Batch clip brightness adjustment

[JoelMe]

I am creating a video that has maybe 30 short clips. Because of the setting where they were shot, they all need a brightness and contrast adjustment. Is there any way to do a batch adjustment and avoid going thru the process on each one?

I am using VS Pro X4

Hi

Apply the filter to the first clip.
Right click the clip to select copy attributes.

Using Shift + Click select the last clip, will select all
Right click and select Paste Attributes

Yes! Thanks.

Is it possible to adjust the brightness/contrast for only one area in the image?

Also, is it possible to change the contrast in a clip, gradually over time?

Hi

for only one area i think you would have to use a mask, there are samples in the Chroma Key option.
Really depends on which area you intend changing.
Can you post the image identifying the area.

You would need to use the image in the top track and the overlay track. apply the Mask and Brightness filter.

If you wish it to change as the project plays then use the Customise Filter options, you can add Keyframes changing the settings as you progress

Yes, I'd like to add keyframes. Where are the customize filter options?

hi

From the FX library drag a filter to the clip.
Lower Right of library press Options to open the properties panel, choose the Attributes Tab

The filters applied will show in the left panel, below is Customise Filter, this shows a new window displaying the original and filtered effect,preview

The keyframes show as a diamond shape along the timeline, the active one being red.

Add keyframes using small icons lower left of original screen

Tip right click a keyframe for options.

I've been using VS for 2-3 years and I have never touched the FX library and its Keyframes and Effects. This opens a whole new world!
