Why You Should Color Calibrate Your Video Editing Monitor (and how to do it!)

For Professional Video Editors and Colorists who want a monitor with a self-calibrator:
ASUS ProArt 32" PA32UCXR 4k HDR monitor with a built-in motorized colorimeter with Dolby Vision -- On sale now for $2,759
Amazon ➜ asus.click/ProArt-Gal-USamz
B&H ➜ asus.click/ProArt-Gal-B&H
UK e-tailer ➜ asus.click/ProArt-Gal-UK
Another less expensive option would be to get the ASUS PorArt PA279CRV 27" 4k HDR Monitor without Dolby Vision and no built-in calibrator. This is only sale now for only $399 -- while it does come pre-calibrated, you will need to calibrate it regularly with a calibration device that you must purchase separately (recommendation below).
Amazon ➜ amzn.to/4c0bBae
B&H ➜ bhpho.to/4bSS2Rb
If you have a monitor without a self-calibrator, purchase a professional video color calibration device:
➜ DataColor Spyder X2 Elite for Video Professionals: amzn.to/3zXDmDi or bhpho.to/4f7r6js
*Note, remember that these devices create a color calibration profile on your computer for that monitor, it doesn't calibrate the monitor itself.

Color is important! I hope this video provided some options to help you get on your calibration journey!
-
Great descriptions of the different color spaces and how they're used! Thanks so much!
-
Always good videos! Never miss them!
-
Evey time I use a color calibrator, it dims my screen so much I can' see it. Even when the room is dark. Any tips for fixing this?Also, is there a way to make a LUT after calibrating your screen so you can add it to your camera when you shoot?
-
Will color look same on all the devices like iPhone, Android phones, ipad, Tv, laptops, etc if I calibrate my Asus Proart PA279CV monitor and edit on it?
-
umm phones are default Color Accurate device to compare to?
-
❤ the intro

@PremiereGal Did you turn on "Display Color Management" in premiere preferences under color? I think it´s turned off by default. I got my monitor calibrated and turning this on slightly changes the colors of my rec.709 videos in the program panel. Should this be turned on in premiere? I don´t understand why it´s turned off by default. My monitor is calibrated, not restricted to a color space I believe ("Photo" in Calibrite Profiler with these settings: 300 nit, D65, gamma 2.2).

Not the 80s montage music!😂😂😂 Great video. 😊
-
This was great, thank you. I wish they'd teach this in video/graphic editing classes, to calibrate our monitors, cause we're not all going to be using the school lab for everything. Would love to see more videos like this. I do have a silly question, why do you have a hood on your monitor? Thank you!
-
1 mins in and let me tell you I'm glad someone that I have followed for learning editing uses the same Asus Proart monitor as myself.
-
so I have really basic 1080p IPS LCD monitor, it only has picture modes like cinema, gaming, reading, and a few more basic ones. How can I color caliberate that? Is that color caliberation device necessary or is there any other "cheaper" way to do it?
-
Calibration intervals depend on the workload. I use 4weeks. But if I get really busy, I'll go 2 weeks
-
Thanks for this
-
Thanks. Can you explain if the "display color managed" in PP should be turned on or off? I calibrate my monitor and when used PP it looks better to me but in Windows on media players it looks over satured. On my phone on YT it looks like in PP with DCM turned on. According to your video I should leave it in as phones are more accurate?

In the early 2000 we hung a Pantone Huey I have no idea what they do in 2024 and yes we treated it like an instrument that had to be tuned
