Global Targets

Global targets let you add reference lines to waveform and parade scopes at specific luma or RGB values. Use them to mark black/white levels, skin-tone ranges, broadcast limits, or any custom thresholds relevant to your project.

Opening the Targets Window

Method	Action
Menu	Options > Targets
Keyboard	⌘T (macOS) / Ctrl+T (Windows) — toggle targets on/off

Target Types

Type	Description
Luma	Horizontal line at a specific luma level on the waveform. Displays the value as a label.
RGB	Lines at specific R, G, B values on the RGB parade or waveform.

Adding Targets

In the Target Sets tab:

1. Click Add Luma Target or Add RGB Target

2. Set the value using the slider or type a number

3. Optionally assign a custom colour to the target line

4. Toggle individual targets on or off

Luma Targets

• Set a luma value (in the current scale — IRE, percentage, 8-bit, 10-bit, etc.)

• Each luma target displays its value as a label on the waveform

• Drag targets directly in the waveform using drag-and-drop

• Add targets from the Color Picker with Alt+Ctrl+Click

RGB Targets

• Set individual R, G, B values

• Targets appear on the RGB Parade and waveform

Target Sets

Target sets let you save and recall groups of targets for different projects or standards:

• Save the current targets as a named set

• Load a saved set to switch between configurations quickly

• Delete sets you no longer need

This is useful when switching between projects with different level requirements (e.g. broadcast vs. web delivery, SDR vs. HDR).

Display Settings

The Display Settings tab controls how targets appear across all scopes:

Setting	Description
RGB target overlay colour	Colour used for RGB target lines
Target thickness	Line thickness (1–5 pixels)
Show labels	Display value labels next to target lines
Use small font for label	Use a compact font for target labels to reduce clutter

Keyboard Shortcuts

macOS	Windows	Action
