Test Patterns in FCP
I was told that on the install DVD for FCP that there are additional test patterns that can be loaded into Final Cut. I have looked through the DVD but can’t seem to find a folder with additional patterns. Anyone know where these might live?
Thanks,
Mike -

Do you mean Color Bars, or Countdowns?

The main install disc has a folder with Extras, but it has things like academy leaders for Cinema Tools. I don’t recall seeing any other test patterns.

Patterns ate Generators and i’ve never heard of any test pattern generator or FC apart of the Bars.
Which kind of pattern are you looking for?

I’m looking SMPTE-RP-219 bars

The only other color bars I can find under the Generators pull down (Bars & Tone>More Bars & Signals) look to be just a set of full frame color bars. No HD 16×9 bars available similar to SMPTE-RP-219. That seems to be the only choice. If you know anyone with a Sony HDXDCam, you could possibly grab a High Rez still from it. The bars from that camera are very similar to what you are looking for.

did you ever figure this out? I need some of those bars for a layoff tomorrow.

No I never did find them. I even tried calling a company that manufactures these bars. What I did do, was download them from google images but when I put them on scopes they were off. I tried to fix them in Photoshop but it didn’t really work. Maybe you could put them through a legalizer but I remember there was an issue with the blacks being too black and the whites being too white.

Hi mike,
Whatever you get from Google, a pic of a HD signal or so, will be RGB. What you need is YUV (Y’CbCr).
Synthetic Aperture used to have a Test pattern generator:https://www.synthetic-ap.com/products/tpm/index.html
But I don’t think has been updated.
