[Feature Request] RGB Vectorscope

[ItsJustTee]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes we never know how RGB Correct our videos are and thats where this feature comes in

Describe the solution you'd like
This feature allows the user to monitor the RGB of the video and therefor using Effects to correctly balance the colors of the video to perfection.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Now you could go and use the Project Monitor to look at the colors but this should be useful

Do you know any libraries or sources that can help the Olive Team include the feature?
None that i know

Additional context
This is what a RGB Vectorscope looks like :

1. This isn’t a vectorscope. This is a waveform.
2. Vectorscopes are extremely challenging to handle properly in a managed pipeline.
3. “Balancing” is also a little tricky, given that proper pixel handling on your input imagery, from something such as a GH5, an X-T3, an A6500 etc. is handled via the proper colour transform at ingestion.

It’s a kettle of fish to handle properly and correctly.

RGB waveform is the easiest target here. The rest require a little more flexible development and options.

Alright Understood

That's an RGB parade. Waveform monitor is slightly different. I really hope scopes do get implemented into Olive. This is a major feature for professional editors and most if not all NLEs have advanced color monitoring tools. Kdenlive currently has the main ones implemented. Could this be used as a source for something in Olive? [image: Screenshot_2019-05-28_06-47-23.png]

Go to B&H and buy an RGB Parade monitor. Or would you be buying a waveform monitor? Or wait, is a waveform capable of displaying both RGB and luma off the SDI and displaying it as a literal waveform? Asking for a friend.

Wait, you come to correct a post that a waveform isn’t a waveform, then you barf up KDEnlive with no pixel management at all. 🤯

RGB Parade and waveform scopes have different utilities in the context of software NLEs. Olive needs these before it can really be considered complete.

Please do go on...

I’d be very interested in the software you are using that you handled your colour appropriately the whole pixel chain, and as such, could rely on your waveforms.

Also, nice work on avoiding the answer “They are rendered as waveforms, hence they are a waveform.” It makes your sealioning all the more relevant. Also thanks for the education that different waveform modes have different purposes. What else would you like to teach the ignorant masses? Do go on...
