🎥 Is Your Custom White Balance Secretly Ruining Your Footage?
📽️ A Video by Chris from cNOMADIC

If you’ve ever dialed in the exact same Kelvin value on multiple cameras—only to end up with mismatched color—this video is for you.

Chris breaks down a common (but often overlooked) white balance mistake that can dramatically affect your image quality: tint carryover in custom white balance modes. Through real-world examples, a multi-camera shoot, and side-by-side demonstrations, you’ll learn:

✅ The hidden difference between preset and custom white balance
✅ Why custom tint values stick even when you change Kelvin
✅ How different light sources affect tint—plus real tests using GVM and Amaran LEDs
✅ When to use preset vs. custom depending on your workflow (Log, Live, Studio, etc.)

Whether you’re shooting interviews, B-roll, live events, or cinematic scenes—this is the white balance lesson every filmmaker needs to hear
