Easy to Find the Correct WB Color
Correct white balance should not be a huge mystery, and in fact you only have a Red, Green, and Blue slider to deal with. But trying to dial in the right combination of color for your white balance can be like trying to crack a safe. With our newest product, White Balancer, we make this easy!
Once you have purchased and installed White Balancer, in FCPX, all you have to do is navigate to the effects tab, then to CF White Balancer. Drag and drop it onto the desired clip. From the White Balancer controls in the inspector window, click on the Custom WB color square (not the drop down arrow). A color window will come up. Choose the magnifying glass and and it will act like a color picker. You can then choose the color in your clip that is supposed to be white. The colors will automatically adjust for correct white balance.
Full Exposure Controls
White Balancer has an array of exposure controls that you can further use to dial in the correct exposure once you have found your white balance. Bring up the brights and punch your image with the contrast tool to give it some depth.
Additional Color Controls to Add Depth
Toward the bottom of the inspector pane of White Balancer, you will see four preset controls that allows you to add more depth to your image. These controls play with the Reds, Yellows, Greens, and Blues of the mid tones and really add another layer to your videos. There is also a custom color creator if you want to find your own look.
