Adjusting white balance, colors and saturation in DaVinci Resolve using Spyder Checkr Video

By

Spyder Checkr Video helps videographers optimize their video workflow. It ensures accurate video color and exposure and can be used in a variety of video editing applications. In the video below, Marco Schreiber explains how to use Spyder Checkr Video in DaVinci Resolve.

Many cameras often capture photos and videos with an individual color cast, which may even be exacerbated by the light that was present when the shot was taken. In Marco’s footage, for example, there is a slight yellow cast to the skin tones, which is quickly corrected using Spyder Checkr Video in DaVinci Resolve.

Also the use of multiple camera systems is an important reason for using the Spyder Checkr Video, because even though videographers like to give their videos a special cinematic, artistic look, it is essential to match the source material in terms of color and exposure beforehand. With Spyder Checkr Video, this is done on the basis of the Rec.709 standard. This makes it easy to combine any footage from different cameras, without the need for cumbersome manual color adjustments of individual sequences.

In the video, Marco explains how to use Spyder Checkr Video to adjust white balance, contrast, hues, and saturation in DaVinci Resolve.
