Night vision style filter...
Anyone know how to do a night vision type filter usin VS or where one could maybe get such a filter that would work with vs?

Could you not just increase the green value for the video, and decrease the other colours? I"m rather a newbie with VS though. What type of night vision are you going for? I've used a head mounted set, and that was 'mostion sickness' green, and also a vehicle mounted one, which was basically just enhanced B&W monochrome.
I believe Adobe Elements has a night vision filter - but that's of no use to you! Might be worth checking any TBYB versions though.
Others have reduced the video to greyscale, then added green, and played around with sautration and contrast. Just changing the hue would leave other colours.
They've also added a "video effect" filter, which puts horizontal "scan" lines on the video. It looks better with some added noise, then of course you might wish to add crosshairs and perhaps a round mask. Sounds like a lot of work compared with just using a dedicated filter!
Sorry I've nothing better to suggest.

Hi all
A few cents from a newbie. I've been comparing a few things to the night vision systems I've used. Try the 'old film' video filter. You can do a colour shift; so use either green, or greyscale. You can also change the other settings, so create interferance, etc. Maybe use a mask, etc if you want more.
And thanks to everyone else who posts on here. I've learnt a ton in the last few nights researching...

This works good but you must first remove all of the color and make your clip black and white (night vision does not show color other than the green tint of the ir light beam.) I would also add a little bit of noise to the clip... night vision clips are not crystal clear.sjj1805 wrote:The easy way is to place a green color clip onto an overlay track and set it to fill the screen. Now simply adjust the transparancy level until the desired effect is achieved.

Thx a bunch guys, great suggestions.
2Dogs - I looked at Adobe elements earlier in the year but could not get to grips with it.
Ulead products are much simpler to use and although limited compared to Adobe products, they generally do what you want when you want it.
Last year I had no Ulead products, this year I have 5.
Every day I learn something new.
