- Let's learn about the Vectorscope, how it is used, how it can make your videos look better, and give you lots of info to set up your camera properly. Note: Not watching my videos had been known to make the sun explode. Don't make the sun explode. 🙂 Check below for more info! 👇
A VECTOR is a math thing that says: we have a something, and it has a magnitude - like how much. A SCOPE is an instrument for viewing or observing something. You know microscope, a device for view small things (micro).
A VECTORSCOPE measures color (the something) and how much we have (its intensity).
The VECTORSCOPE shows RED, YELLOW, GREEN, CYAN, BLUE, and MAGENTA, the primary colors you would see when light is run through a prism. Anything white, black, or gray (not a color) sits in the middle of the scope as a white dot.
The VECTORSCOPE is THE tool for determining if your colors are correct or not. It ONLY deals with actual color and its intensity.
The VECTORSCOPE also has a MAGIC LINE that shows skin or flesh tone. The red blood under the skin (which we all have), is what this line measures. If you film someone and isolate their skin in the shot their skin tone will fall at or near this line. That makes color balancing, especially when people are in the shot, a piece of cake.

After many hours and 4:55 of UA-cam I finally got my head around this tool and how to correct skin tones. Thanks for this great video!
thx
The perfect start to my day! If I learn nothing else today, then at least I know now a bit more of how to use a vectorscope. Thanks!
And your kind comment, the first, is a great way to start mine. Thanks you Steve. √
I've been a corporate videographer/editor for over 5 years now. I really wish someone could have explained it this easily to me at the beginning. It would have made life so much easier. I really enjoy how you explain things. You're a great educator! Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
This is perfect! Straightforward and precise, thank you!
I've heard a lot of people talk about vectorscopes on YT and not once has anyone ever explained how the one line could cover all the skin tones and I have asked the question a number of times. Now I have my answer. Thanks. 🙂👍
Thank you Gene! :)
I wish I could like this 10 more times! Aweosme!
groovy.... i learned something as well as having been sufficiently teased to learn more!
Sweet! :)
Vectorscopes are our friend, and a super useful tool!
I was in a proto-retro-avante garde proggressive-minimalist 48-piece acoustic New Wave symphonic band named "Vectorscope" back in the 80's.
Fun fact: it is VERY hard to play an acoustic synth...
LOL! Acoustic Synth. :)
Kevin, you'll never guess what pre-roll ad played before this video. It starts with a "c" and you love it. 😲 Ha ha when you were saying the hex code for pure white, I thought you were censoring yourself. 😜
No way!!! Stupid UA-cam. #FFFFFF. Censor. 😂
Good video man keep up the good work
Thank you!!
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
I really appreciated this video - cleared up a big mystery for me! Thanks!
Music to my ears.THANK YOU! 👍
