waveform/vectorscope

[Michael Thomson]

Hi

Open the video imput tool. push the buttons to expand it to show the vectorscope and waveform then click in either the source or record monitor. once you’ve clicked in one the graphic display in the video input tool will reflect whats in that monitor.

i don’t think xpress pro 4.6 has a video input tool. i know media composers do, but never saw one in xpress pro, unless i’m looking in the wrong place. where should i look? plus after reading the manual, it seems i can only access it in Color correction mode, which is not what i want.
thanks

You’ll need to get external scopes.
I would have thought by now there would be a realtime plug in for this but to my knowledge, 3-promg is the only one addings scopes. They have to be rendered though, and it’s displayed on your NTSC monitor. 🙁

I remember 10 years ago wondering why there were no windows for scopes measuring output.
…still wondering.

Yeah, me too. I have wondered a lot why sometimes they throw in “useless” features and not some kind of vectorscope monitoring. Not everyone can afford a

I hope to have a pilot worthy of pitching in a couple of months. Not a Monster garage type of show… more of a show about car enthusiasts themselves.
I’ve always dug cars and have always loved video. Just makes sense for me to be makin’ car videos, man.

Tektronix makes a software WFM/Vectorscope plug-in for NLE systems. It’s a bit pricey, but you get the same functionality as on their hardware scopes. But all software scopes (even those built into Avid) use lots of CPU horsepower, so they aren’t ideal for real time monitoring.
