Selective vectorscope

[ZenGeekDad]

I see Pinnacle Studio 23 now offers a neat trick: selective vecotrscope, where you brush-select the area you want the vectorscope to report on.  This is a massively useful trick.  Question to Adobe moderators: is there any plan for PrP to adopt a similar tool?  If this is something that got patented out from under you, please just admit that.  If this is something that you expect to come out in an update of PrP, please give an ETA.

First,  as an openly traded company, Adobe is far more limited on what they can legally disclose about future features than privately held companies. Frustrating by true.

Second, you can use a mask on Lumetri to restrict the viewed image to a specific area... using rectangular, elliptical, or on-set points. Then viewing any scopes show only the trace of that area.

The Vectorscope in Lumetri has both graticules  ... the one going from upper left to lower right is what is often referred to as "the skin line". So it's already there.

Okay; I have to date used zoom/drag and sometimes crop to select what the vectorscope reports on.  But it's slow and awkward.  I'll experiment with masks, to see if they could be faster.  But to emphasize: the speed of brush-selecting an area of skin is pretty stunning, in AVID's Pinnacle 23.

I spend a lot of time color grading my footage, chiefly for consistent and natural skin tones, between myriad cameras.  The speed of a brush-selection tool would be a big asset.

No question that would be a slick addition. I'm on my phone or I'd post the link to the bug/features UserVoice system. Go to that site, which goes directly to the engineers systems and the upper managers who decide budgets and such.

Search for such a request or simply post it. Then come background to this thread and posts link.

I for one would be happy to go upvote it.
