Jason Boone from Premium Beat demonstrates how to use the Lumetri Scopes panel in Adobe Premiere Pro to adjust color and exposure. The panel includes the vectorscope, the histogram, the waveform monitor and the parade scope. The vectorscope displays color saturation and hue, while the histogram, waveform monitor and parade scope display the intensity of an image.
Understanding how to read the video scopes will help guide your color corrections. Remember, any image color or exposure correction must be in accordance with current imagery ethics policy and DoDI 5040.02. Follow along with the steps below.
