Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1402)

As you compare adjacent clips in your sequence, remember to pay attention to the video
scopes. With Final Cut Pro set to the Multiple Edits layout, you can select the Video Scopes
tab in the far-right Tool Bench window.
The Multiple Edits
layout lets you easily
compare clips.
Note: The Video Scopes tab can be set to display the same choice of edit points as the
Frame Viewer tab. If you have a large enough display, you can create a custom layout
with multiple video scopes, each corresponding to a Frame Viewer tab showing the same
edit point.
Using the video scopes, you can quickly pinpoint specific differences between these shots
that may be difficult to figure out visually. For example, the Histogram and Waveform
Monitor show that the second shot is a little darker than the first. Pay particular attention
to the spike in the middle of the Histogram. By comparing the difference between the
size and location of each spike, you can adjust the level sliders to compensate.
