Like luma zebra stripes, the Waveform on the upper right displays the IRE values of all the pixels in the frame, with values shown in their approximate position in the frame. ScopesĮvery shooter has his or her favorite scopes mine are shown in Figure 3 (below). Once you've got focus and preliminary exposure under control, it's time to fine tune your image. You can also add a graphic in the preview-say, to simulate the appearance of a lower-third title. Not shown are the audio meters, which provide a much bigger view than the meters on a typical camcorder. The rule of thirds tic-tac-toe board, sadly not available on many camcorders, is also showing, along with the blue center guides. In Figure 2 you can see the peaking controls helping assist my focus or you can display the image at 200% of actual for a focus-assisting closeup. In Figure 1, the brightness (called Luma in the Interface) zebras were set to 70, so my daughter's face is pretty well exposed. I would have preferred two sets of brightness zebras like OnLocation, so you could configure one for the face (70 IRE) and one for whites (100 IRE), though you can configure the IRE values so easily that it's not really an issue. The preview window has two sets of zebra stripes, one for brightness and one for colors. The Preview window with rule of thirds and action/title safe guides.
#SOMETHING LIKE SCOPEBOX FOR THE PC MAC#
I was working on an 8-core Mac Pro, though, so responsiveness may vary depending upon the speed of your computer.įigure 2. Unlike the version I tested back in 2008, display on the computer was just slightly behind the camera's LCD, so you can actually use ScopeBox's preview window ( Figure 2, below) to frame and position your camcorder. When shooting in an environment with room for a computer, ScopeBox's first benefit is a much larger preview window than your camcorder's 3.5" LCD.
