Use WFM during Zoom meeting

PostThu Feb 04, 2021 3:07 pm

I'm doing some remote shooting, I have a capture card taking the HDMI signal from my camera so I can use it instead of a laptop camera for a Zoom meeting. I need to monitor the live video with a WFM and wonder if I can use DR's waveform monitor to look at video levels during the live Zoom meeting. Is this possible in Resolve? I do not need to record the Zoom meeting, just monitor it.

thanks,

I don't think that's possible.

But for Zoom, I'm also questioning the need.

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.

I'd like to use the WFM to make sure the 4K camera's video levels are where I want them. The image quality on Zoom is poor and I can't tell much from the image coming through.

What brand is your capture card?..... if its a Blackmagic unit then You can monitor in Resolve using the Resolve Live option.
It's used for on-set grading.

Thanks for your help. I did find a simple WFM that runs on Windows and Linux, the software is called Scopes and I found it on the gumroad.com site. There's also a Mac WFM call Scopebox but I haven't tried that out myself.

cheers,

Thomas
