 Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here. I am in my home office today recording a couple of videos for YouTube about video stuff and this is kind of where I do a lot of these videos. It's where I work from nothing to fancy. I at some point would probably build out a whole backdrop for it, but right now I'm trying to keep it simple because we're going to be talking about white balance and color. This is obviously me with a green t-shirt on and I do have a small bit of light. I have a big kind of LED panel just above my computer monitors. It's got a remote control so I usually keep it on this level which is level two. This is the next level up. I think it's a little bit too bright. I'm going to put it down there so the lighting on me is very very subtle not much at all and this is kind of the natural color. Now by default when you connect a webcam into OBS and you're looking at my OBS panel now it's going to be using automatic white balance and I just did a video on using a white balance card. These are super super cheap things you can pick up from eBay or Aliexpress. They just contain three different colors black, gray and white. White's the one that I've been using and on my camcorder the Canon Vixia HFR800 you can go in and do a custom white balance. So I thought you know what as I've done that let's give that a shot on the webcam. So what you're looking at right now is my OBS and me in auto. Now in order to adjust the white balance on your webcam and OBS you want to click on your webcam then click down into the properties cog wheel and if you scroll down a little bit you'll see by default you've got this white white balance temperature auto and this is ticked by default. So watch what happens as soon as I untick this it's going to go haywire and the automatic white balance has been taken off. Now I look all orange so the colors have dramatically gone wrong here. So what you can do is hold up a white balance card and get it to obscure your lens. Now this is going to be a little bit tricky to do this without getting shadows but you can even just kind of judge by the center. Then you can manually play around. Now to the best of my knowledge there's nothing like a plugin for doing this. In other words that you could like my Canon camcorder has that I can hold up white and say this is white set every color in reference to it. What I'm going to do instead is there is this manual dial here for white balance temperature. As you can see we're currently set at 4000 Kelvin. So what I'm going to do now is hold up the light the white and I'm going to just use manually adjusting until I feel like I've got it looking as it should look. So now we're down to 3000 and 12 Kelvin and it's already starting to look a lot more normal. But you can just keep going with this process and trying not to get the light on it. So let's say you go all the way down here now the background color as you're looking strange and this isn't looking particularly white but you can just play around with this until you feel like what you're seeing on your screen replicates the color of the white balance card you're using. I'm going to leave it here at 2886 and it looks pretty decent to me. I think I look a small bit less unnaturally red than I did at the start of this video but the differences are going to be pretty small. So that's what you can do. Obviously if you're doing this in non-artificial lighting conditions where you don't have to worry about reflections on the card I guess this would be easier. But I've used this process a couple of times to make sort of small adjustments to the white balance and just remember that once you have taken it off auto white balance is going to stay that way. So if you want to go back to using automatic white balance go back into your webcam settings and change it to that. That's it for today. Thank you guys for watching. More videos coming soon.
