Vectorscope Brightness

PostTue Oct 03, 2023 9:27 am

I'm running Davinci Resolve Studio 18.6. Is there anyway to increase the brightness of the vectorscope trace? I've cranked the vectorscope (setting right above Graticule) as high as I can but it's still not visible enough to really utilize it in this case.

Thanks. I should have mentioned that I did that. It doesn't show any brighter than this though.

Vectorscope also shows the intensity of the color, meaning if it's faint, it's not a saturated color.
To show what I mean, add one of the generators (SMPTE color bar or one of the BT.2111 bars), Head to Color page and you'll see the vectorscope have spots for the colors.

Thanks. If I tweak the saturation the spikes representing the colors get longer. That's what I expected. What can I tweak to make them brighter. I've got my calibrite color checker in a highlighted mask and I'm trying to ensure the spikes within the vector scope are aligned correctly, but the trace shown in the scope is so faint. So what increases the "intensity"?

The scopes brightnes / intensity is always relative to the entire image. you are viewing a super small area of the entire image. Most the image now is grey (due to the highlight mode)
That's why the very few colored pixels only show up a little bit on the scopes.

Increase the scale of those pixels and the scope will show more intensity.

Ok, hmmm, that's hard to do. I kind of wish the scopes would fully adapt to the highlighted area in this case.
