Footage tinted Red problem

[Marc Dunham]

Having some weird issue in camera where everything is tinted red, however all my settings are at default (no curve). White balance is fine (red tint over any white balance actually) and there's no tint value. What could be causing this? Happens on any lens, sensor looks fine

 

[Noah Yuan-Vogel]

You reset all your settings? R G B Gains? Custom curves? No filters on the lens? Might be the lens...

Try auto white balancing on something white and seeing if it still turns red, that may tell you whether it is a setting in the menu or something optical causing the color cast. If auto whitebalance on a white object still looks red, its probably something in your gain/curves/etc settings, if it is not red with auto wb, it may just be a color cast from your lens or filters or lighting...

And check your histogram, if you point your camera at something white with autowhite balance on, and the histogram shows the red and blue peaks falling at the same place, the red cast might be in your monitor. Or to be more sure, shoot tests and check the footage in redcine-x pro to see if the cast carries over, and if it does, double check your metadata for settings and play around with the metadata to get rid of it and that might help you solve the problem if you find a setting that is causing it even if it seems to be at default.

Did you black shade properly? Does it seem fixable when you bring footage into REDCINE X? Are you using NDs without IR filtration. Can you post some pics and some R3Ds so we can help you further?

 

[Marc Dunham]

Can't post stills as I'm at the event so posting this from my phone. No custom curves, tried auto wb and still has red tint, no filters on lenses. Going to try re black shading

 

[Marc Dunham]

Odd, kept restarting the camera and suddenly fixed itself

I had all my footage look green once and I had accidentally adjusted the tint. When in redcinex, I just slid the tint slider back and everything was fine

In critical situations, I generally tell the DP to shoot a grayscale chart at the beginning of the day. If worse comes to worse, we can always use that as a reference to try to predict where and how the camera went wrong and compensate for it in dailies and post.

The DSC Labs charts are particularly good.

I just had this problem on my Scarlet, turns out I bumped the ManualWB button which causes the tint value to change (drastically). Go to Advanced WB settings (hold your finger down on the color temp section, and a menu will pop up) and check the tint value. I bet yours will be far from 0.000 which is default. You can reset from there. Cheers.

I've had this happen without knowing and shot a lot of footage. Is there any way in Redcine to change the tint value for multiple clips? Or any other solution to fix this all at once?

 

[Bob Gundu]

Of course. Create a preset with the desired look and apply it to all clips. Its all under the LOOK PRESETS.
