  • What 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.

    This by and far away the best explanation of these concepts I've ever seen. I feel like I've fully wrapped my head around it now. Thank you so much!

    @MrTerryRay1 3 года назад +2

    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!

    I've been trying to get a grasp on this for about 2 years now. I was close, but would have to spend way too much time trying to get things just right. I wish I would have found this when you first put it out. You just saved me a ton of time. Thanks!

  • @stevelewis7284

    I am relatively new to using a waveform monitor and did a quick RUclips search to see what I can find!! Wow! What an incredible and well done video that was easy enough to follow but advanced enough to be of good value. That is not easy to do, or to do well, but Javier knocked it out of the park!!!! Thanks for taking the time to do this!!!

  • @TheArberndt

    Great job on this one, I've probably watched 10 of these tutorials but this one was the one that made it make sense. Adding masks to demonstrate different parts of the waveform was genius!

  • @LawrenceKaneshiro
    @LawrenceKaneshiro 2 года назад

    I have watched several of your videos, and now that you asked; YES I love you teaching style. Keep up the good work. As for future videos on color, a deeper dive on how to use these tools to color grade. I understand this was an introduction to the color tools available, now we need to learn how to use these tools. Perhaps you have already done that, I will look for it. Otherwise I look foreword to watching it. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🖖🏼

    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.

  • @EatBuildRideRepair
    @EatBuildRideRepair 3 года назад +15

    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 is a fantastic video Javier! I really appreciate the graphics you created to explain the concepts of bit depth.
    I would be interested in more videos on the Lumetri scopes but using real-world examples and recommendations for target IRE (ie. different skin tones, talking head/tutorials vs. cinematic - what are some ideal ranges to aim for). I would also love to see how you use the scopes to judge colour temperature/tint/saturation for correction before you add your grade.
    Keep up the fantastic work - one of my favourite new channels to recommend!!
