[Avid-L2] Re: Color Correction Scope problem Symphony 6.0

 

Steve,

I agree with you and Terry on the external scopes, but I have to tell you... A couple of weeks ago (in fact, right after I attended your presentation at Alpha Dogs), I was in a situation on-lining a show when the Tektronix scope took a dump at the beginning of the session. The rental company that supplied the system wasn't able to get a replacement for a couple of days, so I was forced to do most of the show using the internal Symphony scopes.
Two days later when the replacement finally arrived, I rechecked every shot and found that I didn't have to make a single adjustment.
So yeah, it's a PITA to have to rely on them, but in a pinch, they get the job done.

BTW, I was the guy who won a copy of your book in the raffle and got you to sign it. Thanks for that. The book is very helpful.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Color Correction Scope problem Symphony 6.0

In my setup (that I did not purchase myself, mind you), I use a Flanders
17" LCD. The built in scopes are decent and getting better all the time due
to firmware updates by FSI. It's fps refresh isn't a full 1:1, but it isn't
dependent on CPU, so it updates when you move sliders. The FSI also has a
handy alarm feature that can light up at over-IRE values. It works, too.
And a set of audio dBFs meters, and a phase scope, and an RGB parade, and
a...

Of course, in the machine room is a handy Tek 7000 which I rely on during
layoffs.

I'm not a heavy colorist, more of an online/QC guy, so what I'm using both
of these for is mostly checks and balances. YMMV...

Thanks Patrick. I'll take a look at building outboard scopes on the cheap as you suggest, since I have both my previous MacPro tower and a copy of Scopebox. If I can use them to construct an interim solution until I can afford a more robust one, that would be great.

And who's well-positioned to make a buck off internet TV? Comcast, Time Warner Cable, for two. Bandwidth caps and download quotas could become a much bigger deal. And those don't have to create any net-neutrality issues.

[Avid-L2] Re: OTish" Direct TV and Viacom Programming disruption?

 

After reading some articles it does seem the under toad here is the lack of a'la carte choices for viewers and distributors. As has been pointed out in this thread the internet distribution model is looking better and better when these kind of service interruptions happen. Even though Viacom has pulled the. Plug on new shows on the internet I read last night they are making an exception for the One Direction special on nickelodean.

You can put together a great set of external scopes for half that price
using Ultrascopes or Vidscopes. And almost half-again if you re-purpose on
an old Mac with Scopebox.

All those give you real-time processing, no line skipping. All with
multiple simultaneous scopes.

I just don't see any reasonable way to use only the Avid interface (no
external scopes, no external monitoring) for color grading - other than
education where learning the concepts is more important than executing
within a budget.

And yes, I'm seeing some of the bugginess described by the OP in MC6 and
Symphony 6. I'll click to a new shot and the grade from the previous shot
'sticks around'. Visual updating of internals scopes and monitoring is
non-existant until the mouse is released... and even then it takes a few
moments for the display to update. Yet the video card continually updates
the image (which suggests Avid wasn't designed to use the 3-up display on
its own).

Related to this is using the Avid Artist Color surface... does anyone else
agree that it is mostly useless in the HSL Offset tab?

I can't dial-in that damn surface to give me any kind of responsiveness
when making small moves - and it flies off the handle when making quick
moves. Very frustrating. Especially knowing how responsive and smooth it is
in Apple Color.

On the plus side: It is interesting how that surface controls Curves. It's
slower than using a mouse - which I find it gives me a bit more time to
think and see exactly where I'm passing through as I'm manipulating points.
I guess the Artist Color's value in Curves depends if you're in 'get it

Re: [Avid-L2] Color Correction Scope problem Symphony 6.0

 

Obviously, I'm with Terry on not using the internal scopes.

The internal scopes of Symphony/MC are especially hideous because even when they're working PROPERLY, they don't update AT ALL until you release the mouse. On some software, I know this is user selectable, so you can opt to use more horsepower on the scopes updating, but I don't think that's true with Avid. This updating thing can literally add HOURS to a show. I can do a correction with real scopes in 15 seconds that will take you 5 minutes to do. At some point the value of some external scope becomes evident unless your own professional time is nearly worthless. Over 4 years, a $6,000 scope at 50 weeks a year is only $30 a week... $6 a day! (And a scope should last for a lot longer than 4 years). So if that scope saves me a minute an hour it's paid for... obviously the math doesn't quite work out like that, but screwing up a single job in QC delivery can easily cost you that much alone in extra work, expense, shipping and lost client confidence.

If you're serious about color correction, you really need real scopes. The Avid ones are SOOO low res and small, without the ability to zoom or basically do anything that real scopes can do. Saying you can't afford $6 a day to be a professional sends a very clear signal.

[Avid-L2] Re: Color Correction Scope problem Symphony 6.0

 

I never use the copes in the Symphony, so I can't say for sure. But I can tell you everything is a bit laggy in V6 color correction mode. And windows in general can sometimes stick around before they refresh. So this doesn't surprise me at all. Remember, this is a V1 product, and I would stay in 5.5 unless there is something you REALLY need in 6.

Re: [Avid-L2] Color Correction Scope problem Symphony 6.0

 

This is probably just you.

I hate to say this, because everyone is probably sick of me giving the same advice over and over and over, but...

Have you tried creating a new User? It's very possible that your user settings are corrupt and that the only evidence of it is the "piling up of waveforms."

Start with that. I was just showing someone the scopes in Symphony yesterday on software-only and they worked... well I won't say perfectly, but I will say "like they're supposed to."

The other trouble shooting thing you'll have to give us is which OS you're using and which version of the OS. And a video card. And, I'm not sure that Radeon card is qualified, but I don't know for sure.

[Avid-L2] Color Correction Scope problem Symphony 6.0

 

Hey All,

So I'm trying to troubleshoot my new Symphony 6.0 Software only version, and it's been a tough slog.

Right now I'm facing a weirdness where my video scopes in Color Correction mode don't update properly. As I switch from shot to shot, the information "piles up" on top of the previous frame so instead of getting a clean look at each shot, I get an amalgamation of everything in the last four or five shots combined.

I can get it to refresh by switching between RGB Parade and Y Waveform, or into Vectorscope. But if I leave any one of these up and keep working, pretty soon they're useless until I do the manual "refresh" trick.

Anyone else facing this issue? Any suggestions or workarounds? I really need my scopes to work so I can color correct, and right now they're not working.

Just for reference, I'm on a 2.4GHz 12 core running 10.7.4 with 32 GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon 5770.

Thanks.
