Video scope customizations?
I’m trying to re-learn Premiere after six years away in Final Cut land. I have to say for the most part I’m quite impressed, apart from the utter lack of Mackie Control integration and a few interface shortcomings. One thing that can’t get used to, though, is the presentation of Premiere’s scopes.
It’s bizarre enough that the background color defaults to dark brown. What’s worse is that I can’t find a way to adjust the saturation or brightness of the display (yes, you can adjust the intensity, but that doesn’t effect the brightness of the scales). These things look like a perfect recipe for eyestrain. Is there really no way to customize their appearance, or am I missing something obvious?

I got into the scopes yesterday and found them archaic. I spent a good amount of time trying to do the same thing, to no avail. Asking around and I came to the conclusion that the scopes can not be changed or altered.
Only tip I found was to run the scopes on a Reference Window, but there is no realtime scopes during playback.
Best thing I have been told is to make a feature request.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishformI am looping my SDI out through my monitor and into my capture bay mac with the BlackMagic PCI UltraScope, and mirroring that video back to my edit bay on the iPad. A stand alone scope would be cheaper (or not), but the capture bay runs all the time, and the scopes take no power to run. Other benifits are that I get scopes in Photoshop, and AE.
I have been doing this setup in FCP for a year now, so it’s just works for me. But, I would love to have better scopes in the application too.
