  premiere waveform monitor

  Posted by Peter Crawford on July 21, 2013 at 6:03 am

  Hi all

  can someone please explain to me why the waveform monitor is clamped at .3 and 1.5
  I have just switched from fcp and this seems odd to me.
  should I not be setting my blacks at 0?

  thanks

  I dont have this option, from reading about it…perhaps its beacause im running PAL and on a mac.

  7.5 setup isn’t a component of analog NTSC in Japan, or PAL…

  Analog Waveforms I’ve typically seen place black (0 IRE) at .3…but white is typically at 1.0.

  What sort of footage is this and how did you bring it into the computer?

  Hi, sorry just to clarify the scope ranges from 0.1 to 1.2v but nothing goes below 0.3 and hits a wall at 1.07.
  I understand not wanting to go beyond 1 but why does it automatically clamp it, and 0.3 i just dont understand, have alays worked with 0-100 in fcp.

  Doesnt matter what footage im using, excam, gopro…..
  Im just importing it mormally or dragging and dropping throught the browser.

  What perplexes me the most is the drastic difference in the waveform monitor compared to my waveform on my broadcast monitor(panasonic BTLH1850).
  The pana will read specs way beyond safe with whites way over and blacks way under while pp reads whites sitting nicely at 1.0 and blacks up around 0.35.

  The difference in the monitors could all be down to the fact that I am feeding the pana via the imacs mini dvi to dvi port.. I realise its not the ideal setup for now but didnt expect such a massive difference.

  As for the 0.3 to 1.07 im lost…

  Thanks
