VSP Highlight/Shadow Adjustment?

[Roger]

I have a copy of Photoshop and perhaps the most common tools I use is the Highlight/Shadow adjustment on a single photo. In it you can open (lighten) the shadows and tame (darken) the highlights. I'd expect to apply this control globally to a video clip, not a frame.

Does VSP have this feature? If not, is it possible? Please educate me.

Thanks

The current version of VS (X5) -- and I think earlier versions -- has an Enhance Lighting filter which has a similar fill flash/enhance shadow effect similar to Photoshop's. And using key frames, the effect can be adjusted throughout a video clip.

Yes something similar exist under Color Controls. I have control over contrast, brightness, saturation, etc. But after applying these controls I need to multi-trim a 15-min clip and a popup says all the color controls will be reset to default. Is their a workaround to have both?

Seems I could process the entire 15-min into a new file, then multi-trim that. Hopefully something easier.

Thanks

I would encourage you to download and install the trial of VideoStudio Pro X5. You can go to http://pnoy.me/coreltrials

Hi

Do not use Multi Trim instead use the scissors on the timeline to cut th clip into segmnts, delete he bits you do not require.

I think you can have both.

If you have already applied color adjustments and now want to use multi-trim, you can drag the clip with the adjustments from the timeline back to the library. Next go ahead and do the multi-trim on the clip on the timeline, which removes the color settings as informed. After you are done with the multi-trim, drag the clip with the color settings in the library down to an empty track. Right-click on it and select Copy Attributes. Select the clips that resulted from the multi-trim, right-click on one of them, and select Paste Attributes. That will paste the color attributes back to each clip from the multi-trim. Finally clean up the timeline by removing that clip used as a color preset carrier.
