Chapter 13 Color correction 427
Even if your project is not intended for broadcast, using the video scopes is an
important part of your workow. If the monitors you’re using don’t display color
accurately or you’ve been working with the same clips for a while, you can easily get
used to seeing a color cast or blacks that are not quite right. The scopes provide exact
measurements of the luma and chroma levels of your clips so that you can make more
informed decisions about adjusting Final Cut Pro color correction settings.
