Scopes?

[Kim Krause]

in a grading application, the scopes should always be on…whats the point of having them off? maybe making them smaller or bigger to help with screen real estate but i cant see the point in having them off!

[Christopher Adams]

Kim as for grade on / off It took me a while to find it.but if you happen to have a wave its up and down arrow. Or if you get some kind of mapped button external usb box that lets you map keystrokes to a button for example You can set that to up and down arrow. Hell even a cheap gaming controller with macro buttons might work. Least that lets you create shortcuts for many of the functions.

I know several of us (myself included) that use the Logitech G13 for just that purpose. Works great with Resolve, and now most of my favorite functions are a single button hit. Quite a time saver.

Kim, I think the option is there if you have external hardware scopes. Since having scopes slows down processing, no reason to have them on if you have an external scope setup.

[Vladimir Kucherov]

Yes, this is my experience also. It especially happens if the focus is on the scope window.

I use the scopes on a second monitor. I would love to have them in one combined window that you can resize or say fit to screen. They seem picky.

If you look how i have the scopes in the “scopes and control surface” picture you will see what I mean.

if you have external scopes…and if you dont? thats why a second display for scopes is so great….

[Kim Krause]

how can you see the scopes when they’re tucked away behind the gui monitor…like the idea of stacking them tho!

[Kim Krause]

i map often used controls to one of my 4 buttons on my wacom….one is fro grade on or off toggle, another for moving around the different rooms in color, etc…its very handy to have often used buttons at your fingertips. i also find using the magic trackpad for sliding around on the time line very useful….

Oh that’s easy! I do 90% from the tangent panel over on the left. When I sit there scopes are right where I want them. Only time I need to be infront of the davinci controls is to do the few thing like points on a power window or such. Basically things I can’t do from the panel. Now if I could hit a key and make one of the trackballs be
A hsl selection and also a mouse mode then I would be very happy!
