Jim Shorts 3 - Crisper Colors 1

The first video on improving your video's general color thanks to the feature known as white balancing.

Every camera white balances differently, so check your camera manual to find out how yours works.

When you white balance using an 18% gray card (like the one I used - but they can be much smaller!) you get beautiful color. 18% gray cards are fairly cheap to buy online, and I have a few smaller ones laying around here if anyone needs one.

If there's something specific you're wondering about that you'd like me to explain in 2 minutes or less, comment here, or shoot me an email at jim@onetorquednut.com.

PS-My wife made those pretty coat hangers. She's got talent, eh?

Thanks Moonwalker!

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. :-)

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

Peace!
