Hi all,

Greetings from the Great Land Down Under…

I am a bit hesitant to use the Premiere Pro CC (PPCC) scopes.

First, I’m working in PAL. I have a graphic of 100% (EBU) bars. When I bring it into my… OK, I’m going to use the “A”-word, my Avid, the Waveform monitor in the Colour Correction tools shows black at 0% (0mV)and white at 100% (700mV) which is just what I would expect. When I look at the same bars in PPCC, the white bar is reading below 100% and the black bar above 0%. Now I get it because in PPCC, white is 255 and black is 0 which is all well and good for full-range RGB world but not helpful when having to deal with broadcast limits. Is there a way to have the PPCC waveform scale display 0mV – 700mV?

Ideally I’d like to have a warning system in PPCC which displayed when my luminance, composite and RGB gamut limits were being violated rather than having to use a rather inelegant “limiter” on an adjustment layer.

Cheers,

Dave Forsyth
