Effects 161
Temporal smoothing: This value determines the speed of the movements considered
shaky. This allows you to differentiate between a panning shot and a nervous hand-
held shot. Changes to this value are immediately applied.
Cancel: Exits the dialog without accepting changes to settings.
Reset: Resets the current settings.
Image improvements for the entire movie
You can open the effects from the the settings via the "Effects" menu. All of the
settings made here influence the entire movie. Settings are made separately for each
individual movie in the project.
On the right, you'll see a preview of the current setting. Use the position slider to jump
to different positions in the movie or to various scenes in order to see how the
selected setting affects the image material.
Brightness/Contrast
Brightness: Use the sliders to reduce or increase the objects' brightness.
Selective brightness (gamma): “Gamma” determines the mean gray scale that can be
calculated from the various color ranges. "Selective brightness" is the most important
function for image improvement. In the preset list, select the various envelope curves
to edit only the dark, median, or brightest areas of the image.
Using the fader you can also set the power of the brightness/darkness adjustments.
Contrast: You can increase or lower the object's contrast.
Color space correction: This option is effective against powerful colors that violate TV
standards and can no longer be displayed correctly on-screen. The color saturation of
the affected material is thereby reduced until the maximum permitted value is
reached.
Color
Saturation: Use the saturation slider to increase or reduce the hue proportions in the
image. A newly developed algorithm is applied which makes color changes related to
other parameters (e.g. contrast settings) in order to achieve the most natural
coloration possible.
Hue: Use the palette to select a hue for coloring in the picture.
Red/green/blue: Changes the color mix using the slide controller.
