© proDAD GmbH ProDRENALIN in detail Using ProDRENALIN for the first time, User Interface and Activation You can start ProDRENALIN via Shortcut on your desktop or via Start/Program/proDAD/ProDRENALIN.

© proDAD GmbH ProDRENALIN starts with the Start Register activated. Workshop - Remove fish-eye effect - Color-correction tools - Stabilizing You recorded your video with an action cam. These cams have a curved lens, which produces the so-called fish-eye effect (fish-eye). In addition, these videos are often used on a car, motorcycle, bike or when paragliding (to name just a few activities), as use without a tripod. Camera shaking or vibrations may now occur here.
© proDAD GmbH Directly after selecting the pre-installed profile GoPro Hero 3 the correction of the Fisheye effect will be shown in the preview. In order to see the comparison of the original video/corrected video , the option Horizontal Compare (in the View menu) should be selected, so you will receive a comparison.
© proDAD GmbH Stabilize Video checks you video and starts the video analysis. ProDRENALIN also offers the Rolling-Shutter Compensation. If your video should not correspond with your ideas concerning color or brightness and contrast, ProDRENALIN offers numerous Video FX Presets or adjustments to further optimize the material. A simple click on a color template in the Video FX Presets menu is immediately displayed in the Preview of ProDRENALIN.
© proDAD GmbH If the video now corresponds with your ideas, change to the Export Optimized Media register. Here you will find various options for noise reduction (Denoise Filter) i.e. for improving the smoothness in the material used. However, the changes will only be shown after the export of the video. Then the Export can be executed in 3 quality levels in MP4 and MOV format. Tips & settings Range selection In the Preview, you will see the changes in the video.
© proDAD GmbH If the Rolling-Shutter Effect (distortions or wobbling image) should occur after the first stabilization of your video during the preview, you can remedy this effect by activating the Rolling-Shutter Compensation option. The rolling shutter effect is a positional error in the video, which occurs in moving footage when the frame is scanned line by line. If the image is static, the footage is correct because all points of the frame are exposed at their correct positions.
© proDAD GmbH videos can then be exported. Here you can mark all available videos or only make one selection. To start the export, click on register Export Optimized Media. The number of videos to be exported will be shown here; now note the settings for Export. The selected videos are now automatically exported in sequence. The exported videos are then available in register Output Media Bin. 2.
© proDAD GmbH Importing the camera profile Via option Edit/Import, you can add, load (such as your own profiles, which you previously created using proDAD DeFishr) and save Camera Profiles. After importing the profile, it is available for selection in the menu and can be used to correct the fisheye effect. Note: If you have also installed proDAD DeFishr, the Calibrator also appears in ProDRENALIN. You can also create your own camera profiles by using the Calibrator.
© proDAD GmbH Before: After: FX Denoising (Denoise) - Improving the video In the Export Section of ProDRENALIN, you will find various options for the Noise Reduction (in the Denoise Filter menu) for optimizing the smoothness of contours in the material used. This minimizes or eliminates any noise in the video, for example, which developed during interior recordings or in recordings with little daylight.
© proDAD GmbH However, the changes will only be shown after the export of the video. Note: Perform the export in ProDRENALIN with the de-noising effect in the comparison view (View menu) as a trial. Then start the playback of the video after the export, for example, in the Media Player, and review the result in the comparison, for which the greatest possible presentation should be used.
© proDAD GmbH Video FX preset and tools for color correction ProDRENALIN also offers various Video FX Presets and fine adjustments as Tools for the color correction. These settings for the color correction are practical, if your original footage was not filmed in optimal light conditions and therefore has color weaknesses. You can upgrade it here.
© proDAD GmbH then you can determine an own Export path. Click the arrow to open the Search Archives dialog. This is where you select an own directory. You can still choose between 3 Quality levels in the MPEG4- or MOV-Export. The Medium quality is our recommendation. In the export of ProDRENALIN, you will also find the selection whether the optimized video (View Optimized) will be directly exported or as Vertical Compare or as Horizontal Compare (therefore as comparison for Before/After).
