offer an immediate response. It’s really effective. Also, I love that you finally featured the famous tree light!
I completely understand white balance and feel there are pros and cons on both sides of the manual/auto debate. Personally I still prefer (the majority of the time) to use auto. Filming weddings solo you’ve got so much to remember - 3 to 4 cameras to set up, 3 to 4 different microphones/audio sources to set up, frame rate, shutter speed, aperture, iso, as well as positioning and ensuring the record limits on certain cameras don’t run out, battery life etc etc. Auto white balance - for me - does a good enough job on most occasions that it means it’s one less thing to worry about - it would be far more difficult to fix a completely wrong white balance in post that you’ve forgotten to change, than an auto white balance that the camera has got a little bit off. There’s also the fact that the colours from different lenses will vary slightly, and your footage will still likely need a bit of tweaking in post regardless. Another time I favour auto white balance is on the gimbal, if you are getting a moving shot going from indoor to outdoor, auto takes care of that change and let’s you focus on a steady shot and good composition. Finally, a multi camera set up may have cameras, as you’ve pointed out in this video, that the lighting is different based on the angle the camera is facing (one could be majority window lit while another angle majority bulb lit). In this situation again I feel auto is a safer bet in what is usually a very time restricted moment in a wedding.
It’s certainly a interesting and debatable topic - similar in some ways to auto iso. Which again I feel has plenty positives to it, as well as a few negatives.
Its not that difficult dude. Our eyes are wired to see in 5600 kelvin, just set your white balance that way for all cameras and you are ready to go.
You’re seriously such a good teacher. Thanks for all the wisdom, you’re the man Matt!
Hey Cam
I agree! Just found him and I'm enjoying his videos. :)
Grey/White card can be useful also :) thank you.
I normally set my WB with a white card, but I also have a grey card Ive never used..how do you use the grey card? Do you set the WB with the grey instead of the white? And if so why is it better than the white one?
@@rogeliorogel8690 same as i know. Its just need to be without colours to see correctly.
@@ge11erth thanks for your reply! So put it in black and white for WB calibration then
Beautifully explained, Matt. Thank you.
Fantastically taught and such a smooth and articulate way of explaining ! Shot all my footage last week without this knowledge and everything looked too cool and I was outside at the beach! I am taking what I learned today to re-shoot! You rule !!
Matt: setting the white balance perfect for the light
Me: Trying to see on my little Sony screen if I pressed the REC button 😅
One of the best tutorials on white balance on youtube! Great video Matt! I usually end up switching between 3200-5600k which I know I should stop doing and use grey cards etc. So I avoid tungsten lamps looking too warm in daylight set situations.
I usually set manually. As with everything, practice makes perfect. Great presentation. Thanks.
For me, you are the best on TH-cam at explaining film making. I’ve learnt the most from you!
By far the best videos on TH-cam! Learned a lot from him, looking back I’m so glad I subscribed to his channel!!
Killer tutorial, you really broke things down! Thanks!!! Matt!!!
I’ve literally been looking for where to manually put my color temp on my a6400, and thanks to you I now know. Thanks for the video!!
This was the third white balance for video tutorial that I watched today, and it was by far the most clear and helpful.
Simple, direct and impossible to misunderstand. A hug from Brazil
Great video Matt, answered my questions beautifully!
This is liked and added to my videography tip playlist! Thank you for making this easier to understand.
I typically use a white card on my FS5 ii but on my canon I typically set it manually. On my older work I used auto or those presets you mentioned. Good stuff Matt!
This is the best white balance video i have watched on youtube.. i was aware of the colour temp chart but i never thought to think of it outside the box like you explained here!! Im so happy right now. I thought i needed a fancy camera which will do the magic tricks for me 🤦🏾♀️
Thanks, Matt! Simple and great tutorial.
Por este tipo de detalles es que me suscribí a tu canal, muchas gracias por tu experiencia y grandes consejos. Saludos amigo
I really enjoy the way you explain things. Very helpful. Thanks 🙏
Matt, your skillful blend of examples and historical insights made a challenging topic clear and understandable, even for me with my dyslexia. I’m grateful for your effective and inclusive teaching style. Thank you!
All these years and it has never clicked until what you said at 2:00. Huh. You’re the man!
