Workflow
--------
To assign a custom shape to a bone, you have to:
#. Switch to *Pose Mode* :kbd:`Ctrl-Tab`.
#. Select the relevant bone by clicking on it.
#. Go to the *Display* panel *Custom Shape* field and select the 3D object previously created in the scene;
in this example we are using a cube and a cone. You can optionally set the *At* field to another bone.
.. figure:: /images/animation_armatures_bones_properties_display_custom-shape-example.png
The armature with shape assigned to bone. Note the origin of the Cone object.
When enabled, the bone is displayed in wireframe mode regardless of the viewport's shading mode.
.. note::
- These shapes will never be rendered, like any bone, they are only visible in the 3D Viewport.
- Even if any type of object seems to be accepted by the *Object* field (meshes, curves, even metas...),
only meshes really work. All other types just make the bone invisible.
- The origin of the shape object will be at the *root of the bone*
(see the :doc:`bone page </animation/armatures/bones/index>` for root/tip).
- The object properties of the shape are ignored
(i.e. if you make a parallelepiped out of a cube by modifying its dimensions in *Object Mode*,
you will still have a cube-shaped bone...).
- The "along bone" axis is the Y one,
and the shape object is always scaled so that one unit stretches along the whole bone length.
- If you need to remove the custom shape of the bone,
just right-click in the *Custom Shape* field and select *Reset to default value* in the pop-up menu.
So to summarize all this, you should use meshes as shape objects,
with their center at their lower -Y end, and an overall Y length of 1.0 unit.
- Custom shapes will never be rendered. Like regular bones, they are only visible in the 3D Viewport.
- The transforms of the template object are ignored. Moving, rotating, or scaling it will have no
effect on its appearance in the armature.
- The origin of each instanced shape object is at the :doc:`root </animation/armatures/bones/structure>`
of the bone.
- The rotation of each shape object is such that its Y axis lies along the direction of the bone.
- For best results when *Scale to Bone Length* is enabled, make sure the template object is 1 unit
in size along its Y axis. This will make it perfectly match the size of each bone.

Pivot Point
***********
The Pivot Point is primarily used in operations such as rotate and scale.
It defines the point around which the strip image will be rotated or scaled.
Using pop up menu in the header of the Sequencer preview, you can change the location of the pivot point.
.. reference::
The *Pivot Point* is also extensively used in the 3D Viewport.
:Header: |pivot-icon| :menuselection:`Pivot Point`
:Shortcut: :kbd:`Period`
The Pivot Point is the point around which images are rotated and scaled.
It's indicated by the position of the selected tool's gizmo.

The :doc:`/editors/3dview/controls/pivot_point/index` of the 3D Viewport
Bounding Box Center
The bounding box is a rectangular box that is wrapped as tightly as possible around the selection.
Use the center of the rectangle that's wrapped as tightly as possible around the selected
images' origin points.
Median Point
The median point is the points that is closest to all the origins of the selected strips.
You can think of it as the midpoint of the area that is covered with the selected strips.
Use the averaged-out position of the selected images' origin points.
2D Cursor
Sometimes you want to rotate a strip around a specific point in the preview.
Therefore, you can set the 2D Cursor and change the pivot point accordingly.
Use the location of the :ref:`2D Cursor <editors_sequencer_preview_2d-cursor>`,
for when you want to specify the pivot point by hand.
Individual Origins
If multiple strips are selected, you may want to rotate or scale these strip around
there own origins instead of for example the median point of all selected strips.
For example, if you have three portrait strip's of faces,
you probably want each face to be rotated around its individual origin.
Rotate/scale each image around its own origin, rather than rotating/scaling
all of them around the same single point like the other options do.

