The scopes all worked as desired and I had a bunch of things open at once with no problems on my Mac G5. Quicktime movies were also easy to bring in as well as stills, although I couldn't figure out a way to import stills and had to use the drag and drop method. While I didn't try to bring them up at the same time, the program allows you to do multicam shoots. It recognized both my Sony HDV camera and my Panasonic miniDV camera without a problem. Scopebox 2.0 performed very well for me once I got the hang of it. Some of the many scopes and previews you can bring up in Scopebox 2.0. ( I seem to learn better from color pictures, as you may guess from my color-centric commentary in this review.) To learn more about color correction and what all the scopes do I recommend the book, Color Correction for Digital Video by Steve Hullfish and Jaime Fowler (CMP Books).
#Scopebox manual pdf
The included PDF manual gives a pretty good overview of what the various scopes do and is simple and clear with nice color pictures. (I only do sound when I have to but I'm sure this will make your sound guy happy.) As a visual filmmaker it gives me a quick, very colorful (I like things in color) way to monitor my sound acquisition. It also features up to 8 channels of sound and has several different scales of -12db,-14db and -20db, which I understand are common ranges for dialogue, sound effects, and music. With the large colorful VU meter palette activated in Scopebox 2.0, I can see where the peaks are and how close I am getting. My issues was that I have trouble figuring out what the onscreen meters on the Panasonic actually mean, as I like things to turn red when there is trouble and something is getting cropped. The film was shot by Michelle Farrel on the Panasonic HVX200.
