What's a good source to learn scopes?

40:16voice. So in other words, yeah, it could save you time. You wouldn't have to bring that actor in, but A, they got to know about it, and B, you got to pay them, even though you're using the synthetic voice in the current SAG-AFTRA contract. So check that contract if you're working under a union contract. If not, you know, anything goes. Just, I would inform the talent that you're going to

40:38fix up some of their words using AI and make sure they're okay with it without getting compensated. Yeah, it's probably a best practice. Courtney, let's go to the next question. Andre DeLay in Berlin. What's a good source to learn scopes? Mouthwash question. Andre, I haven't actually looked, but I'm going to assume there's probably about a million videos online about different types of scopes.

41:10And that's a vague comment. Are you talking about waveform vectors, parades, any number of audio scopes? There's a billion different things that you might want to be looking at. Ronny, what's your thought? I would think he's talking about video scopes. And as a reply to what you said, there's a lot of YouTube videos out there that are talking about what button to click to get shown this and that.

41:35And really easy explanation. One of the big sources that I've been using and also given to my colleagues is the Blackmagic DaVinci user guide. It goes kind of in the deep. They have these kind of tutorials where they have hired professional color graders or professional color graders to make these courses and guides. That has been to some extent kind of helpful, not only talking about click here to show

42:07this scope and forget all about the technicalities behind the scopes. I'm also, I've been looking at Omniscope. They had some tutorials out there. I can't remember if that was from the company itself or if it was someone else externally that made that. But I think really good usage scenarios for scopes and how to use them. I would say that maybe you, Chris Fenwick, can take on that and create some courseware for us that we can enjoy hours and hours and hours.

42:48When I learned Scopes, it was so different, and I barely knew enough to squeak by. Bill Davis? I resemble that remark. I will say that it used to be Scopes were hardware. They are all software. They're virtualized. They're much better than the rest of that. But the companies that used to make them had a lot of educational material. So I might do a search on companies like Tektronix.

43:16used to make a ton of serious scopes. And they had all sorts of manuals and things like that that explain really down to the deepest technical details should you want to take a crazy deep dive. So, you know, you might want to just do an internet search and look back under Tektronix scopes and training manuals or training programs and see if there's some of them.

43:38And they will know the science behind the scope better than anyone else because that's what their product and take it from there. Jeff Cohn? Yeah, so to Ronnie's point, Blackmagic really has a ton of great training. They have live training classes and some of them are really in-depth. They're like four hours a day, five days, you know, a week long full training on some

44:05of the, they go really deep. But if you look at, just search for their training site, they have a lot of these great, you know, courses that are ready for you. you can download the actual project file. So this one here, introduction to color, I think this is old. This is, I mean, it's based on an older version, but it's fine. It includes scope. So I

44:26don't, I don't know to what extent in this introduction color they have, if you email their training, you can get on their list to get the, the schedules for these live training events that they do. Again, they're all free, which is amazing. And they have one specifically that is just on color grading and it goes a bit more in depth as well.