Really appreciate how you break it down. I follow a lot of different filmmakers, but only go to handful to really learn from. As an aspiring Videographer, when I get there, I will definitely shout you out! see you on the next one!
Subscribed. These videos are perfect. Love how you explain everything so clearly!
Thank you, Matt....as always, this was very informative!
Quick and to the point. Thank you!

Beghine videographer here, ive been struggling with this and you've helped me with this video! Def following:D
Fantastic! Thanks so much!
This was such a helpful video. Been on AWB and it has been a mess in post 😪
I used like a total noob auto, but after seeing this just realized how important is and also thanks for the short history lesson 🙏🏼 really nice vid
Great summary. Had the exact problem with the first video I shot.
You are a good teacher 👨🏫.
Hello Matt Johnson, greetings from Germany. I like your video tutorials, thank you very much!
Thank you very much - very useful 😁
Very useful, thanks
Wow such great work you are doing. I like your style of teaching. Please make a video on vlogging setups / studio lighting
Great video👏
Thanku so much sir , lots of love from India
Thank you Matt
I use a Gray Card which is so useful for making white balance perfect a ton easier with any struggles! You should make a video about a Gray Card Matt Johnson! It's a very useful Camera Tool!
I am a film student at Full Sail and I use the Sony FS5 camera. Your video helped me understand white balance so much more than the school did! Thank you for this video!
I Graduated there back in 2008 and back then celluloid film was still the standard. The instructors beat it into our head that video is inferior to film, and that film will always be the standard and that video will never be able to rival film. So when it came time to learn about video cameras, I didn't pay too much attention to the white balancing, grey cards, and color checkers. Last year I bought the A7S III which is my first "real" camera and I was so overwhelmed with all the stuff I had to learn. That being said, I still learned a lot of good stuff that can be applied to digital cinematography, and the school gave me a great perspective on the different roles on a "film set". Ever since Saw 2 came out, Darren Lynn Bousman has been that school's pride and joy, hopefully soon I can take that mantle.
Now i understood the white balance . Thank u sir. Love from nepal
thank you this really helped me
I was so confused thanks a lot. I'm currently building a YT Setup and my skin looked so weird as I introduced an orange rim light. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much man!
Great Video. I use AWB if I'm in a one like setting. If i'm dealing with more than one light source I will set (K) for the main key light. Just need to practice more so when I'm not running and gunning.
Before this video auto white balance but thanks to you I’m gonna start following your way thank you
Awesome video! You are always my favorite! How do we set white balance for sunrise or sunset? For pre sunrise or post sunset? thank you so much
“The Feynman Technique: If You Can't Explain It To A 5-Year Old, You Don't Understand It. “…. That’s you Matt…you make it so simple to new bees to understand…. Seen so many confusing videos around….Thank you my little brother!!
I have a Grey / White target that I wear around my neck, lanyard. The plastic cards are 5x7 I believe. I radio my 2nd cameraman and tell him what to set his camera at. Sometimes at receptions we run into problems matching colors since we may have different amounts of light on our subjects. The couple & the toasters.
Great!! Love this!
I’ve been using awb as I just started and it’s indeed really difficult to color grade. Thanks for the info, switching to the other white balance options :-)!
After watching this video now i can set manually the kelvins of the colours optimum to the white, otherwise i'm using auto before. Thanks a lot for the scientific explanation .
Great video!!!!!!! Yea gave me more
Finally tip-toeing out of auto white balance 😆 Thank you Matt !
Great video
I needed to see this.... been shooting on auto. Definitely need to dial it in.
Good information
Great info! How do you feel about using grey cards to nail it in for each specific environment? That seems to work well for most of my uses, it's quick, fairly accurate, and easy.
Hey Matt!! Great video thank you so much!! Do you happen to have an updated video for your picture profile for your sonys? Would love to know!
Grazie Matt!😊
Thankyou sooo much
Here's me in 2022 coming back to this video to understand kalvin settings again, I usually use auto, but like you said, it's hard when it comes to editing. So, thank you for this information!
very good teacher ^^
Thanks for sharing Matt. really appreciate the use of b-roll to illustrate what you're saying when talking about the different Color Temps! Side note, Who's the 1 hater that disliked the video?! 😂
