Explained! - How to Read and Use Waveforms

[@raedaniel4444]

The best waveform explanation I've seen so far.

[@Frainkiz]

2021 who with me? .. btw your explaination is god damn clear!

[@johnmcard3116]

Thank you for solidifying the purchase of the G9's waveform and VLog update, my wallet is immensely grateful xD

[@shiolei]

I found the quick demonstration at 5:00 to be extremely helpful in understanding how adjusting the curve affects the waveform and the image. Really enjoying the videos in the Explained! series.

[@abxsjwatever2910]

damn bro, been searching on youtube for hours and this is the first video that can actually explain it so well.. and yeah i’m commenting in 2024

[@abas1r]

It was your video that explained histograms to me and now I’ve got a better camera I’m back for waveform explanation; thanks man; you’re a star!! 🙏🏾👌🏽

[@kingmaxkey]

The best explanation I found

[@global001]

Brilliant & comprehensive explanation of wave forms. Coming from photography its good to have this explained for photography. Videographers assume we already know. Just started watching your videos, they’re great! So thanks for posting.

[@evansycamnias8042]

Thank you - I have been looking at waveforms for years with no idea, and in 1 minute you helped me understand. Top Job :)

[@darrengodssonfielding]

Your mission has been a massive success for me. I understand clearly and concisely what function waveforms perform and how to utilize them.

[@schabak2907]

oh my got i frikin love it so much when asians explain things and make presentations and you r trying so hard to explain soo usefulll thx dudeee!!!

[@guichen6485]

I love how you grin a little bit whenever mention your cat lol

[@thejubinbennett]

You did a great job by not making it complicated at all as much as it looks . . . ! Hoping to have more content ! Good luck !! 👍

[@mangushtvshow]

At long last i have understood wave forms. Thanks to the creator of this video

[@johngwheeler]

Just seen these, nearly 3 years later, and have to say it's the best explanation of how to read waveforms that I've seen so far. One suggestion for improvement would be to explain that while the horizontal axis aligns exactly to the horizontal axis of the image frame, the vertical axis is a composite of luminance levels from all of the vertical pixels, and does NOT correspond to the position of the pixels virtual image axis. i.e. it's similar to a 90-degree rotated histogram in this respect. So if you have a bright strip at the bottom of the frame, the waveform would still show the bright lines at the top of the waveform representing the "weight" of bright pixels form *any* part of the vertical strip of pixels. This may not be immediately obvious to everyone - at least I had to think about it when I first saw a waveform!

[@jerjimjr]

Very Very Good explanation. After watching several other videos on waveforms, it was your video that made me truly understand the scope waveform. Keep up the Good work.

[@eugeniechereau3252]

Perfect explanation, thank you! Nice cat

[@benxgoh]

Thank you cat

[@katherineefudge3616]

Wow, I am learning so much from watching your videos. I am happy I stumbled upon your page. Thank you.

[@newtonfall1]

Clearest explanation I've come across. Good job!

[@Forthejoyofphotography]

Many thanks. First time ever I have grasped waveforms and they use. Clear and succinct. Well done!

[@dosvecesjaime]

Very clear and helpful, specially that bit where you played the video.

[@moSahl]

Excellent. The very first video in my education journey about waveforms and you’ve nailed it. Thank you.

[@studyio7162]

Not Indian and still one the best explainations I've seen

[@augustbengtson1139]

Very good video! Super clear and straight to the point. Well done sir 👍

This is extremely helpful! I'd like to see you explain more such concepts!!!!

[@Jamminn555]

Excellent explanation. Very clear and also entertaining to watch as well. Thanks so much for posting.

[@kuunami]

The is the best explanation of waveform I've ever seen.

[@DMVisuals]

You explained this very well with some solid examples, thank you my friend!

[@ourtvchannel]

brilliant simple and quick - excellent video

[@yvette9867]

Wow! That was a great explanation. Thank you!

This was so helpful man! Thanks!

