Use a full screen still-store instead of a split screen to train yourself to match shots more quickly and focus on how well the shots \u201cedit\u201d together.<\/h2>\n

One of the most useful tools in a color grading application is the still-store<\/strong>. This lets you store a reference image<\/strong> and call it up when working on another shot to see how they compare. Most still-stores default to a splt screen view<\/strong> so you can compare the two shots at the same time. Instead of utilizing this view to make sure the shots match exactly<\/em>, try using a full screen view<\/strong> of the reference image.<\/p>\n

\"DaVinci<\/p>\n

Using a full screen still store does two things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It makes you match shots<\/strong> perceptually<\/em>, which is how the audience will be viewing the piece. They won\u2019t get a split screen view to compare one shot to the next. They see them one at a time, and what matters is that the shots appear<\/em> to match. Perception is reality in this instance. Sometimes even when two shots are perfectly matched color-wise, they still do not\u00a0\u201cedit\u201d together<\/strong> well when seen one after the other. How they edit together is much more important than the actual \u201ccorrectness\u201d of the matching.<\/li>\n
  2. It makes you faster at matching. Instead of relying on a split screen to see what the differences are, you train your eye to notice color casts, recognize target hues when you reach them, and quickly analyize a shot for what is necessary to correct it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The split screen view is a crutch most of the time<\/strong>; a well-trained eye is far more effective and valuable. Save the split screen for when you really need that level of detail on the tricky shots you encounter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
