Waveform colors

Currently my waveform views are grayscale (yellow hue), any way to get them to show their actual (RGB) colors?

Click on the Setup Room (Command 1). Then click the User Prefs tab. You'll see in the middle, 4 color wheels. Look right above the bottom color wheel, there's a check box called "Monochrome Scopes" ... uncheck that.

How to show only 10 channels at a time in a Chart

The pointer slide will show 10 channels on the chart and the array (latest readings) but I'm only able to code the legend to give the channel names. How do you code the legend to give the corresponding waveform color.

Yes I think he might be right. Have you looked at the plot legend this way, in the example below? You can see that the legend DOES give the corresponding waveform color, its just that its not where you want it to be. You may need three different graph (with three different legends) and depending on which chart you need, change the visibility of the graph.

Six Quick Things - Can You Help?

Hi All --
...not sure if anyone can help? I have scoured the manual but still wondering a couple of things -
1) the semi-transparent waveforms in the recorded regions are doing my eyes in -- have looked all over, where can i set a pref. for say, 'black waveform/colored background' for the regions?
2) i would like to put an 'environment' or 'buses only' button along the bottom row of the arrange window with Mixer / Sample Editor / Piano Roll, etc...is this possible?
3) any ideas why I'm getting a loud audio clip/pop when using/editing/cutting with the scissors tool on any audio region?
4) whats with the toolbox -- cant i just have my little floaty box back?
5) have located my Solo button option under 'View' > 'Configure Track Header' - hope this helps someone!
6) how cool are the Dynamics and Mastering FX ?!?!
thnx to all in adv for any tips --

Can't help with #1 and 2.
3. If you are editing audio regions and this happens it's probably because you aren't editing at zero crossings. You can set a preference for this Edit > Search Zero Crossings.
4. Doesn't right/click or Escape open up the toolbox for you? If not, check your preferences.
5. Yep. Lots of options there.
6. Pretty good considering they don't cost extra. I still need my Waves, though, especially the L3.

How can I change the color of plot in a waveform chart and graph?

There are 4 plots in a waveform chart, from plot0 to plot3, and I want to chang the color of plots dynamicly up to my needs when the VI is running.
For example, as show in the picture, i want to set the plot0 as RED, and plot1 is BLUE, plot2 is YELLOW, plot3 is GRAY.
If there is only one plot, i can change it's color, however when there are more than one plot, it fail.
How can I do it?
Thanks

Hello MilkyStone,
first you have to set the active plot, then change its color (or other properties). All that is done using property nodes.

Any alternate solution to using Waveform Chart Property Nodes 'ActPlot', 'Plot.Visible' for mulit-plot color problem on PDA?

Hello,
    On a waveform chart, 4 signals need to be plotted based on the status of 4 boolean inputs. Eg. if the first boolean input is true, the first signal needs
to be visible on the waveform chart; if the first boolean input is false, the first signal should not be visible on the waveform chart and so on. This can be
done on LabVIEW desktop using the Waveform Chart Property Nodes 'ActPlot', 'Plot.Visible' - a sample VI "BundleSignals_Select_Desktop.vi" is attached for
reference.
    But on PDA, since the Waveform Chart Property Nodes 'ActPlot', 'Plot.Visible' are not supported, some other method has to be used. I have done the
selection/de-selection of these signals using 'Insert', 'Delete' array functions as shown in the attached VIs "BundleSignals_PDA.zip" which works, but the
problem is that the colour of these signals do not work as desired when the selection/de-selection of these signals is done - It is required that the first
signal should always appear in White color, the second signal should always appear in Red color, the third always in Green color & the fourth always in Blue
color.
    I hope i have made myself clear of the problem. Has anyone faced this problem before & is there a solution?
Note: Version of LabVIEW that we are using: LabVIEW 8.5 Professional Development System for Windows Vista/XP/2000 and LabVIEW 8.5 PDA Module for Windows
Mobile.
Thanks & Regards,

Unfortunately the only alternative to using property nodes is to set the properties manually on the development environement. The limited size of memory does limit us in terms of features for the module.

Saving "Waveform graph" with cursors, set of different colors, in an image file

Hello:
I'm trying to save to a file, a waveform of a "waveform graph" that has cursors, which have different colors. When opening the file I can see that the waves are plotted defined color, but the grids and cursors are colored black.
Someone can tell me what to do, so that the file is saved with the original colors of the "waveform graph"?
Best Regards

Probably this is happening because you are using the Invoke node Image Export, which captures an image with less information. However, if your application allows, using the Invoke Node Get Image, which captures your control, displays all the colors of your waveform, include cursors and grids colors.
In this link bellow, you can see how use this Invoke Node:

I hope this helped you. Success in your application.

