Brightness and Contrast
Alters the overall color and luminance values of your output media file to a brighter or
darker level. Some QuickTime codecs darken your video file, so you can use this filter to
compensate for that. Choose any number between –100 and 100, but avoid the extreme
settings as they give a very washed-out quality.
• Brightness: Adjusts brightness to any number between –100 and 100.
• Contrast: Adjusts contrast to any number between –100 and 100.
Color Correct Highlights, Midtones, or Shadows
Depending on which of these you choose, this corrects white balance inaccuracies and
creates color effects on the bright, midtone, or dark areas of your clip. Adjust red, green,
and blue values independently between –100 and 100.
• Red: Adjusts red value between –100 and 100.
• Green: Adjusts green value between –100 and 100.
• Blue: Adjusts blue value between –100 and 100.
Deinterlacing
Removes the effects of interlacing.
For deinterlacing, the Frame Controls feature is recommended over this Deinterlacing
filter (a legacy filter) as it will always provide much higher quality. See Working with Frame
Controls for more information.
For general information about deinterlacing, see About Deinterlacing.