Display Mode
************
The display mode affects how the image of the current frame is represented in the preview region.
There are several modes available, each having a specific purpose.
Using this pop-over, you can choose between displaying the preview image
or a scope that visualizes its color distribution.
Image Preview
=============
The Image Preview mode shows you what the resulting video will look like when saved.
This is the main working mode for adding strips and moving them around,
cutting, grouping (making meta) and splicing them through special effects.
Previews what the final video will look like,
and lets you change the image layout using various
:doc:`tools </editors/video_sequencer/preview/toolbar>`.
Luma Waveform
=============
For the selected channel, brightness, or luminosity, is mapped with this display.
This scope visualizes the luminosity (brightness) distribution of the image,
letting you see at a glance if there's enough contrast and if any areas are
under- or overexposed.
A luma waveform allows you to judge the quality of the luminance distribution across the video signal,
you can view a luma waveform instead of the usual output display on every control monitor.
The scope works by plotting a curve for each scanline in the current video frame.
Another way of saying this is that each pixel column in the luma waveform
is a brightness histogram of the corresponding pixel column in the frame.
Specifically:
The display plots for every scanline the luminance value. The lines are all drawn on top of each other.
The points get brighter if the lines cross (which is very likely with several hundred scanlines).
You will understand the picture most easily if you plug an oscilloscope to
the Luma-video-output of your television set. It will basically look the same.
- The horizontal position of a pixel in the waveform refers to a pixel column in the frame.
- The vertical position of a pixel in the waveform refers to a brightness value,
going from 0 at the bottom to 1 at the top.
- The brightness of a pixel in the waveform indicates how many pixels in the above frame column
have the above brightness. If no pixels in the frame column have this brightness, the
waveform pixel is black. If at least three pixels in the frame column have this brightness,
the waveform pixel is white.
In this mode, the vertical axis represents the luminosity: 0 at the bottom, 1 at the top;
the horizontal axis is a mapping from the horizontal axis of the frame.
There are as many curves as scanlines in the frame:
each one of these curves represents the luminosity of the pixels of one line.
Moreover, the color of a pixel in this mode represents the number of pixels from the matching column of
the frame sharing the same luminosity, i.e. the number of curves that cross at this point
(black/transparent, for no pixel, white/opaque for at least three pixels).
When this scope is selected, you have the following option in
:menuselection:`Sidebar --> View --> View Settings`:
Separate Colors
Separates RGB channels into separate graphs.
Show three waveforms -- for the red, green, and blue color channels -- instead of just one
for the overall image brightness.
This mode is good for:
- If the waveform does not fill the whole picture you might want to play with the Brightness/Contrast modifier
until it fills the whole picture (contrast autostretch).
- With the more advanced Curves or Color Balance modifiers, you can be more precise.
- You can judge if you want to dump the whole thing since it is
completely distorted and clips at the top or the bottom.
The examples below show two images and their corresponding luma waveforms.
.. list-table::
* - .. figure:: /images/video-editing_preview_display-mode_luma-waveform-example-1.png
The various horizontal lines in the Luma waveform
The various horizontal lines in the luma waveform
match the uniform-colored lines of the picture. Note that the 'gray 20%'
one-pixel width line (inside the yellow strip) is represented in the Luma waveform by a gray line.
The two lines drawing an "X" are from the two linear tone shades (white --> black and black --> white).
Finally, the broken line matches the complex tone shade at the bottom of the picture.
The two lines drawing an "X" are from the two monochrome gradients.
Finally, the broken line matches the colored gradient at the bottom.

a luma around 40% for the sea, and a luma of 10-20% for the mountains,
growing around 40% for the sunny part.
.. note::
The pictures (first green frame, at the top) are only 50px high,
to limit the number of curves displayed in the *Luma waveform*.
Use this display to check for appropriate contrast and luminosity across all frames in the channel.
When spots in the film that should have even illumination do not,
it looks like a flashbulb went off or an extra light was suddenly turned on. This can happen
if two strips were rendered or shot under different lighting conditions but are supposed to be contiguous.
Chroma Vectorscope
==================
Use this mode to judge the quality of the color-distribution and saturation, you can also view a U/V scatter-plot.
This scope visualizes the color distribution of the image. Each point has:
The picture is converted to YUV-format. The U and V values represent the angle of the color.
For pixel of the picture, one point is plotted in the display at the U and V value position.
If several pixels happen to have the same UV value the pixel in the plot gets brighter.
To help you understand what color is meant, a hexagram marking the extreme positions
(red, magenta, blue, cyan, green, yellow) is shown and a red cross to mark the origin.
In other words, for the selected channel, this display shows the color space of the image inside a hexagon.
Each point of the hexagon is a primary color: red, magenta, blue, cyan, green, and yellow.
Black is at the center, and overall saturation is scaled as dots closer to the outside.
The example shown below as the second image has a lot of red (50% saturation)
and small amount of blue, with no green.
Always: remember to activate an additional control monitor of the end result.
Color calibration is a matter of taste and depends on what you want.
Use this display to check for too much color saturation.
While over-saturated images look great for op-art and computer displays,
they might not when shown on the big screen TV.
This mode is good for:
- If your picture looks very moody or desaturated you might want to take a look at the U/V plot.
You will most likely see all pixels building a crowd at the origin.
If you add saturation using the *Saturation* slider in the Filter panel or any modifiers that change color,
you can see in the U/V plot if you distort the color.
- If you do color-matching on a by hand basis you can match the angle you see of different channels monitors.
- An angle indicating its hue.
- A distance-from-center indicating its saturation.
- A brightness indicating how many pixels in the video frame have the
above hue and saturation.