How to get RGB color corrector back working with YC waveform monitor

so, as many of you are probably aware, Adobe's latest update killed the RGB color corrector, at least in terms of using it with the YC waveform monitor.
In this thread ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/4825916#4825916 )
someone says-
"Yes it's a Bug since the 6.0.2 Update. I replace the effect in the premiere plugin directory with the same from version 6.0.1 and it's working again"
how can I go about doing this?
I looked on another machine running premiere 6.0.0, but I am not seeing a plugin for RGB color corrector in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Plug-ins\Common
and I don't know what "RGBColorCorrector.cubin" is in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\PTX\cubin11
bottom line is that I want the RBG CC back working with the YC waveform monitor again.

also, I saw that initially, but assumed it was only used by after effects, due to the AE in the name, and that windows classifies it as an "adobe after effects effect".

Multiplot waveform graph plots are different colors when set to be the same with a property node.

The graphs were working yesterday. I made a few changes to another part of the block diagram and now the graphs do not plot all of the plots the same color. I am using a for loop with a property node with the elements active plot connected to the iteration terminal, and plot color to a color box. My for loop increments programmaticaly from another part of the code to create plots as it runs. I have replaced the graphs with new ones and they will work sometimes.
I am using Win2k and LV 7.1
Thanks,
Brett

Hi bh3560,
Have you tried chaging the color by right clicking on the line in the plot legend. There is an option to change the color of the plot.

All my audio waveforms in FCPX have a lighter-colored, secondary waveform in the background. What does this represent?

ssia

They're called references waveforms. You can switch them on and off in the editing tab of preferences. They show you the full height of the waveform with spikes making ti easier to see the content when the sound levels are reduced and the full waveform is very small.

Opening up to waveform instead of histogram color tool

when i open up the video scopes it always goes to the histogram and when i open up it always goes to luma? is their a way to open it to waveform instead? does it not save the last thing you used?

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,

Missing Waveform Monitors - New Install, Most Recent Premiere CC 2014

Hi,
I recently downloaded and installed Premiere Pro CC and related apps with a cloud subscription on a new Mac Pro tower. I connected by working RAIDs and opened a PPro project originated on my previous edit system, an iMac. Right away I noticed some strange behavior and key features missing when I went to color correct my footage.
With the desired timeline active in the "Editing" workspace, I used the keyboard shortcut (I also tried this with the dropdown menu) and switched the workspace to color correction. Rather than the timeline activated in the "editing" workspace, a completely different timeline in the project appeared in the "color correction" space. This occurred multiple times with seemingly every timeline, but the one I desired to correct activating in the "color correction" space.
Also, the waveform monitors are absent from both the reference and program viewer menus. I can't seem to the find them anywhere. This leaves me feeling a bit crazy, as I was operating in the most current PPro CC version on the iMac just yesterday and everything was in its place.
Thoughts on what is going on here?
Here are my system specs:
Mac Pro
Yosemite 10.10.1
Processor: 3.5 GHz 6-COre Intel Xeon E5
Memory: 32 GB 1886 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics: AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
For now I suppose, I'll try uninstalling and re-installing the app. Other ideas? Anyone else experiencing this?
Lindsay

Thank you for all of the feedback. I have tried un-installing and re-installing twice now. Once using the cleaner tool and once without. Neither has remedied the problem. I was sure to check "Remove Preferences" when performing the un-install, but when I opened a new project after the re-installation, PPro opened in the "Color Correction" workspace rather than opening in the standard editing workspace and still no scopes.
Other ideas?
I found this thread, which isn't boosting my confidence in a healthy Premiere / Mac Pro relationship, but I have seen no mention of the missing scopes issue I am experiencing. And really I haven't progressed to the point of attempting an export or render. As you well know, scopes are vital, and there's no point exporting if I can't properly polish a product.

How Can I generate 2 different WaveForm in the same time

Hello,
I use a NI 6733 card and measurement studio 8 with MFC class.
I would like to generate 2 different waveform in the same time on 2 diffrent analog output channel.
I would like to know how can i do that bescause I succeed to generate one wafeform on one channel but not the second.
I would like to create 2 task one per analog output channel and waveform and launch the task in the same time.
I use the buffer FIFO and I think I have a probleme to share the buffer between the to different channel.
thank you for your attention.

Hello,
This corresponds of the third case detailed in this KnowledgeBase. You have to use one task with two channel, and feed it with your two independant waveforms (at the same sampling rate).
Cordially,

Color changes in preview

Hello, I'm so tired trying to figure out the reason of a problem in Premiere Pro (my version is 6.0.4). I'm very frustrated just because I've spent too much time trying to solve the problem which is so ridiculous! What I'm doing is just trying to color corect my footage with the help of Color Finesse plugin. The problem is that I can see different results in full screen Color Finesse preview and PP windows preview. Sure you could kick me off this forum saying that it's not Premiere Pro but 3-d party plugin problem but I want to tell you that it's not!
The point is that I can see the right result of the color correction in Premiere Pro when I'm scrolling the preview unless I mouse up to stop the timeline cursor being dragged. Once I just mouse up the image in preview changes! I even set up the similar options of resolution for playback and pause in preview but I still can see the same issue. I also tried to change the sequence options of preview rendering (max bit depth, max rendering quality) but all in vain. I surely get this result when exporting - it seems that PP use in this situation the same rendering engine as what is shown in preview when the cursor stops.
But what really confuses me that in dragging timeline cursor mode I can see the proper colors that I made with Color Finesse! Isn't it an issue?! Haven't anybody noticed anything similar? The image in my case seems to be more red and whites are cut. I thought that there is might be some problems with color spaces but I just don't know what to do in Premiere! I tried to color correct my footage in After Effects with the same Color Finesse settings and then export it - everything is ok with colors! But not in premiere! By the way in both cases of exporting (premiere, after effects) I can see that the result image is in YUV color space with chroma subsampling 4:2:0, 8 bits, progressive though I choose RGB in After Effects when exporting (I can see it in Media Player Classic's properties of the footage).
Please, can anyone help me with this issue or is it really an Adobe Premiere bug?
I thought that there are some problems with color spaces and tried to watch YC waveform. But I guess that my original footage was even worse in it though I can not see any issues or color cutting with my original footage in premiere pro window. Color finesse window show another results. What's happening?...

Thank you, Bob, for answering. And I would also would like to thank you for creating such a convenient instrument for After Effects (cause you see - I seem to can not use it under premiere pro).
I guessed that in dragging mode PPro tried to optimise rendering in different ways clipping it from all the sides etc. But the problem is that all is vice versa: I do like the result in dragging mode and it's the same as in full Color Cinesse instrument and I can see clipping in stop cursor preview mode. Unfortunately there is no any difference on Ppro YCwaveform in this two modes (dragging, stop cursor) so I have to load images from footages (from Composite Video view).
That's why It does not help that the result I see in PPro when not dragging is what will render to my final output (maybe I'm wrong, maybe highlights are not cut but just more reddish...but I can feel more difference in video - the first one looks much better).
Do I correctly understand that dragging mode differs from stopping not just in that 8-bit image is handed instead of 32-bit but also that the first one is RGB but the second one is YUV (there are no YUV modes in Color Finesse full interface in some reason)? So is it possible that clipping happens with 32-bit YUV image? We could test your plugin by feeding it my original video footage (you should test it in PPro) - if you wish - and you could see - why there is difference (I understand that it may take some time so I seem to not wait to the results and find another way of color correcting though I very much like Color Finesse).
So - I'm sorry. In this case the problem seems to be exactly in Color Finesse? But anyway I don't understand why not implement Color Management in PPro such as it's done in After Effects or maybe even better by having several options. I think that sometimes you'd better have several options instead having no ability to do something.
P.S. Bob, I also have a suggestion for your plugin - it's kind of UI improvement. It's a good idea to have the ability to reset each option (each slider) by just double clicking on it's name just as it's done in Lightroom.

Why doesn't the graphical waveform update after adding effects to the rack??

I've noticed that when you add effects to sounds you hear the difference but the waveform does not SHOW you the difference. There's no way of telling how high you're getting with some effects. You don't see any true representation of the audio in the Editor Panel until you Apply the effect. But what's the point of that? That's like making color adjustments to a photo by changing levels but not being able to see what your doing. This sucks. This is absurd. Does Audition do this too?

It works fine on my systems running Mavericks, so this is not something Apple has removed but rather something amiss with your system. I'm not sure what to suggest, but downloading and reinstalling the 10.9.2 Combo Updater might help:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726
If you have a Magic Mouse you might also look to the various touch/swipe settings; not having one I can't be more specific. Someone else here may have a better suggestion.

Memory leak in Waveform Graph?

Either thier is a huge memory leak in the waveform graph or I am really doing something wrong.
I created an example app with a waveform graph and a button the contructor looks as follows:
Form1(void)
InitializeComponent();
vals = gcnew array<double>(60000) ;
for (int i=0; i<60000; i++)
vals[i]=Math:in(Math:: PI*2*60/6000.0*i) ;
and the click event looks like this:
System::Void button1_Click(System:: Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
this->waveformGraph1->Plots->Clear() ;
NationalInstruments::UI::WaveformPlot^ plot = gcnew NationalInstruments::UI::WaveformPlot(xAxis1, yAxis1) ;
plot->PlotY(vals) ;
plot->LineColor = Color::Red ;
this->waveformGraph1->Plots->Add(plot) ;
every time I click the button the memory used on my system goes up by about 10 MB. I tried this also with using this->waveformGraph1->PlotY(vals) and the memory usage stays solid as a rock.
Am I doing something wrong or what is causing the leak so I can work around it, my program plots 4 arrays of this size on one graph per test result.

The plot uses some unmanaged resources (gdi objects and other handles), which is why it implements IDisposible. Because of the GC, resource cleanup is not deterministic, clean up occurs when the GC deems it necessary. Calling delete (which based on C++/CLI syntax) ultimately ends up calling Dispose and this forces the object to release any handles it might have immedietly. See the documentation for the .NET Dispose pattern for more information.
If you don't call delete, what would end up happening is that eventually at some point in the application, the GC would fire and cleanup all the objects and handles and you would see a drop in the applications memory footprint, but you would need to run the application for a while before that might happen. In a long application run, things would end up stabilizing.
