This is one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of editing. This goes hand-in-hand with people not calibrating their monitors but rather setting levels to whatever looks good on their setup. Then they complain that their colours or brightness etc is wrong on someone else’s TV. Some of them even adjust the TV to match their video. Wrong on so many levels. The use of scopes and the reason they are important needs to be driven home more and more to people who want to take their editing seriously. One little bit of trivia: those little square boxes on the vectorscope correspond to each colour in your standard colour bars image. If you put proper colour bars up on your screen the trace pattern will connect up the dots perfectly. Also if you drew a line around from box to box to form a sort of lopsided octagon shape, the colour saturation levels should not go outside of any of the line segments. Kind of a weird description, but the best I could come up with at the moment.

Couldn't agree more Randy. Ah great to know! I didn't realize connecting them formed a sort of 'maximum saturation' perimeter. Thanks for that 👊

Hello Dylan, thank's for your excellent explanation. Can you explain one thing. My luma levels are fine, everything between 0 and 100 . But at the same time my RGB parade the blue's are often far below 0 point. In your tutorial at 40 seconds you can see what i mean. Also there the blue is far below 0. I have tried everything to get it right but no results. When I lower the color it will help but then there is no color. I hope you have the answer. It's driving me crazy. Cheers Richard

@dylanjohndickerson

4 жыл бұрын

Hey Richard! You're very welcome. So don't worry about identifying whether your shot is the correct exposure by using the RGB Parade. The RGB parade shows the distribution of color components in your shot, displayed as Red, Green, and Blue. Use the luma waveform to determine if your exposure is correct, since that scope is designed for determining the brightness of your shot. If your shot is showing correct values between 0 and 100 IRE when looking at the Luma Waveform, then you're in the clear.

When using the RGB overlay and looking at skin tones, is our goal to have the red, green, and blue lines all overlap with each other to have the right white balance?

@dylanjohndickerson

2 жыл бұрын

For the most part, yes. But not always. It's better to find something in your shot that's gray or white and use that as a reference point to line up the RGB values on the RGB Overlay.

@dylanjohndickerson

2 жыл бұрын

@@J_bui Try and find a neutral color and use that as a reference point. But the reason that this isn't always 100% accurate is because if your shot is taken, let's say, at sunset, then your RGB overlay should be showing an increase in Red values on the RGB overlay. Trying to overlap the colors in that instance would take out that natural orange glow from the shot. Even during sunsets though, skin should be pretty close or on the skin tone line on the vectorscope. Try and use that as a reference point.

@dylanjohndickerson

4 жыл бұрын

@@NicoManansala Ah gotcha, that's what I thought. So I'm not sure why it's showing that some cameras only have 75. That shouldn't be right. But how it works is you shouldn't extend your brightness past 100 IRE on that line or you blow your highlights and it's not safe for broadcast. Bringing your shadows down crushes your blacks. The reason there's that 120 line is to indicate appropriate levels for chroma values/color. So for example if you have your RGB Parade up, you don't want any one of those color values to extend lower than -20 or higher than that 120. As for the 112, a buddy of mine clued me in that you can move that line, which I never realized. We both assume it's to mark maybe the correct IRE for your subjects skin or possibly to just mark a specific value you'd like something in your shot to be. Does all of that make sense?
