We create instructional videos that are shot indoors.


My question is the wall color is beige and the window coverings are off white

I keep getting a yellowish hue to the videos shot in this room

I have a softbox with cool flow lights $200 bucks

here is a recent video

If you don't want to spend any money, you could just white-balance your camera
and color-correct in your editing program.
 
How did you set the white balance? Set it to 3200K if that's what your lights are.

Oh, and lower the camera to the artists' eye level. :) :) :)
 
Yea... this is very easily corrected with 3 point color correction... The key here is to use choose something that is true "white" in the scene as the reference i.e the letter or piece of white paper on the desk, the white trim on the guys shorts etc... Adjust this for true white and everything else should fall into place. Using Edius 3 point color correction, correcting this would be a matter of 10 seconds and 3 clicks, and all would be perfect. It allows you to correct white, Grey and black balance.