=========
This mode displays a graph showing the distribution of color information in the pixels of
the currently displayed image. The X axis represents values of pixel, from 0 to 1,
while the Y axis represents the number of pixels in that tonal range. A predominantly dark
image would have most of its information toward the left side of the graph.
Shows three overlapping graphs, one for each color channel. Within each graph:

Introduction
************
The Video Sequencer preview is used to display the rendering result from the Video Sequencer's timeline.
This can be further configured to display the output from a certain channel, overlay, or image analyzer (scope).
You can adjust the view by zooming in with :kbd:`NumpadPlus` and zoom out with :kbd:`NumpadMinus`.
Pressing :kbd:`Home` at anytime resets the zoom to maximize the size of the preview within the editor's area.
The Preview mode shows how the final edited video will look like. It also offers tools for
moving, rotating, and scaling images, as well as scopes for analyzing color distribution.

Figure 1: Preview window of Video Sequencer.
Preview mode of the Video Sequencer.
The Preview contains two regions (see figure 1), the Header is shown
in a yellow outline with the *Preview* (red outline) underneath.
This Preview has no fixed dimensions; you can zoom in or move indefinitely.
However, in figure 1 you see a checkered area (green outline).
This preview has the aspect ratio of the Project Dimensions; e.g. 1920 x 1080 pixels in figure 1.
But, because the source strip could be scaled or a different resolution,
the yellow outline shows the area that the source strip occupies.
As you can see, the source video has a different resolution than
the project and letterboxes are added at the top and bottom of the image.
You can pan around the view with :kbd:`MMB` and zoom with :kbd:`Wheel` or :kbd:`NumpadPlus`/
:kbd:`NumpadMinus`. Alternatively, you can use the gizmos.
In contrast to the :doc:`Sequencer View </editors/video_sequencer/sequencer/index>` example,
both the Toolbar and Sidebar are expanded in figure 1.
The gizmos however are unique for the Preview.
Gizmos
======
You can use gizmos to move and scale the image in the Video Sequencer preview region.
See :doc:`/editors/video_sequencer/preview/display/gizmos` to manage the visibility of gizmos.
Pressing :kbd:`Home` resets the view, maximizing the size of the preview within the editor's area.

The metadata will only be displayed for the image/ movie strip and not from strips processed by any effect strip.
For example, adding an effect strip (eg. Glow) will hide the metadata from view.
Of course, the metadata isn't removed from the file. Hiding the effect strip will display it again.
Metadata is only displayed for images/movies that don't have an effect applied.

Lets you move the :ref:`editors_sequencer_preview_2d-cursor` by clicking or dragging with :kbd:`LMB`.
To use the tool, :kbd:`LMB` within the preview area to move the cursor to that position.
You can also click and drag to interactively position the cursor.
While dragging, you can press :kbd:`X` or :kbd:`Y` to constrain movement to an axis.
The movement of the cursor can be constrained along the global/local X or Y axis by pressing :kbd:`X` or :kbd:`Y`,
pressing the hotkeys will cycle between global/local orientations and disabling constraints.
If you need extra precision, you can hold :kbd:`Shift` to move the cursor more
slowly than the mouse, or type a number to move it by an exact amount.
Holding :kbd:`Shift` will move the cursor in smaller increments for more precision.
You may also type in an exact amount to move for absolute precision.
The header shows how far the cursor has traveled, including the distance along each axis.
While the operation is running a message will display in the header indicating
the distance in pixels the cursor has moved in each of the cardinal directions.
The third number, between parenthesis, is the Euclidean distance the cursor has moved.
Instead of this tool, you can also drag the mouse while holding :kbd:`Shift-RMB`

