Scopes allow you to precisely monitor the color of your project, to help with making color corrections and ensure that color ranges fall within specified standards. This is important to ensure that colors are accurately reproduced when the finished program is broadcast later. The actual colors in your video can vary based on the display they are viewed on, and how the color of that display is calibrated. But scopes will always give you accurate color info, to ensure that the colors fall within established standards regardless of the hardware used to make color adjustments.
For full details of the primary built-in scopes in HitFilm Pro, see the Introducing Scopes page of this manual.
In addition to the scopes built into HitFilm Pro, which always display data based on the image in the viewer, scopes are also provided as effects. Any scope can be added into the effects stack for a layer at any point, to accurately evaluate the color data at that point in the effects stack.
There are four types of scopes available. Each is explained in detail on its own page.
Playback Update
Scopes can be disabled during playback by toggling the Playback Update check box. Disabling scopes can significantly improve frame rates during playback.
