Vectorscope is very useful when making color adjustments.
Displays the luminance (represented as green in the waveform) and chrominance (represented as
YC Waveform
blue) values in your clip.
Displays waveforms representing levels of the luminance and color difference channels in the digital
YCbCr Parade
video signal. Users comfortable with viewing YUV waveforms might consider using this scope when making color
and luminance adjustments.
