As you explore the powerful tool now in your hands, you might guess that it could only have been created by passionate video enthusiasts. We built DV Rack first and foremost because it's a tool we wanted to use ourselves. [. . . ] In some cases, video brightness can reach up to 110% but in most circumstances, a 100% setting is sufficient. Using Zebra to identify light areas: 1. Click the Zebra 1 or 2 button. · If you see the zebra pattern, the video may be too bright in these areas. You can close your camera iris down to reduce the brightness in your video. You can also try reducing the amount of lighting on the scene or adjusting other camera settings such as gain, shutter speed, or neutral density (ND) filter. · If you don't see a zebra pattern, either you don't have any areas that are too bright or your zebra thresholds are set too low. Lower the Zebra value to increase the pattern's light sensitivity. Click the Zebra button again to turn it off. Using Zebra to identify dark areas: Dark Zebra makes it possible for you to introduce strong shadows into a scene but still have confidence that enough detail remains in the desired areas to still resolve an image. Click Zebra 1 or 2 Value and drag the to the darkness level you want to manage. 4. In the Field Monitor, evaluate your picture and look for Zebra patterned areas as you adjust lighting, camera and composition. · If you see a zebra pattern, evaluate these parts of your picture to make sure you are getting the level of darkness that you want. · If you don't see a zebra pattern, either you don't have any areas that are too dark or your zebra thresholds are set too low. It allows you to see what you are shooting more accurately than the human eye. You can evaluate the light and dark parts of your scene and use that information to make adjustments to your camera in real time to improve the accuracy of the video your camera produces. The naked eye, viewing video on a monitor, is not a very reliable source of information about your video signal. Our eyes and brain make adjustments to what we see, making us unconsciously forgiving of poor lighting. To make matters worse, the viewfinder and LCD screens found on many camcorders do not accurately reproduce colors, brightness and framing. Some of these LCD screens are little better than those found on a Game Boy®. The Waveform monitor allows you to see what is happening with the light and shadow in your picture in a more objective, consistent and measurable way. It shows you exactly how white your white is and how black your black is, enabling you to determine the best exposure and lighting for every situation. Serious Magic DV Rack Field Guide 25 The Waveform Monitor Settings Y ­ Displays the brightness value of the video signal. Signals at the bottom of the scope are black, and signals at the top of the scope are white. (See description below. ) B-Y - Shows just the blue channel. All of the Waveform modes except for Luma display video information from left to right. The far left portion of the waveform corresponds to the far left portion of the video etc. [. . . ] The next time that you watch a Hollywood feature film, take note of how often you see shots that zoom in or out. If you want your video to look more like Hollywood and less like a home movie, try to resist the urge to zoom unless absolutely necessary. A slow zoom-in or out to establish a scene, followed by static shots, is an appropriate use of a zoom. This usually means panning slightly up or down to maintain the talent's eye line during the move. [. . . ]