[@daniel.h2488]

Thanks for this! Immediately understood something I've been wanting to know for so long!

[@tenabaker4600]

Hi, you started really good for the beginner trying to understand wave forms. It got a little techy towards the end. But pretty good overall.

[@kirankiranmishra]

Thank you for this video. 👌🏻 it didn’t made me master but it pushed me 1 step Further to become a master 😬🤟🏻 thank you

[@antonpeterson23]

Thanks man, really good explained!

[@sutv6754]

I knew all the but now I understand it and finally get it. Thank You.

[@ProgressorMusicAcademy]

Best Explanation.

[@worldfacts9152]

Superb explanation thank u soo much

[@federicogesualdi7126]

You're great. Wonderful explaination, made the waveform really easy and also complete. Great job man!

[@jefferson.g.lleeephotograp1333]

Nice, could you explain RGB parade and vectorscope ? Thanks

[@Therium007]

Well done! Thank you!!

[@tamaratravels44]

great explanation!

[@wisienka1994]

Thanks, great work!

[@dominikmusic]

very nice explained!

[@fight2race810]

SOooOo CLEAR now..THANK YOU

[@Photographicelements]

You should do a part2 of this video, explaining how to record video using waveforms, as it varies from camera to camera or the log profile you use; For you, using a C100, the ideal waveform for Canon Log is slightly different than Wide DR, or for the 5D, Landscape picture profile is different than Prolost.

[@dixieechann]

Great explanation!

[@lautlos2121]

Very good explaination!

[@kanwalpreetpadda640]

Good job 👍

[@jipmus]

Thanks a lot man! Your effort really helped! I subbed! :)

[@pralex4477]

Damned you are a genieus at explainning things

[@TheNitrohaulic]

Thank you! Great explanation.

[@dannydiazphoto]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@garycrowson6751]

Great, Thank you

[@tedisrozenfelds7630]

Great video!

[@apisitkhomgonluechar3419]

helpful and nice content

[@innstikk]

Thanks. Are the waveforms in cameras based on REC.709?

[@MrBopte]

awesome video.. one question is histogram and waveform similar?

[@eyeojo]

Patrick Chan there is no spatial information in a histogram, one axis is level and the other is amount for an entire frame/image. An image of the cat and it's mirror opposite image would have the same histogram but mirrored waveform.

[@zy_cheng]

It's official! eyeojo explains better than me!

[@eyeojo]

Definitely not - your videos are Awesome!

[@johnnewson2023]

Thank you very helpful

[@morerealistic8780]

Really awesome! Helps me a lot

[@jeremyallen6043]

This is amazing. Thanks so muc b

[@traceyclaver6076]

Thank you for this!!!

[@BASSLINEPFP]

So what is the ideal waveform while filming ?

[@Partykristian]

Good job, love the channel!!

[@JackFang782]

Thankyou for this

[@jayco10125]

what is the correct ire range for whites, highlights, mid tones shadows and blacks?

[@castmaven]

Yes, I have a question - how do you see with your hair over your eyeball? :). Just wanted to say thanks for this thorough explanation. Quick question, generally when exposing a scene, lets say a subject in foreground but a white bright sky in the background. Where exactly should the IRE be? Is it ok to push it all the way up to 100 IRE, assuming then nothing will get clipped?

[@Unus1Mundus]

At what percentage IRE should the skintone be placed at?

[@jeancarlobetancourt2744]

Great video

[@MrMolack]

Thanks, very iseful.

[@ΓιώργοςΑθανασιάδης-ζ2ν]

Very good!!!

[@cebb5058]

this help me alot

[@videogra5645]

Thank you. U really explained it well

[@NowyKurs]

How far you push highlights? Below 1000 CRI?

[@MrMonk-ze8gm]

Thanks man!

[@nicholassmith7723]

Thanks for the concise video! I think you did a great job of correlating waveforms to the histogram, but how are they used for color correction? I realize this video is 3 years old and you may have already covered it in a future video. But if not, it might be a good topic! Thanks :)
