Thanks Moonwalker!

[timewithtascha]

Jim that is so cool! I am going to have to try that. My videos have been very muted.

[psyfertech]

wow, i could really see the difference, crazy how such small things make such a big difference

[NikosDragan]

Wow once again thanks for the Info, very helpful!

[skooterx]

another great video

[ArrPeeGeefan]

I love these little Jim Shorts!! I unfortunately don't have a video camera or film software. However, I do take pictures, and these are quite helpful :)

Thanks Jim!

Actually let me fix what I said earlier.

Instead of changing the Word background color (which seems to not print, for some reason) Just go into paint and make a block of color with that RGB scale. You can copy it into Word, and stretch it out over the whole page. The reason for copying it into word is that Paint is stupid sometimes and doesn't usually print it on the whole page.

Also, make sure you use "Best" quality setting when printing.

[JonMarshallVaile]

For those on a budget, or just don't want to go out and buy one you can make one.

open Microsoft Word go to Format > Background > More colors

then hit the "Custom" tab and make a color with 117 red, 117 blue, and 117 green, then hit OK and print your page!

I will keep this up in my profile in case you forget it, or if this comment gets bumped.

[quanyin04]

LMAO! That was cool.  Now I know what that's all about. Man - I'm really learning a lot. Gotta find that manual....

[chunks1]

wow neat!

[LeSaMilano]

I am an ardent student of jimshorts and jimclass! I really want to understand key frames and keying and whatnot. Have Vegas and Adobe a.e. but am pitifully unable to understand what I am doing. You explain things so effectively and clearly I thought I'd put in my (ahem) small request for these future video tutorials. :-)

[somecallmejim]

Great suggestion! I'll add that to my list for editing.

Peace!

PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. You will get kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However, if you don't post this comment to at least 3 videos, you will die within 2 days. Copy and paste this, to be saved

[benjaminjamiahjammin]

i love your videos man. i had some major color issues while making my first film (Bomb Hills...)but that was due to major hardware & software mafunction. After getting past those problems, i havnt much paid attention to color. i will now. thanx man.

[darkressurection27]

Thats crazy. Nice vid:)

[somecallmejim]

Thanks!

[thechickchannel]

Jim- how many women have told you...

"I just love your shorts!"

???

Keep em... short and colorful...

Love,

-spygrrl

[somecallmejim]

LOL. More and more women everyday, it seems! A few guys have said it too, but I don't want to dwell on that too much! LOL :-D

Thanks for the kind word!

[jenluv37]

That is super cool, Jim!

[somecallmejim]

Thanks Jenluv!

[Carnosaur]

Hey jim! i'm a New Wannabe filmy chap from MSN. i been on for about a week and havn't made anything yet. but i have watched all ya vidz and i like your humur and your opinoins. very good:)

[somecallmejim]

Thanks carnosaur. Let me know if there are any topics you want me to cover. Thanks for the compliments, and I look forward to your feedback!

[vidular]

Great tip, your video shows how dramatic the effect of white balancing is. Thanks.

[somecallmejim]

Yeah vidular, a little white balancing is an amazing thing, for sure!

[caspersnewname]

thanks for the info!

[somecallmejim]

No prob!

[coreymon77]

thanks for the tip! are those grey cards sold at local stores?

[somecallmejim]

Hey Coreymon,

If you live in a bigger town with a decent camera shop, they should have them. Otherwise, there are several places online that sell them.

[Masterecords]

THATS AWESOME...that really improves the picture thanks Jim...do webcams have the same feature if not what software does this feature??? also i replied to ur e-mail ages ago! :) lol take it easy Jim 5 stars

[somecallmejim]

Virtually every editing program out there (aside from Windows Movie Maker) can do this. I'll make a video on it.

And on that email, I'm still thinking about how to answer it. In the mean time, don't worry, be happy! :-D

[Masterecords]

i'm as happy as a kid in a candy store mate :) lol

[biblegirl7]

Yaaaayyy! New tips!

[somecallmejim]

I live to serve :-D

[biblegirl7]

We all should. (Servant leaders)

[somecallmejim]

I agree totally! :-)

[christinibeani]

I love playing with white balance on my digital camera. Good video, Bub. I don't know why I called you Bub. It just felt right. Thanks!

[somecallmejim]

Hi christinibeani! As you probably know, you can use white balancing to give images a certain look. Want a blueish, cold shot? White balance to a pale yellow card, etc. Experimenting is fun!

[blockster911]

What did we ever do before Jim Shorts? I learn something every time!

[somecallmejim]

Well, if we didn't have Jim Shorts, would we be stuck with Jock straps? Yikes! :-D

[JustInTyme1997]

wow it is soooooo much beter colors at the end that is neat

[somecallmejim]

Thanks JustInTyme!

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Jim thats a great tip! -jim

[somecallmejim]

No problem Jim!

[BeAwareProductions]

I said "wow" out loud when you did that. Nice!

[somecallmejim]

Lol. Amazing what just a little color correction can do, eh?

[FunnyBoi69]

i dont know how to get that colour. would it be easier to print it or does it need to be painted?

[somecallmejim]

You should probably buy one from a website like bhphotovideo. They're less than 10 bucks, and worth the money. Otherwise, a bright white t-shirt or bright white paper works, just not as well.

[billybigun64]

awesome!

[somecallmejim]

Thanks Billy! I'm glad I got to work with you on this!

[SpringDivers]

Nifty trick. Thanks Jim

[somecallmejim]

No problem springdivers!

[RightAsWrong]

awesome vid Jim, and Possibly a first comment?

[somecallmejim]

Not quite first comment, but close. Close enough I'll give you an "OMG!!!1!!!eleven!!! 2nd comment! LOL"

:-D

[askmisscris]

excellent video - now to go break.. er, fix my white balance setting :)

[somecallmejim]

lol, it's amazing how fine a line there is between breaking and fixing :-D Thanks for watching!
