  • Different cameras color match (5D, 60D and JVC)

    Posted by Guilherme Peralta on December 5, 2011 at 3:55 pm

    I made a video with 4 cameras:

    5D (front)
    60D (left side)
    JVC (right side)
    Canon Vixia (camera on the table)

    Something was not configured correctly on the JVC camera (right side) and the color/texture/saturation is too different from the other cameras.

    Take a look:

    Front camera (5D):
    3362_5d.jpg.zip

    Right side camera (JVC):
    3363_jvc.jpg.zip

    Is there anyway to fix it? I tried a feel color correctors for final cut and after effects but i can’t get to a good match in the cameras.

    Thank you.

    I mix a sony ex-1 with a 5D & 7D. I usually start with the 3 color corrector tool in final cut. Start with the white eyedropper and adjust, then mid, then crush, – 4 to -10 on average on the blacks.

    Usually the blacks on the 5D and other colors are more detailed. It’s hard to say exactly since your settings will vary. Next time, use a warming card to help match your JVC.
