How do you set up your color scopes? The internal scopes in Resolve are very flexible and customizable.
The built-in scopes used to be limited to only a few scope possibilities, but the 9-scope view and other options now make them a powerful tool for video professionals.
For example, you can zoom in on the scopes, only view the shadows in the vector scope, look at a color waveform or only luminance.
In this video from longtime pro colorist Skipper Martin, you’ll learn about:
- Popping out scopes to a new window
- Using the 9-scope view
- Selecting which scopes are visible
- Zooming in on a scope
- Viewing only low, mid, or high rages in vectorscope
- Saving scope customization as a preset
