Layout Options in Video Scopes Tabs
You can choose which scopes and which video source appear in each Video Scopes tab
by using the following controls:
• Layout: Use this pop-up menu to choose one of eight different combinations of single
or multiple scopes for display in the Video Scopes tab. If you choose a single scope
from the list, it takes up the entire space of the Video Scopes tab, making it easier to
see. If you choose one of the multiple-scope layouts, all displayed scopes appear at a
reduced size so that they fit into the Video Scopes tab at the same time.
• View: Use the options in the View pop-up menu to select which frame is being analyzed
in the Video Scopes tab. Choose Current Frame to analyze the current frame at the
position of the playhead in the Canvas. Other options allow you to select various edit
points that are adjacent to the playhead in the currently selected sequence. You can
also choose the frame at the position of the playhead in the Viewer. Choosing None
turns off the scopes altogether.
One way to use this feature is to pair up separate windows with Video Scopes tabs and
Frame Viewer tabs, with each pair of windows set to display different edit points in
your sequence for purposes of comparison.
