Are you using Premiere or After Effects?

Brown is really a darker form of and more redder form of orange. So if your using curves you’ll boost reds in the low end drop the blue.

Or if you have a tone effect you can use that.

If your going for “sepia” which is brown version of b&w, your NLE may already have that built in

I’ve just purchased X-Rite Color Checker and it is quite clear how to use it in Lightroom in photography but what about use in film making?
(Some experience from Final Cut Pro X users would be great)

in regards to FCPX, sepia is a built in effect (has been with fcp for a long time), using it’s color corrector is either easier or harder.

For the method John stated, select the clip, in the video preferences go down to color correction, add a second. In corrector 1 go into the preferences window ( the > button on the far right) drag the shadows orb into the reds until you get the desired affect.

Go back to the main preferences ( < button in top left) and enter the second corrector's preferences. This time grab the global orb and drag it into the blues below the line.

Neeee, I did not want to talk about sepia effect. I am asking members of this site if they use some color checker (e.g. X-Rite) in their workflow and how do they use it. And if there is any FCP X users who have experience with it.

(I didn’t want to start a new thread…)

The color checkers out there such as Xrite are used for maintaining colors as you’re images go through several devices. This is especially important for print color management as the color space of computer monitors is RGB and based on light emission is the opposite of the printed color space which is often CMYK and light reflective. (those aren’t the right terms but that’s the idea). If not set correctly, you can have some serious disagreements between the computer and printer.

So for calibrating your monitor for video, you’ll want to use the old reliable method of checking color bars:

Keep in mind, you don’t want to work in that color space on your entire computer because you won’t be able to see anything (NTSC is so dark you loose a lot of colors)

Because video gets displayed on all sorts of displays of which most aren’t calibrated properly (NTSC really stands for Never The Same Color)… You’ll really want to rely on your scopes to judge whether your video is within the desired color boundaries.

You may have seen this, but he does talk about setting monitor’s white temperature for video editing and how it’s different than for graphics.
