    Hey all, we're having trouble white balancing. Red one was working fine before but now it's just stubborn. Any suggestions?

    That's all we do....

    We keep it as simple as this.., If we are outside.. 5600k... leave it there... TINT on 0

    Under tungsten... 3200k

    Fluro... What ever looks ok...


    But slip back to RAW in post/grade/transcode and delete all on set meta data, select a look that suites and fly like a bird :)

    I try to use a CTB filter (80B works well) under tungsten so that I can WB back to 5600K in camera (native color temp). In other words, make your environment/picture suitable to "5600K camera", not the other way around...

    I agree, as long as the on set monitors look okay for the clients.
