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.

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).
