- What to do when there's no white in a scene for color correction?
www.colorgradingcentral.com/h...
If you've ever had a tight shot that seemingly had a white balancing issue and yet nothing in the scene could be construed as white to use a reference, you're not the first and you're not alone.
I remember as a startup colorist feeling so puzzled about, "How in the world am I going to white balance this shot with no white in it and how will I ever even know if it has been white balanced accurately?"
Well if you're anything like me I like to stew over problems and listen to the marbles roll around in my head until I come up with a solution.
And the solution to fixing a white balance issue even when there is no white in shot is to stick with what you do know.
Filmmakers and photographers can rejoice because there's finally way to fix your shots even without white.
Here's how... The main focus of any shoot is the talent, and they have skin and that skin can be used as a reference in place of white because when balanced properly it will line up on the "flesh line" of the Vectorscope!
I hope this trick resonates with you and what you can do in your color grading.

#whitebalance - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Ugh! The puzzling problem of trying to fix a shot without white is SOLVED finally!!!
Thanks for the great color grading tips you continually bring. I have Cinema Grade and the Color Grading Academy membership. Also your testimony of how you got started has definitely given me encouragement during this season in life 🙂. Keep up the great work!
@@GlenReed thanks a lot Glen, that truly means a lot and if there is anything that I have been able to do to help you I consider myself honored!
Hi Denver, a few years ago I bought color finale, it was great, the problem was when FCPX updated color finale was no longer supported, I have recently bought davinci resolve so have both, are there any guarantees that if I buy cinema grade the same thing wont happen the next time Davinci or FCPX has an update? is there not a standalone version of cinema grade?
I love when they provide very accurate information without going around and around when it relates to the digital age, photography, design.
Great tip. Awesome for those tricky situations. Beautiful work as always dude!
Thanks Casey and congrats to passing 100K, you'll have to send me a pic of you with your TH-cam play button 🙌🏽
This is becoming my fav channel
This is absolutely brilliant tutorial on colour grading. Greatly appreciated your efforts and I learnt more especially on what to do if there is no white in a scene for color correction. New information to me and thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Meena!!
Thank you so much for making time to make and post this video ,from this tutorial I learnt what to do when there is no white in a scene for color correction.
That's absolutely fantastic! I started to practice this process, and it hit me that I should practice on images WITH white, so I could "check myself" after doing your trick. Practicing that way, I was able to get the feel for where my skin tones should be on the skin-tone line when I have to white balance with NO WHITE. It's making my white balancing chops better with your trick!!!! You're amazing!
Tommy that's a good idea to cross examine the two different methods and after all the skin tones are the most important subject so I'm glad that armed with these two methods you're going to optimal results 🙌🏽
That is the beauty of audiovisual production, I have always wanted to be a film producer, what a great way to play with the tones, everything was perfect
Excellent tutorial with tremendous informative content and real effective and efficient. Thank you for sharing this. I loved all the presentation of this content from beginning to end.

I'm from China. I'm glad to see such a wonderful teaching video. Thank you.
Thank you! 😃
Great video. I discovered this myself a while back but you have confirmed that this correction is easiest to solve in Premiere Pro.
I wouldn't say that's necessarily the case. He showed three different techniques in three different NLEs, but you should be able to use the technique shown in Premiere in both Resolve and FCP.
Oh my god. This is amazing!

Imagine you have a person with color vision deficiency and you have to teach him in a way that yields good results.
This video works in that way as it uses technical means where you don’t have to rely on your perfect vision.
I wish there where more of that kind as I’m deficient , too. Not color blind but Protanopia, red green problems.
I'm reading this comment with my colour blindness glasses on, and my premiere window open on the other half of my monitor hahaha.
@@DeanLamb your secret is safe with me :-)
