Video Scope Calibration

I have started to map some of the information from this post to these topics:

Video Scopes

Shotcut contains various video scopes to help with color adjustment and picture validation. [2DQCkEkW_o] The video scopes represent the picture from the preview player. The preview player always displays as YUV 4:2:0. As a result, the representation in the scope does not necessarily represent the original source material. Nor does it necessarily represent what will be in the final export file. Format Conversions Shotcut manipulates images by applying various services (filters, transitions, p…

Video Waveform Scope

Shotcut provides a video waveform scope to aid in setting video levels. [image] See Video Scopes for general information about video scopes. The waveform scope displays graticules for 100 and 0 IRE. These graticules are hard fixed to a Y value of 16 = 0 IRE and a Y value of 235 = 100 IRE. These assignments are not user configurable. While IRE is technically an analog video construct, it is included in this scope as a familiar and useful indicator for video levels.

Feedback or contributions are welcome.
