Waveform Monitor Explained - A Tool For Color and Exposure in Premiere Pro
Рет қаралды 97,893
Күн бұрынWhat exactly is the waveform monitor in Premiere Pro and how can it help with tasks like color correction and color grading? In this video I show you how to read and use the Lumetri Scopes Luma waveform, RGB waveform, RGB Parade, and YC Waveform monitors. I also give a couple tips to help you with the exposure of your videos as well as explain color bit depth.

I've been trying to get my head around colour for a long time. I understand and use the scopes and waveforms, but this just took it to a whole new level. Thanks for taking the time to explain what things mean and why certain numbers are used. I notice this throughout the channel that one explanation isn't enough, there isn't one way to do things or see things and Javier shows you different methods to achieve the same end goal.

Sir, your content is amazingly high quality, considering that reaches only a very small amount of people. It's sad that quality does not mean higher view numbers. I want to thank you for these precise and well explained tutorials. If I can ask for a topic it would be the most underrrated one in the editor indusrty: the sound. It would be good to see some tutorial from you, about how to work like a pro with sound using premiere and audition, how to (easily) master a VO and deal with the bg music, how to edit "uhm"s, and "ahms" in the vo, and any other interesting tweaks regarding to the sound design. Sound and coloring are the two weak points in nearly every average video editors workflow.

This video has enlightened me so much that I feel that anyone I know who doesn't know how the Lumetri Scopes work are unfortunate peasants who deserve my pity. Very, very well explained- if you can get it through my head then pretty soon my dog will be able to do my editing gruntwork.

@MrTerryRay1 3 жыл бұрын
Yo Javier this was awesome! You answered so many simple questions I had about viewing waveforms that no one else had answered. I like that you explained about 8 bit and 10 bit and now it makes sense to me why someone would prefer a camera that records in 10 bit rather than 8 bit. For someone who feels week in the area of color, you sure learned a lot about it because you are able to explain it so well. Thanks and I look forward to your next video in this area. In the meantime I need to re-watch this video catch what I might have missed watching it the first time. Blessings!
