Using Video Scopes
DaVinci Resolve has a set of four real-time video scopes that you can use to monitor the internal
data levels of clips in your project as you work. Each scope provides an unambiguous graphical
analysis of the various characteristics of the video signal, showing you the relative strength and
range of individual color components including luma, chroma, saturation, hue, and the red,
green, and blue channels that, together, comprise the color and contrast of the images in
your program.
To open video scopes from the Media, Cut, Edit, Color, or Deliver pages,
do one of the following:
Choose Workspace > Video Scopes > On/Off (Command-Shift-W) to open video
scopes into a floating window.
Choose Workspace > Dual Screen > On to open video scopes as part of a
dual screen layout.ut.
Video scopes in a floating window
The video scopes aren’t just available in the Color page. They’re also available in the Media,
Cut, Edit, and Deliver pages for whenever you need to evaluate the video signal more
objectively, such as when you’re setting up to capture from tape or scan from film, or when
you’re setting up for output.
For more information on using the video scopes, see Chapter 113, “Using the Color Page.
Floating Timecode Window
A Timecode Window is available from the Workspace menu on every page except Fusion.
Choosing this option displays a floating timecode window that shows the timecode of the Viewer
or Timeline that currently has focus. This window is resizable so you can make the timecode
larger or smaller.
A new floating timecode window is available
