color - any feature to use color charts ( x rite ) for color correction?

thanks MG, you basically sound like you went through the same learning curve for resolve after coming form adobe. the books and tutorials and the UI and all that.

Thanks Neil.... if you could find it in your heart to do a tutorial for me using resolve 15 ( not 12 ) and explain the auto and manual stuff ( using all the scopes etc. ) I would seriously consider paying you for that link.

I don't 'subscribe' to anything , ever... I don't let anyone into my bank account for auto payments, etc... so that's out of the question.

Thanks Chris. Good link.

So far I've come to understand ( via google searches etc. ) that this passport video thing is sorta built into fcp and resolve as a way to either automatically correct ( once mask is drawn to cover chart ) or else use manual controls ( which I've been doing for the last couple years without a 'auto chart' option ).

I just want to speed things up for basic levels and wb etc... but usually shoot so it's close so manual is fairly easy.

I want to learn more about the vector scope and HLS in resolve 15 specifically, and that is my biggest dumbness. I haven't got the product yet ( will take a week to get here probably ) so I'm just trying to learn what I can from tutorials online before I get it.

I am old and getting impatient with learning new stuff, but I even thought, " maybe I can write a PM to Neil and ask him to make a tutorial for me," but then realized I'd have to mail him an X rite color checker passport VIDEO card... ( about $ 160.00 with tax ) and then offer another amount of money to do the tutorial, which is beyond my fixed income.

I love it that people to plug ins and claim to fix things easily and all that, but frankly I have to learn how to use it without going bonkers and believing in snake oil remedies.

you can download

to use your colorchecker automatically. it says it supports CS6 so try the trial to test it.

thanks for your answers, you guys... I'll let you know what happens when I get the thing from B&H and test it with BRAW bmpcc 4k

there is a free version of resolve...  I have the xrite and did some tests in resolve without much success.  It sounds like a great idea...  have to admit I didn't spend a lot of time trying to make it work...  

Not at this time. Color charts are very useful when shot right, but no automated recognition of them.

Well ... one use. Do them of the various cams in a scene, set up identically for each one, then use the "Apply match" feature of Premiere to set one to match the other.

Edit: especially if you're doing this in multicams, do the above while on the Master Clip tab for each clip, then that sets the changes for all instances of each clip in that sequence.
