• If a color is oversaturated, the color saturation limit can be clearly recognized.
When large areas of the image are oversaturated, the corresponding color
saturation limit is white.
Cases for using the vectorscope
Check image material for tinting
Tinting in the image material can be recognized when the "cloud" tends to a particular
direction.
Calibrating cameras with the help of recorded test patterns
Note: The calibration has to be performed separately for each movie situation.
1. Record a calibrated test chart.
2. Transfer recorded video to MAGIX Video Pro X6.
3. Make any necessary adjustments using the video effects until the color values
of the test chart are correctly displayed in the vectorscope.
Detecting color oversaturation
If the image material on the video monitor is strongly oversaturated, the "cloud" will
tend to form in the outer area of the color circle. When the oversaturation is strong,
the color space limits will cut the "cloud" in half.
If you reduce the color saturation, the result of the effect will be updated in realtime.
Check compatibility of color values
To ensure compatibility with industry standards, the color values should not exceed
the color space limits. Areas in the image with oversaturated colors can be recognized
in the vectorscope at points that lie on the outside of the color space limits.
