This Giuy is Special. As i'm getting closer to starting my own channel with a pro set up... I've been researching.. The logistics of a pro set up.. I bounced around alot.. and kept finding these video's being the most informative while staying simple and effective.. I just got my black magic 4k and totally paid for his 79.00 tutarial .. and feel it was a great purchase.

Well, it's not just about the eyes when it comes to color correction and grading. As a VFX artist for 15 years, I most often work in very dark rooms.The reason being that ambient light and nearby practical lights can affect how your eyes interpret color. There are light bulbs you can get that are specifically designed for people needing some light in their room but don't want to affect the colors they see on their screen. In the meantime, having less ambient light in your work area helps immensely. In the end, as you suggest, it's worth the time and effort to learn how to read and work with scopes when grading and correcting your footage. Great video, Caleb. Thanks!

This is easily one of my favourite videos you have ever done and I've literally been showing it to everyone I know who even does basic video stuff. It's usually way too complicated to explain to the person that doesn't do much video, but once they see how simple and easy the workflow is everyone I know is switching to using these for everything. Love this, keep it up :D

Love this more in-depth overview. Was just grading a vlog and wrapping up my grade while I watched this - went back and used Hue vs. Hue in FCPX to tweak my skin tones a bit to dial things in. Love using a gray card as well! Always use on interview shoots, and it makes post sooooo much easier.

Hi Caleb. I’ve been playing around with colour and gamma for about a month now. Reason being that my software has no inbuilt scopes and my computer display just doesn’t look the same as the TV screen. So what I’ve been doing is playing back the picture on my TV screen and adjusting the colour balance, gamma and hue on my software output to basically match my TV screen. That means that at least while I edit, I am getting a clearer picture of what I will get on the TV. Then before rendering, I take the ‘adjustments’ on the software out and so I’m left with a picture that looks wrong on computer but the TV looks closer to what I saw with the adjustments while editing. It’s a bit convoluted, but just gets around the problem of not having scopes, albeit in a cruder way.

"Skin tone line" is in fact one of the two chrominance subcarries advanced by 33 deg from R-Y axe called "I" (the other is called "Q" and is advanced from B-Y axe). They are made due to the fact that human eye can resolve orange and cyan hues better than green and magenta. Just a small info, great video!

The note that you set your LUT PACKS with a gray card waveform at 50% is VERY helpful to include in your LUT PACK webpages! I found a 5-7 year old exposure video of yours where you suggested about 40% for skin tones and that wasn’t quite ideal for the stops in your packs.

Thanks for sharing - I found this enlightening. I'm new to colour grading using the vectorscope and can see how it would be useful for grading caucasian skin tones, but I'm not sure how it useful it would be for grading, say, very dark skinned people, or people with an olive complexion. Is there any chance you could do a tutorial showing it in action with different coloured skin tones?
