Why I LOVE These NEW Scopes! EASY to Balance Shots.

[@team2films]

Awesome video Darren. Loved the twin peaks demonstration.

[@NOIRGRADE]

@12:25 if this white edge is bugging you, you can actually disable it by clicking the ... menu on top of the viewer -> splitsceen -> show outline

[@DarrenMostyn]

OMG - I never knew that!! That is so good to know!! Wish I knew before recording this!! Thanks for sharing!

[@bigred7271]

It's 7:30 on a Friday night, and I'm watching (and enjoying) this. You are turning me in to a Colour nerd, and I thank you for it. Top chap.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Friday nights were made for this! Should have been out yesterday but too much work on!!

[@djvphotography]

Another great video with equally great examples of using the scopes. I can easily see why you like Nobe Omniscope.

[@DarrenMostyn]

I love my scopes!

[@photojoseph]

I learn something every time I watch your videos. Thanks mate!

[@DarrenMostyn]

My pleasure! Good to hear from you as always Joseph!

[@photojoseph]

@@DarrenMostyn I've just spent the last 30 minutes setting this up… it's freakin' amazing. Fortunately I have an Ultrastudio 4K Mini so I can loop the output through the input and get the direct processing without using another computer. This thing is wild!

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad you like it ! Ive just graded 600 shots so far today! The scopes are really helpful in heavy sessions like Im in today. Cheers, Have a good weekend, Darren

[@NOIRGRADE]

Omniscope is just great. simply the false color options allow so many possibilities, like monitoring peak nit values for HDR grading, showing oversaturation, showing black and white clipping. they're fantastic. the new twin peaks scope might need some time to get used to, but it sounds like an interesting concept.

[@DarrenMostyn]

yes its new to me, but I love it now its in my radar!

[@MarkToddOsborne]

Yes, ❤️ my Omniscope 😎

[@DarrenMostyn]

@@MarkToddOsborne Endorsement indeed! Hi Mark, I told you they were great when I met you last April, Glad you finally took the plunge! See you next year! Darren

[@pietervanderwal]

As always great content and thank you for the explanation of twin peaks in omniscoop 🌷🇾🇪

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thanks for watching!

[@RshainVFX]

Great video and super useful explanation of the double diamond style scopes!

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheFrankJanssens]

Thanks Darren. Recently bought the full license, always hesitated to buy because of the price.. But since i got it improves my work by a lot so worth the investment.

[@DarrenMostyn]

I wouldn't be without Omniscope!

[@matthewhartman7176]

Can you break that down in a percentage? How much do you wager omniscopes have increased your productivity? 10, 20, 30%...?

[@TheFrankJanssens]

@@matthewhartman7176 Hard to put it in numbers. But few months ago i decided to try to push all my abilities to the max, and this tool helps you too dive deeper and get better grades. So for me worth all the money.

[@DarrenMostyn]

I get better quality grading tools beyond the standard set in Resolve = quicker results for balancing and accuaracy AND a more pleasurable grading experience when Im in the suite for 9 hours a day.

[@HRCreativos]

Excellent tutorial! I loved how you explained the use of scopes, and that custom setup with NOBE Omniscope is a total game-changer. clarity, detail and extra control to take color grading to the next level!

[@RichBelgieJr]

Just found twin peak in our broadcast test gear and then saw it was in Omniscopes too. Such a great tool. Previously you needed something like our $25K test gear to see something like this.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Absoloutely - its an old school gem!

[@tianagrades]

Great to see how you use Omniscopes, very useful, thanks Darren

[@sureshbankar5958]

Thanks Darren

[@Frombehindthelens]

Great video Darren thank you for sharing 😊

[@DarrenMostyn]

Very welcome

[@Petarschannel]

Hey Darren, I just found your channel. I can only say that your videos are fantastic, very informative and I am having great time learning from you! I like your style, it is very easy to learn from a pro! Thanks!

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thank you Petar. Im pleased you found me too. Plenty more in my well curated Playlists. Enjoy! Darren.

[@graemetowner7257]

great video as always...love my omni scope, great set up. Would be good if would include the new Exposure EL zone system developed by Ed Lachman, false colour but showing as stops of light rather than IRE values...

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thanks Graeme, I love those EL zones too. Would be great.

[@stalman]

Silly question, how are you sending the video signal from back and forth with the scope only machine? HDMI cables in both directions?

[@DarrenMostyn]

SDI out of my ultrastudio 4k extreme on resolve machine to SDI in on ultrastudio 4k on scopes machine. You can connect HDMI if you want to

[@stalman]

@@DarrenMostyn great, thanks!

