Video scopes<\/strong> provide a more detailed<\/strong> look<\/strong> at a video image. Editors use them to abide by broadcast<\/strong>standards<\/strong> and perform more precise color correction.<\/strong> Knowing how to read<\/strong> the video scopes will give you tight control<\/strong> over your images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this tutorial, I\u2019ll go over how to read<\/strong> various video scopes<\/strong> in Adobe Premiere Pro,<\/strong> including the RGB parade, histogram, waveform,<\/strong> and vectorscopes.<\/strong> I\u2019ll also discuss how to customize the Lumetri<\/strong> Scopes<\/strong> display panel. Before we get started we need to make sure we have the Lumetri Scopes panel open by selecting Window<\/strong> > Lumetri Scopes.<\/strong> You can also select Premiere\u2019s default Color workspace.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vectorscope<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0vectorscope<\/strong>\u00a0monitors the\u00a0color information in an image<\/strong>. The scope is a\u00a0circular graph,<\/strong>\u00a0similar to a color wheel. It measures\u00a0saturation<\/strong>\u00a0outward from the center. Therefore, it is less saturated in the center and more going outward. While measuring\u00a0hue<\/strong>\u00a0in a circular pattern as you move 360\u00b0 around the scope. If you\u2019re viewing a black and white image, all you\u2019ll see is a dot in the center of the scope. Premiere offers two different flavors of the\u00a0vectorscope:\u00a0YUV<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0HLS<\/strong>\u00a0(Hue, Lightness, and Saturation). YUV mode gives you several\u00a0color boxes,<\/strong>\u00a0allowing you to quickly see if your hue and saturation levels are correct. Engineers use these\u00a0targets<\/strong>\u00a0to make sure the signal is within the legal\u00a0limits for\u00a0broadcast<\/strong>\u00a0standards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Histogram<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever worked in Adobe Photoshop,<\/strong> then you\u2019ve probably used the Levels<\/strong> tool<\/strong> to make tonal adjustments to an image. And if you\u2019ve used Levels, then you\u2019re familiar with a histogram.<\/strong> The histogram<\/strong>allows you to view tonal<\/strong> values<\/strong>, including the highlights, midtones,<\/strong> and darks<\/strong> of your image. Quickly view your image\u2019s brightness values in 256 different tonal levels, with pure black at 0 and pure white at 255 (for 8-bit images).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waveform<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Monitor the intensity levels of your image with a waveform<\/strong> scope<\/strong>. The waveform can monitor both the luminance<\/strong> and chrominance<\/strong> levels<\/strong> of an image, depending on the viewing options you select. Waveforms measure intensity<\/strong> in IRE<\/strong> units, ranging from 0 \u2013 100, with 0<\/strong> being black<\/strong> and 100 white. Black levels<\/strong> are at the bottom of the waveform scope, with white at the top. Change the waveform type<\/strong> to specify what you want to view, including RGB, Luma, YC,<\/strong> and YC with no Chroma.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RGB Parade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The RGB parade<\/strong> scope is much like the waveform monitor, giving you a look at the intensity<\/strong> levels<\/strong> of a video signal from bottom to top. However, the RGB parade<\/strong> scope gives you an isolated<\/strong> view<\/strong> of each color<\/strong> channel<\/strong> \u2014 red, green, and blue. This differs from the RGB waveform<\/strong> scope, which displays the three color channels as a composite. The RGB parade scope is very useful if you\u2019re trying to match color between several shots. Use the RGB curves<\/strong> effect in conjunction with the RGB parade scope to quickly match the colors of several shots in a sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wrench Bar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use the wrench icon<\/strong> at the bottom of the Lumetri Scopes<\/strong> panel to customize the display<\/strong>. Premiere Pro offers a variety of different preset<\/strong> layouts<\/strong>, allowing you to quickly switch between different scopes \u2014 and even view<\/strong> multiple<\/strong> scopes<\/strong> at the same time. Further customize<\/strong> the specific<\/strong> waveform<\/strong> or parade<\/strong>type<\/strong> you want to display, as well as the brightness<\/strong> of the scopes. You\u2019ll also notice a few different Color Spaces<\/strong> in the Lumetri<\/strong> panel. These are Standard Definition, High Definition,<\/strong> and 4K<\/strong>, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
