RGB

RGB parade

Compare highlights and shadow channel balance.

DISTRIBUTION

Histogram

Luma and channel counts over 0–255 levels.

ZONES

Exposure bands

Creator-friendly false-color zones, not a camera-specific LUT.

CHROMA

Vectorscope

Display-RGB chroma density · qualitative balance, not a calibrated gamut boundary.

TEMPORAL ANALYSIS

Exposure through the clip

Sample video frames in sequence to find brightness shifts. Results are display-referred; brightness jumps are not necessarily flicker and are not RAW clipping indicators.

Import a video to enable clip scan (up to 120 sampled frames).
Run a scan to review mean-brightness range and adjacent-frame variation.

Click the trend to inspect a sampled frame. Use arrow keys when the trend has keyboard focus.

MORE THAN A BRIGHTNESS FILTER

Fast exposure decisions, with context

01

Check the image

Compare preview, histogram and waveform to spot overly dark or bright areas across a frame.

02

Isolate a region

Measure a face, window or background separately using a rectangular region of interest.

03

Review a sequence

Scan sampled video frames, inspect the trend and take your analysis into a review report.

Using Exposure & False Color Analyzer

Inspect browser-decoded display pixels with waveform, RGB parade, histogram, false-color bands, RGB clipping, vectorscope and pinned-reference comparisons. Use these scopes as display-signal diagnostics rather than calibrated camera exposure measurements.

  1. Load a local image or video/demo, select a region of interest and choose the display transform.
  2. Review waveform, parade, histogram, false-color/zebra and RGB-clipping views; use the vectorscope and pin a frame when you want to compare sampled reference values.
  3. For video, scan selected timestamps and inspect the trend; export reviewed overlays, a scope PNG, scan/histogram CSV or settings/report JSON.

Example: On a short clip, isolate a bright window, compare its waveform and RGB parade with the false-color bands, pin a reference frame, then inspect the sampled trend and export the scope/report for review.

Limits and privacy: Scopes use browser-decoded 8-bit display RGB, not calibrated IRE, RAW sensor clipping, camera log, HDR nits or scene-referred stops. EV is a display simulation and cannot recover clipped information; temporal jumps may reflect motion or edits, not measured flicker. Video scans sample at most 120 timestamps; analysis scopes downsample to 480 pixels and overlay output is bounded to 1280. Browser decoding and color conversion vary.

Frequently asked questions

Are the scopes calibrated IRE, RAW or HDR exposure meters?

See the answer in the existing page guidance above; this Phase 26 guide retains that current question and answer material.

Can the EV control recover clipped highlights?

Frequently asked questions

Are the scopes calibrated IRE, RAW or HDR exposure meters?

No. They analyze browser-decoded 8-bit display RGB. The values are not calibrated IRE, RAW sensor stops, HDR nits, camera log or scene-referred exposure.

Can the EV control recover clipped highlights?

No. EV adjustment simulates a display transform; it cannot restore information that was clipped in the source pixels.

Does a clip scan inspect every frame or measure flicker frequency?

No. Scans sample at most 120 timestamps, and the tool does not measure true flicker frequency. Timing and decoded pixels vary with browser support.
