@lunelson Effects>Utility>Color Profile Converter. Will work if x-rite color passport can produce real ICC color profiles. @andres see attached screenshot, if you do not understand ask questions
ProLost has some nice writeups about color workflow in AfterEffects
@dkitsov I have the calibr8 colorchart SG and I am able to do icc profiling with the macbeth profile maker software, but I have never seen something that can transform icc to lut. If you have a link to something please let me know. so far I've couldn't incorporate the workflow for video just for stills.
Hmm. Do you know which AE effect specifically could interpret a color profile from the X-rite passport? It would be interesting to do it that way, just to neutralize footage before editing. I'm looking at doing that as a first step since I also have to convert to an edit format anyway and I can render that out of AE (e.g. ProRes, DNxHD, whatever)
What is possible is to use after effects and use built in convert to profile etc effects. After Effects is a fully color managed application. In addition there are lots of apps floating around that let you do icc/icm>LUT conversion. After Effects is a LUT aware application. I do feel it would be an overkill though. It seems much easier to properly white balance your shot and then color grade it to the way you like (for example qualify a yellow region that bothers you and then dial it down in the ColorFinesse (ships for free with AE), perception of what is accurate varies from person to person...
Anyone know a way to apply a camera profile to video? It would be nice because the GH color response in video mode is a bit distorted: oversaturation of yellow in the shadows for example.
I have it and am satisfied with the purchase. I love that it is a complete all in one system. Color calibration and an 18% grey card for white balance in a slim sturdy compact hard case that you can throw in a small bag or large pocket. It also comes with calibration software that recognizes the passport in an image and automatically creates a color profile.
The size advantage is also a disadvantage as each chart is small and you need to be fairly close when shooting. Overall it is a bargain for the passport and software in one easy to use package.
I don't know. It depends on your needs. You can check chinese color books on ebay and photo sites on how to use them for color calibration. And how reliable they are.
