green check mark vs. yellow caution sign

[Jeremy Garchow]

That means that you have illegal whites, or whites that are above the ‘legal limit’ for broadcast.

[Todd Reid]

the green check means that everything is within “legal” limits.
The yellow is telling you that you have some excess luma values.
On the screen the green lines mean that these sections are nearing “illegal” limits
and red lines mean that you might want to knock them down if you plan to broadcast your timeline.
You can toggle this on/off under overlay settings/show excess luma.
I’d suggest turning it on only when needed, since overlays can sometimes cause color shifting and dropped frame issues on some systems.

thanks. good info. i’ve added the “broadcast filter”, but nothing changed, even after tweaking many of the settings…

thanks for helping out a bonehead,
