Date: 2022-09-30

Have you ever wondered what video waveforms are and how to use them to improve your video? In this video I wanted to answer the following questions...exactly what are waveforms? What are we looking at? How can we expose a scene only using waveforms? What’s deal with RGB waveforms? And finally how we can use waveforms to expose skin tones and then protect bright, highlight areas. Enjoy!
