Vectorscope (advanced)

effects-vectorscope_advanced-2504.webp

Description

This effect/filter draws and overlays a vectorscope of the video data. Compared to the Vectorscope effect it offers parameters to control the display mode and a few other things.

This is different from the Vectorscope from the Ansichtsmenü because the Effect version writes the vectorscope into the output video, whereas the View Menu version displays the vectorscope in a separate widget while you still can preview your project.

Parameters

Parameter

Value

Description

Mode

Selection

Set the vectorscope mode. See below for available options.

Tint 1 / Tint 2

Float

Set color tint for gray/tint vectorscope mode. By default both options are zero. This means no tint, and output will remain gray.

X / Y

Integer

Set which color component will be represented on X / Y axis

Intensity

Float

Set intensity used by modes gray, color, color3 and color5 for increasing brightness of color component which represents frequency of (X, Y) location in graph

Envelope

Selection

Set whether the scope draws an edge or not and how the edge behaves. See below for available options.

Graticule

Selection

Set what kind of graticule to draw. See below for available options.

Graticule Opacity

Float

Set graticule opacity

Graticule Flags

Selection

Set graticule flags. See below for available options.

Background Opacity[1]

Float

Set background opacity

Low Threshold

Float

Set low threshold for color component not represented on X or Y axis. Values lower than this value will be ignored. Default is 0. Note this value is multiplied with the actual max possible value one pixel component can have. So for 8-bit input and low threshold value of 0.1 the actual threshold is 0.1 * 255 = 25.

High Threshold

Float

Set high threshold for color component not represented on X or Y axis. Values higher than this value will be ignored. Default is 1. Note this value is multiplied with the actual max possible value one pixel component can have. So for 8-bit input and high threshold value of 0.9 the actual threshold is 0.9 * 255 = 230.

Color Space

Selection

Set what kind of color space to use when drawing graticule

The following selection items are available:

Color 2

Color 3

Color 4

Color 5

Envelope

None

default

Instant

Even darkest single pixel will be clearly highlighted

Peak

To hold maximum and minimum values presented in graph over time (this way you can still spot out-of-range values without constantly looking at the vectorscope)

Peak+Instant

For peak and instant envelope combined together

Graticule

None

Color

default

Green

Graticule Flags

White

Draw graticule for white point

Black

Draw graticule for black point

Name

Draw color points short names (default)
