Andrew Devis looks at using the often forgotten ColorFinesse VectorScope in After Effects for a graphical representation of the chrominance values of footage. Check out the tutorial for Understanding and Using the VectorScope in After Effects here.
The vectorscope is a powerful tool to help users get a graphical representation of the chrominance values of their footage instead of just having to rely on their eyes because – as we all know – our eyes don’t always tell us the whole truth when it comes to dealing with color! Because the vectorscope is somewhat hidden in AE, it is sometimes overlooked, so in this tutorial, Andrew Devis shows how to find, set-up and use the vectorscope in AE to look at whole images as well as specific regions of interest.
