Note: Program settings enables you to activate "Comparison image in source
monitor for editing effects in the Media Pool". If this option is activated, the
"Selected objects without effects" comparison mode will be automatically activated
when switching into the Media Pool effects, and will be automatically deactivated
when the mode is exited. This serves to compare the original and edited image.
This automation will be suppressed if the option is deactivated.
Video effects in the Media Pool
Video effects in the Media Pool can always be opened independently from the
selection of an object.
The the image at the position of the playback marker is always displayed in the
program monitor. To see the impact of the effect settings, you must always set the
playback marker to the position where the selected object is located. The playback
marker also enables you to jump to a specific position in the video object in order to
check the results of the effects by starting and stopping playback.
Brightness & Contrast
Auto exposure: With this button you can automatically optimize brightness and
contrast with a click. Use the fader in the dialog for finer adjustments.
Brightness/contrast: Use the sliders to increase or reduce the brightness and the
contrast of the picture.
Gamma: "Gamma" determines the mean gray value that can be calculated from the
various color ranges. In the preset list, select various areas 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.
HDR Gamma: Unlike "Gamma", very dark areas are selectively lightened.
HDR blur: This changes the transition between light and dark areas together with
"HDR Gamma".
