My first experience with test patterns was on Saturday mornings in the late 70s and early 80s.

Sometimes, I'd get up TOO early to watch cartoons and just see a set of colored bars on the screen.

I didn't know why they had them on the screen and so I thought they just meant "cartoons aren't on just yet."

As it turns out, this set of colored bars on my parents' TV set had a very important purpose. My father, who'd taken a course on TV repair in the 60s didn't bother with doing it, but later, when I first got into videography, I learned it and started to use it.

So, what does this have to do with ProPresenter? As it turns out, quite a lot.

ProPresenter has a BUNCH of test patterns that you can use to make your displays (whether they're TVs, Projectors, or even an LED wall) look better, and objectively so.

Now that you know, how do you use them and where are they located? Watch the video above to find out:
