scopes in fcp vs color finesse
following up a post from Walter Biscardi where he mentions that he found the FCP vectorscope to be very accurate I wonder if anyone else has noticed or can explain why both the vectorscope and waveform monitor in FCP and color finesse (on my system)seem to display different values. Checking both with bars they both seem accurate.

I think Walter was referring to an HD scope but nonetheless I have also found that in SD the fcp scopes to be quite accurate, certainly within a couple of units. Having worked on some broadcaster systems who have tek scopes I found there to be no difference either in chroma or luma. As for the color finesse scope I have also found those to be quite accurate and really more user friendly than most outboard new generation scopes. I think the color finesse plug in for both fcp and ae are outstanding values. I can’t recall if color finesse has primary and secondary color correctors but bit depth is great and flexibility is amazing. It has far better quality if you are working in a 32 bit space in AE though versus the FCP world. So if you have a single shot or a short number of shots then do them in AE
(I digress) The scopes in both are quite accurate but the fcp one lack the ability of constant update however I think the guys at ripple training had a tip to watch it in full update modebest
