Overview of the color correction, saturation and color phase settings on many prosumer or professional video cameras. This uses the Panasonic DVX200 scene files as an example and runs through what you are actually changing when editing certain aspects of the color profiles.

I also look at a new profile I have created for the DVX200. It's a fairly low saturation profile focusing on accurate skin tones and faithful color reproduction for web delivery. The first section of this video is shot using this profile directly out of the camera with no color grading whatsoever. It looks great out of camera but I'm not sure how well it will come across on YouTube.

Overall, I would say that this is just trying, testing and learning. Colour is largely personal taste and requirements for a piece of work. Some people may think this profile looks washed out and under-saturated. I prefer that look. It's entirely down to the individual.

NOTE: I am not a colorist and do not have a massive theoretical knowledge of how colors interact with each other as a colorist would. As such, I'd be really happy for anyone to put a bit of 'meat on the bones' to what I'm saying or just blatantly correct anything I might have got wrong.

The DVX200 is a specialist camera so if you're a user and have a favourite profile, please post a link in the comments. It might get flagged as spam due to the link but I will add it manually if it's real and not a link to a random dodgy site :-)
