The problem is not just WB. It's a combination of things. Yes, WB should be properly done. Alien Bees come with daylight balanced bulbs by default. In contrast, many if not most hot lights do not come with daylight balanced bulbs. If you want them to look similar then you need to either master WB or at least get daylight balanced bulbs for your video lights.

You want your picture of apples to look like your videos of apples but you are using orange lights...So to speak.

The "crisp" image that you are looking for is going to be limited by low power/not enough video light AND the smaller CCD. You can't change the CCD size without buying a new camera.....But you can easily add light without spending a fortune.
