This will be a short review - not least because I'm really enthusiastic about the tool, which is admittedly rare. Do you really need it? After the initial praise, I have to say that I doubt whether the Checkr will be used as much as it deserves. I have referred to the use of colour charts in many workshops - but I have never seen it used in any production myself, at least none that I have been involved in. Especially if you colour correct yourself and don't really need it - except when the tools in Resolve don't always work as far as Resolve's automatic recognition procedure is concerned. If you wanted to counteract this - at least until now - you had to use colour charts manually, but this was only time-saving to a limited extent and usually quite inconvenient. Unhandy, sensitive and not really standardised. This has changed with the new Checkr video. And before anyone says anything: that's not a spelling mistake "Checkr Video" is the name Datacolor uses.