Rotate :kbd:`R`
Moves the selected image's in a circle about the :ref:`Pivot Point <bpy.types.SequencerToolSettings.pivot_point>`
by adjusting the strip's :ref:`Rotation <bpy.types.SequenceTransform.rotation>` property.
By default, the image will rotate around its median but this can be changed by changing the Pivot Point.
Lets you rotate the selected images by holding :kbd:`LMB` and moving the mouse in a circle.
Alternatively, you can press :kbd:`R`, move the mouse, and finally click :kbd:`LMB` to confirm
(or :kbd:`RMB` to cancel).
To use the tool, :kbd:`LMB` on the image and drag it (in a circle) to the desired position.
The further away the mouse cursor is from the Pivot point, the slower the rotation movement is.
You can also use the Arrow-keys to move the handle very precisely.
If :ref:`Active Tools <bpy.types.SpaceSequenceEditor.show_gizmo_tool>`
is enabled, you can also rotate the image by dragging the gizmo.
Images are rotated around the :ref:`Pivot Point <bpy.types.SequencerToolSettings.pivot_point>`,
so if it's off-center, the images will not just rotate but also move around it.
Holding :kbd:`Shift` will rotate the image in smaller increments for more precision.
You may also type in an exact amount to move for absolute precision.
If you need more precision, you can do one of the following while rotating:
While the operation is running a message will display in the header indicating
the amount of rotation in the scene's rotation unit.
- Hold :kbd:`Shift` to rotate more slowly.
- Hold :kbd:`Ctrl` to rotate in increments of 5 degrees.
- Type a number to rotate by an exact amount.
- Use the arrow keys.
The header shows how much the image has rotated.
Instead of using this tool, you can also adjust the :ref:`Rotation <bpy.types.SequenceTransform.rotation>`
in the Sidebar's *Strip* tab (only available in the *Sequencer* and *Sequencer & Preview* modes).
Scale :kbd:`S`
Changes the size of the image by adjusting the strip's
:ref:`Scale <bpy.types.SequenceTransform.scale>` properties.
The scaling use the :ref:`Pivot Point <bpy.types.SequencerToolSettings.pivot_point>` as reference.
So, for example, if the Pivot Point is set to *2D Cursor*,
scaling down a strip will also move the strip in the direction of the 2D cursor.
Lets you resize the selected images by dragging with :kbd:`LMB`.
Alternatively, you can press :kbd:`S`, move the mouse, and finally click :kbd:`LMB` to confirm
(or :kbd:`RMB` to cancel).
To use the tool, :kbd:`LMB` on the image and drag it to the desired size.
The further away the mouse cursor is initially from the Pivot point, the more precise the scaling is.
You can also use the Arrow-keys to adjust the scale very precisely.
If :ref:`Active Tools <bpy.types.SpaceSequenceEditor.show_gizmo_tool>`
is enabled, you can also scale the image by dragging the gizmo.
If the :ref:`Active Tools <bpy.types.SpaceSequenceEditor.show_gizmo_tool>`
gizmo is enabled, you can drag one of the colored lines to only scale along that one axis.
You can also press :kbd:`X` or :kbd:`Y` while scaling: press once to constrain to the
corresponding global axis, a second time to constrain to the local axis,
and a third time to remove the constraint again. Yet another way is to hold
:kbd:`MMB` and move the mouse horizontally or vertically.
The scale of the image can be constrained along the global/local X or Y axis by pressing :kbd:`X` or :kbd:`Y`,
pressing the hotkeys will cycle between global/local orientations and disabling constraints.
Images are scaled around the :ref:`Pivot Point <bpy.types.SequencerToolSettings.pivot_point>`,
so if it's off-center and you scale down, the images will not just become smaller
but also move towards it.
Holding :kbd:`Shift` will scale the image in smaller increments for more precision.
You may also type in an exact amount to scale for absolute precision.
If you need more precision, you can do one of the following while scaling:
The amount of scaling is relative meaning a scale value of 0.4 will scale the image to 40% of its size.
- Hold :kbd:`Shift` to scale more slowly.
- Hold :kbd:`Ctrl` to scale in increments of 10%.
- Type a number to scale by an exact factor (e.g. ``.5`` to make it half the size).
- Use the arrow keys.
While the operation is running a message will display in the header indicating
the amount the image has been scaled in each of the cardinal directions.
The header shows the current scale factor.
Instead of using this tool, you can also adjust the :ref:`Scale <bpy.types.SequenceTransform.scale>`
in the Sidebar's *Strip* tab (only available in the *Sequencer* and *Sequencer & Preview* modes).
Transform
Supports any combination of the moving, rotating, scaling at the same time.
In the figure below, the Transform tool is enabled and strip 3 selected.
Lets you move, rotate, and scale images all using one tool.
.. figure:: /images/editors_vse_preview_toolbar_transform.png
The Transform tool
With the four squares at the corners of the strip, you can scale the strip.
The circle on top is for rotating and the crosshair in the middle is for moving the strip.
It works as follows:
- Drag the cross in the center to move the image.
- Drag the dot on the protruding line to rotate.
- Drag one of the corners to scale equally along both axes.
- Drag one of the sides to scale along just one axis.

Lets you sample a pixel's color by holding :kbd:`LMB`. The editor will show the following information
about it on the bottom:
To use the Sample tool, :kbd:`LMB` anywhere in the preview.
Information about the pixel under the mouse cursor is shown in an overlay at the bottom of the editor.
In the order of appearance, the following information is shown:

- The values for the red, green, and blue component as from the color picker.
- The alpha value of the pixel.
- The color-managed values of the red, green, and blue component (the color as you see in the preview).
