Is DV25 411 equal to 1-1?

I don’t see a hidden triangle dropdown with these options on my home Xpress Pro. I will look for it on my Xpress at work.

Thanks,

Okay, open the Color Correction Toolset. Each of the three monitors has a title, eg. “Current” or “Reference” that shows what it displays.

Click on the title of the monitor where you want to see your scopes, and you’ll get a list of what you can display. Choose whatever you want…

Got it! Thank goodness, I thought I was becoming a vegetable! I was looking in the wrong place entirely. Mine only display on still frames, not with moving picture. Is that how it goes? I see why you need external scopes.

Unfortunately, yes. I don’t know if there’s an NLE out there that displays scopes live while you play and that are accurate. Even with the broadcast safe limiter it’s best to use external scopes, in case there’s a bug in the software or something just slips through.

IT will at least update as you scroll. Not as good as live playback, but not bad…

Thanks P-Boy, I figured that was what you get. BTW, where can I find that broadcast safe limiter effect?

FCP 5.1 and up display live scopes that sample full raster (provided your CPU is fast enough)..they are pretty accurate, though I wouldnt throw out your outboard scopes.
