What is Scopo Gigio?
Scopo Gigio is a full-featured video waveform monitor and vectorscope plugin for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects. It emulates most of the features you'd find in a hardware-based waveform monitor / vectorscope combo, at a small fraction of the cost.
Why do I need Scopo Gigio?
