  External monitor not updating effects when PP2 preview set to Scope

  Posted by Vince Becquiot on May 4, 2006 at 2:06 am

  Has anyone noticed that the Firewire output is not updating effects when PP2 preview set to Scope ? Any work around?

  I like to keep my PP2 preview window set to waveform and using an external monitor for Video preview.

  But most effects, including color correction, levels, etc. do not update until I switch the preview monitor back to composite.

  it becomes painful given that I work on a many projects that need scene color matching. I often work on the road and that big external scope just doesn’t do it for travel.

  Thanks,

  Vince

  Best way is to put your scopes in a Reference Monitor. Make sure the Program Monitor was the last panel that was active before you begin adjustments in the Effect Controls panel. You will get real-time updates on the scope, on the Program Monitor and on your external monitor.

  A less elegant solution is to go ahead and put your scopes in the PM, but then move the CTI one frame up or back to force the update on the external monitor. You don’t have to switch the PM display mode.
