Overview

The Calibrite ColorChecker Video is a professional-grade colour target designed specifically for video production. Matching the size of the original ColorChecker Classic (215.9 x 279.4mm), it provides a structured, reliable way to achieve consistent colour, accurate skin tones and balanced exposure across your entire workflow.

With a dual-sided design, it combines a comprehensive video colour chart on one side with a large, spectrally neutral white balance card on the reverse. This allows you to quickly establish a neutral baseline in-camera and maintain consistency from shoot through to grading.

Built to be durable and rigid, it’s suitable for regular on-set use, whether you’re working with a single camera or managing multi-camera setups under mixed lighting conditions.

Who this is for

• Filmmakers and videographers needing consistent colour across projects
• DPs and camera operators working with multiple cameras or changing lighting
• Colourists and editors aiming to speed up grading workflows
• Production teams that require reliable, repeatable colour reference on set

How it works / component breakdown

Video Colour Target (Front)
Designed for use with vectorscopes and waveforms, this side helps you quickly align colour and exposure.

• Chromatic Colours
  Two rows of six chips (saturated and desaturated) aligned to video colour axes, helping you dial in accurate colour balance faster.
• Skin Tone Chips
  Six tones from light to dark with varied undertones, making it easier to reproduce natural-looking skin across different subjects.
• Large Grey Levels
  Includes white, 40 IRE grey, deep grey and high-gloss black. These provide clear reference points for exposure, contrast and midtone accuracy.
• Linear Greyscale
  Six-step progression for balancing highlights and shadows evenly across the frame.
• Illumination Check Chips
  Black and white chips in the corners help confirm even lighting across the scene.

White Balance Target (Reverse)
A spectrally neutral surface that reflects light evenly across the visible spectrum, enabling accurate in-camera white balance under varied lighting conditions.

Why choose this product

Achieving consistent colour in video is often complicated by mixed lighting, differing camera responses and shifting environments. This chart provides a controlled reference point that simplifies that process.

By setting accurate white balance and exposure at the start, you reduce the need for heavy correction later. This leads to faster grading, improved consistency between shots and cameras, and more reliable results across your entire production pipeline.

It also improves on-set confidence—what you see on your monitor and scopes is closer to the final result, saving time and avoiding rework.

Ideal uses

• Pre-shoot camera setup and calibration
• Multi-camera colour matching
• Shooting in mixed or changing lighting conditions
• Colour grading and post-production workflows
• Exposure and contrast checks using waveform or false colour
