Using ProCoder Helpful Hints

ProCoder

Reference

Glossary Index

Target Tab

Fade In/Out This filter applies a fade in and/or out to your video in order to

aid the encoding process. You should use this filter if your source

video has a lot of fast motion in the first few frames. The fade in

gives ProCoder a “running start” so it can encode your video more

efficiently.

Gamma Correction This filter adjusts your video’s gamma settings.

Gaussian Blur This filter applies a Gaussian blur to the video.

Median This filter is designed to improve picture quality by removing

single-pixel defects without affecting the sharpness.

Pulldown This filter offers conversion without interpolation for progressive-

to-interlaced (i.e. film-to-video) file conversion. This preserves full

spatial image quality and creates target fields that are selected from

the nearest temporal source frame. Displaying the resulting file

on a progressive display, such as a computer monitor, produces

very noticeable interlacing artifacts. However, displaying this on an

interlaced display, such as a television, produces very good image

quality. This method is generally used when cinematographic

footage is encoded to a DVD and played on a TV.

Relative Crop Remove unwanted edges on the video with this filter. This is often

used for removing any edge blanking or other unwanted video

information from the top or bottom of the video frame.

Rotate This filter provides 90-degree rotation and axis-flipping for the

video.

Sharpen This filter sharpens the video using the "unsharpen mask" technique.

Temporal Noise Reducer This filter removes noise by using temporal noise reduction.

Temporal noise reduction is effective for removing analog noise.

Video Inverse Telecine

Use this filter to inverse telecine 2-3 telecined videos.