[@danaparker3491]

Wow! I have been using Tektronics Double Diamond Scope for the last 26 years. Glad to see this scope available in another product.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Me too!

[@theowlfromduolingo7982]

9:41 Hey, sorry if I didn't get it but I didn't understand why the twin peaks scopes needs the two diamond shapes and not just one.

[@DarrenMostyn]

middle is black - two peaks are white, rest is to allow all the hues to show...think of it like a split to allow to show the 3 RGB values.

[@jaemiem]

Well... Ahaha, that overlay method was enough to convince me to actually set TP up and start using it! Also, you can disable the outline in the viewer in split mode

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thanks. Yes someone else pointed out the outline tip too! Appreciated - I didn't know you could and Ive been on Resolve 15 years - always learning proven here!!!

[@Leslie.Bradley]

Looking at purchasing the omniscopes - As a beginner, i'm curious how you'd setup omniscopes whilst using a CST Davinci Wide Gamut/ Intermediate Workflow and Camera Groups. Where would i place the omniscopes node - last node on the timeline group/page? Do i need to change any of the input settings within omniscopes? What settings do i change within Resolve and Omniscopes when dealing with 8 bit, 10 bit or 12 bit footage. Thank You in advance!!

[@DarrenMostyn]

Hi. therte are really good and easy to understand guides on the time in pixels web site about how to use in Resolve different methods. Hope that helps.

[@JimRobinson-colors]

That's a great advert for Omniscopes. As far as the Resolve scopes and what you showed for the vectorscopes having 4 or more scopes up. The order in which each is first in the table will show as the default for when the scopes are locked onto the dock. So I have mine exactly as you show with All, Low, Mid and highlight, then if I need a quick look at the vectorscope when it's locked into the dock it will show me "All". If it were in a different order like Low, Mid, high and All - the default would be Low. And another tip is that the Option/Alt and scroll wheel will zoom in and out on the trace - so if say on a vectorscope I want to see the trace better on low saturation images - I can quickly put my mouse over the vectorscope and zoom in on the trace and then zoom back out, really quickly. But everytime I see omniscope demos like this, I kind of want them badly. Thanks for another great video - packed with information in there.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thanks Jim. Yes understand your work arounds but you know where I stand with time saving efficient realiable solid and GOOD plug-ins! Ive used Omniscope for years now - solid reliability!

Thanks Martin.

[@thmallik]

Hello, I usually follow your contents. I was wondering whether you are organising any master class In recent days or not. I literally did the grading in 35mm film and experienced the very tough chemical processing procedure. Hoping to listen from you. Best wishes

[@DarrenMostyn]

Next Masterclass dates not announced yet, likely end Feb/March 2025

[@RyanYoung8]

Thanks for another good one, Darren. Could you briefly explain the reason for your switch the to HDR wheels away from offset for balance towards the end of your video? The HDR tools are linear, right? Just curious about the benefits per use case. Thanks!

[@human_support]

Hey, darren! Got the omniscope presets but I don't understand how to install them in my omniscope ? There are no folders in the directories, and there is no option to upload a file(

[@giznofx]

Hi Im trying to see my clip and selected a still image in Split screen mode, I want to use twean peaks to match the shot..but I can only see my clip (input signal).. what Im doing wrong? DaVinci Resolve 19.1.1. and I have the latest version of Omniscope pro

[@flo-photo]

Hi Darren! I have a question about the CST work flow. I notice that when going from any color space to DWG, via CST anytime i would push the image a little I would start getting black spotty artifacts. I was blaming the HDR panel for a while but I did a little research and it had turned out I needed to set "Tone mapping method" to "None" as the "davinci" setting would have the artifacts. Do you have any insight on why that is? I couldn't find anything online.

[@DarrenMostyn]

I set mine to none on input and DaVinci or LUminanace on output.

Scopes my beloved

[@DarrenMostyn]

Enjoy!

[@inspiredtotired8369]

Thank you for the video. Subscribed 🙂 I'd like to ask if it's possible to configure any of the Scopes to show areas of the scene (interior/exterior drone footage) that are white balanced (similar RGB values)? A similar overlay to the Skin Tone Scope, is what I'm wanting. I currently use a DCTL to display this, but would like to setup a Scope. Hopefully, that makes sense? Thank you for any help.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thanks for subscribing. You can use Monondes Utility to do this. The diamond scope is showing white, grey and black down the middle of course.

[@travissawyer762]

Just a heads up I don't believe you can see versions side by side on the scopes if you're monitoring from one computer. Pretty sure you can only get that if it's coming out of the DeckLink card or UltraStudio. Maybe I'm wrong, first day using it, thanks for the code! :)

[@DarrenMostyn]

You would need to set your omniscope at ‘timeline’ level in color page( not edit page) if you are doing all on one computer to see ‘Versions’ as its only active in colour page. Hope that makes sense.

[@travissawyer762]

@@DarrenMostyn That makes sense, but it still doesn't seem to work. Maybe I have a setting wrong in Omninodes. I go CST > DWG > Clip level grade> Timeline level> Look development > CST > Rec709 > Omninodes. Doing the 'versions' only shows the highlighted one. It also isn't affected by playing a still. All of that passes into my flanders fine though. 🤷‍♂

[@DarrenMostyn]

It definitely 100% works in the edit page and the timeline mode, without decklink etc. Im doing it now and it changes when I go to versions. Not sure what you are doing wrong. Check you are pressing versions, not highlight and that you see more than one image in the Colour page window.

[@travissawyer762]

@@DarrenMostyn Appreciate the info. It's good to know it's possible! I was a little worried. I'll keep tinkering with it, probably reach out to support. I do see two images on the color page when I use 'versions', it seems like the signal I'm getting in Omniscope isn't a direct feed from the color page, it's strange. I use 'play still' a lot when comparing/matching shots so hopefully I can get it ironed out. Thanks again 👍🏻

[@travissawyer762]

@@DarrenMostynJust wanted to circle back to this after getting feedback from Tom. He said "This functionality is only available when you send SDI/HDMI to OmniScope. OpenFX can only get a source frame, versions, split screen, etc will not work when using OpenFX." In case someone else is trying to do it in using the OFX plugin

[@kianostad]

I noticed you also use the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, like I do. I’ve been struggling to configure DaVinci Resolve for a proper HDR workflow with footage captured in D-Log M. I understand DJI provides a Rec.709 LUT, but if I’m aiming to edit, grade, and export for HDR, I should avoid using it. Could you share your insights on this? Thanks!

[@BonafideLex]

The issue is d-log M is not truly a log colorspace

[@matthewhartman7176]

@Darren Cheers, just wondering who the primary demographic of this channel is? Is it other working colorists or folks learning or casually interested in coloring? Some of the tools you're promoting are quite expensive and likely out of reach for enthusiasts or beginning colorists, perhaps even intermediate. It's hard to imagine someone with passive interest dropping big dollar on some of these tools. Don't get me wrong, I can personally see the utility of your preferred tools and workflow, and if these types of videos are to keep the lights on, all fair game. I'm not upset by that. I would just love to know who your channel is targeting? If it's newcomers and enthusiasts, I would recommend you channel your content towards in-app based workflows. I'm more advanced myself and can see the potential and power in omniscopes but even I wouldn't invest that kind of money into tools that marginally improve productivity. I've collected more value from your content that shares your workflow with in-app tools, such as your node tree structure. Chef's kiss.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Hi Matthew, Thanks for your concerns. I dont have a target audience or primary demographic aim? Anyone is welcome to watch my content, beginner to professional to newcomer. I'm a professional broadcast colourist sharing knowledge for free, its not my main business and therefore its not that calculated as to who the target is. I'm very transparent about that. I just share information about my REAL workflow, not a KZbinrs perspective on how a real workflow 'might be' - Im sharing REAL WORLD broadcast grading knowledge. Im busy 90% running my post facility and colour grading real jobs for BBC, Netflix, Amazon, ITV etc. The info I share is based on tools that I use. I think you are used to be sold stuff by youtubers to make money - I make my living (lights on as you say) as a Pro Colourist! If non-pros think these plugins are expensive thats fine, and usually I give examples to do the same look without. Im not trying to sell! I'm simply being honest and showing what I use, and if thats expensive or cheap I dont really think about it! I dont take product sponsors money for anything other than what I use - I reject most offers to keep my channel genuine. I want everyone to enjoy my channel that's why i do playlists for beginners. I also have no idea why you are so concerned about a primary demographic. Im just sharing knowledge from basic to advanced level - the target is those who need that information can find it . I also negotiate well with vendors to allow my viewers to get a discount should you want one of the plugins I use - they dont HAVE to buy it. Everyone has a choice to watch the video, or not to buy the products Im using for Broadcast grades. I dont know what you are saying or asking really ? All the best, Darren.
