<div>I don't know if they are threaded or not, but I found out that having the scopes open in image viewer really slow down the computing time. To be honest when doing a primary to bring the footage at a neutral stage (white balance, saturation, ...) I pretty much only look at the RGB waveform and the Vector Scope. (never trust what I see in the image viewer output). </div>
<div>Moving a param in my comp (which basically have only one input, one RGB curves and one viewer, and waiting 1 or 2 sec for everything to update is not really efficient. </div><div>I wonder if that cannot be faster ?</div>
<div><br></div><div>- <b>Fine tuning is impossible</b></div><div>adding a point in the RGB curve and moving it slightly with the mouse to adjust white balance is really challenging and almost impossible to get perfect. perhaps there is shortcut to move the selected point which I'm not aware of.</div>
<div>A suggestion would be to not limit the zoom in the compositor and be able to scale the nodes as much as we want to have a more accurate values on those. </div><div>Another suggestion would be to display the coord of the selected point where we can enter some values ? </div>
<div><br></div><div>- <b>Min/Max of waveform are difficult to see</b></div><div>the 3 lines on the right of a waveform defines the max and min of each channels. a good way to start to white balance your footage is by trying to have those 3 lines on the same level. Right now they are kind of hard to see. I don't know if we can make them bigger or find a better display for it</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>That's it so far, I don't know if you have ideas or suggestions on how to improve those.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>cheers, </div><div><br></div><div>
