I am a huge fan of 3Prong's WaveScope™ plug-in (3Prong) for AXP and Media Composer. I'd like to share how I use the plug-in for adjusting video levels on the fly in the color correction mode. By following these simple steps you can easily control your levels using color correction.
Lets Take a look!

I thought Avid had bought the 3prong plug-in architecture, and it's the one in use currently in the Media Composer. If you go to the pull-down menus on "Previous" and "Next" in the 3-window color correction mode - you can set the two windows to display Histogram, Parade, Waveform, or Vectorscope as well. I usually leave the center window on my image, put the Waveform where "Previous" usually is, and put a Vectorscope where "Next" usually is.
I'm not sure when they put the software scopes in, so if you have a version of MC that doesn't have them, the 3prong plug-in is great!
