The Waveform Monitor is, in many cases, a direct upgrade to the histogram. Sure, that can be helpful information, but we’ll get to the best tool for color measurement shortly.įor now, let’s look at another scope for exposure. (This will save you some headache down the road.)Ĭolor overlays on the histogram aren’t especially useful because you’re only seeing a representation of how bright your colors are. The “center” of the curve may move up or down depending on the light levels in the shot, but as a rule, keep an eye out for heavy clumping of tones toward your shadows and highlights. The histogram analyzes the frame and evaluates the total number of pixels reporting that Y value, and it plots each pixel at the proper point on the scope.Ī well-exposed histogram should typically look like a bell curve with the majority of the pixels falling in the comfortable mids, with soft gradation into the shadows and highlights. This helps you more clearly visualize the information - the top of the scope represents the highlights in your image, and the bottom represents your shadows.Įvery histogram breaks down into 256 sections, representing each Luminance (Y) value in Rec.709. In Premiere, the Histogram is rotated 90 degrees from its usual orientation. The histogram’s prevalence makes the ability to read one an essential skill.

Any modern prosumer or professional video camera, DSLR, or external recording device likely has a built-in histogram.

The most commonly used scope is the histogram. One quick note: if your computer is beefy enough, always make sure to turn off “Clamp Signal,” and set the color space to “Float.” These two settings will ensure that all of the information in your shot gets represented accurately in your scopes.

The four main scopes are simply bar or pie graphs that plot data points in various ways, depending on the intended use of the scope. While scopes look intimidating, it’s helpful to remember that they are just complicated, specialized graphs. Scopes vary slightly across applications, but the foundations of each will always be the same. In this article, we’ll take a look at the four major scopes, including how they work and when to use each one.įirst, for our exploration of scopes, we’ll be using Premiere Pro’s built-in Lumetri Scopes. Because human eyes are unreliable for accurately assessing color (because the brain adjusts the visual feed based on surroundings - not to mention that no two screens are exactly the same), scopes provide accurate information about color and exposure levels, so you can ensure that your footage looks great on any screen. Scopes are easily among the most important tools for anyone working with images or video. Scopes, on the other hand, give you accurate information every time. Human eyes are not reliable tools for assessing color.
