Videostudio 9 - Color Correction - help please

Post by ironclaw »

I use Videostudio 9 to capture my old VHS home movies and it does an excellent job. However I dont understand how to "color correct" a clip and save it. I know how to open the options panel, adjust the color, brightness, etc., so that it plays back with the new color adjustments, but how do I save the adjusted clip? Everytime I hit save I end up with another copy of the original "uncorrected" clip. Can anybody assist this dense old twit please? Cheers.

Hi Ironclaw,

Where are you "hitting save"? As you are probably aware, the clips in your timeline are just thumbnail "shortcuts" to your original clips. A project (VSP) file is nothing but a bunch of instructions.

So with that, to save changes you need to go to the Share step, and create a video file. The all your changes will be made to the new video file that is made.
