First step: changing video clips before using them in a longer video?

I'm an absolute beginner.  I bought the first Elements 7 and I bought the first Bible and read that.

My question is, first appears to be software designed to help you create a video show by joining photos, audio clips and video clips.  Is there a step before this, however, namely editing the clips they come out your camera?

I have been using PhotoShop for years, and in general when I take a picture I open it in PhotoShop and adjust the saturation, brightness, sharpness, perhaps white balance, rotation, if necessary, etc.

Is there another piece of software designed to help make this kind of basic changes to a single video clip?  For example, if the clip came out too dark, is it possible to clear the air?

I would appreciate the answers really, and if there is a book or an article that you might suggest about editing video clips I would be recognizing the recommendation!

Stephen,

If you talk about making adjustments in the process of import - similar to the bridge or Lightroom - so I don't think that there is a first equivalent. I could be wrong, but I don't think that first will do, it won't be WinDV or Scenealyzer (other popular tools of import).

However, once you have your captured clip and in a project to create, you can do ALL KINDS of settings. For example, if you right-click on a clip and do appear the properties panel, the 'Image' control has settings for brightness, contrast, hue and Saturation. You can apply to the entire element, or use keyframes to apply different settings.

By clicking on the 'effects' brings up even more options... Gaussian blur, channel mixer, B & W, many many others... You can even make masks in Photoshop.

So in other words, you cannot make these changes through the ingestion of your material (as you can in Photoshop/LR), but once you get the first video will do much the same things as Photoshop.

  • CC of Dreamweaver (2015) 'save the files before putting them' post cause long beachball hangs

    I always Save the files before putting them checked in preferences > Site so I can just work on files and press CMD + SHIFT + you download the file without first having to save it. This seems to be problematic in Dreamweaver CM³, particularly with large sites. I'm working on sites where tens of thousands of files and Dreamweaver can't seem to stick with it all... it is maybe the cache issue... do not know, but I had problems with time to hang long beachball of up to 5 full minutes.

  • Bug in transition: use a clips before the applied FX?

    The question:

    If I apply a scale effect on a video segment (basically a zoom - box key), then I add any transition base as a "chained" to get a couple of frames in the center of the transition which do not have the effect of scale?  It's as if the transition is to use the original film clip (a Clip) before my scale effect... it is CERTAINLY not desirable in any situation.

    I hope that I am doing something wrong, but the Transitions are pretty basic, and I can't imagine a situation where we want a transition to be applied BEFORE approval (a Clip) had is other effects applied.

    Any suggestions?

    Cheers, Rob.

    I think you're talking about using the crop tool? If you're cropping with a size and resolution that involves interpolation of the image, the crop tool will use your preference for the Interpolation of the Image. By default, bicubic is automatic, which can easily result in a sharp file. Change your preference (in general) to bicubic and you shouldn't see any sharpening.

    I hope it works for your situation.

  • CS6 - adding a video clip before or after an existing clip

    When adding a video clip to the timeline it automatically added at the end of the timeline.  It must be selected and dragged along the timeline where you want to position.  When the timeline has many clips in there already, it would be more advantageous to be able to identify that you want to add a new clip before or after an existing clip.

    I tried to drag and drop in the timeline panel.  I tried to drag and drop in the video group.  But... it is always added at the end of the timeline.

    Is there a way to do this?

    Thank you

    Sorry TTFung, but I think it's the only way you can add video clips in Photoshop. I think it's a good suggestion, however, you can ask for it here: https://www.adobe.com/go/wish

  • iMovie doesn't let me change still clip duration

    When I try to change the length of a clip duration iMovie still simply ignores the change I made.  Anyone know what the problem could be another r I use software that is more stable?

    There are two ways to change the duration of the clips.

    You can select the video and then click the Info button in the toolbar at the top of the screen (the one that looks like an 'i' with a circle around it), then set the time desired in the box on the right and then press return on your keyboard.

    Another way is to select the clip and drag the edge of the yellow box on the left or right.   It makes it easier if you develop first of all your clip with the

    The slider that is located near the button settings on the right side of your screen.  If you expand a little, sometimes the clip not going to reject the change.

  • Insert steps in sequence of runtime using DefaultSequenceValues

    As part of the sequence call step type custom that I see, I want to add steps to the sequence called, but only when running.

    I found the runtime class methods to modify the copy of the length of the sequence: News/Set/Get/Clear SequenceDefaultValues, but I'm getting strange errors when I use them to try to insert a step. Change the properties of the sequence (for example GoToCleanupOnFail) works very well.

    When I use these API methods to try to insert the step in the single sequence LENGTH, I get an error index invalid step '0' for 'Setup' phases 'Tests' sequence.

    Locals.SequenceRef = RunState.SequenceFile.GetSequenceByName("Tests"),
    Locals.DefaultSequence = RunState.Execution.NewSequenceDefaultValues(Locals.SequenceRef),
    Locals.StepClone = RunState.Sequence.GetStepByName("Label",StepGroup_Setup).AsPropertyObject.Clone("", PropOption_CopyAllFlags | PropOption_DoNotShareProperties),Locals.DefaultSequence.AsSequence.InsertStep(Locals.StepClone, 0,StepGroup_Setup),
    RunState.Execution.SetSequenceDefaultValues(Locals.DefaultSequence,SeqDefValueScope_Execution)
    

    I found this similar code works for y to insert the step of the edit-time sequence:

    Locals.SequenceRef = RunState.SequenceFile.GetSequenceByName("Tests"),
    Locals.StepClone = RunState.Sequence.GetStepByName("Label",StepGroup_Setup).AsPropertyObject.Clone("", PropOption_CopyAllFlags | PropOption_DoNotShareProperties),Locals.SequenceRef.AsSequence.InsertStep(Locals.StepClone,0,StepGroup_Setup)
    

    I found in my research that the SequenceDefaultValues methods have been designed for the shipper of the property. It's using more current would be updating the inhabitants of the sequence. Change the steps in the sequence not supported?

    The error, I guess there is an incompatibility somewhere between the table of the Sequence.Setup [] array (which is updated) sequence steps and another value that stores the number of steps in the installation step group (which is not updated). In addition, the error refers to the configuration 'phase' not 'step group', which implies to me that it's an internal engine error, NOR is generally cautious with their nomenclature for the outside facing error messages.

    I also found this old KnowledgeBase of TestStand 2.0 which says that TestStand handles an internal pedometer for the current step group. Is there something similar happening here?

    Attached is a sequence of TestStand 4.2.1 file that shows the error in more simple one case I can do (unfortunately 4.2.1 is the version is using my client, and they have not been convinced to further improve).

    Hi Josh,.

    I appreciate the detailed post!  After some research, the problem here is that when a subsequence stage called a sequence, it uses the copy of the file edit-time to verify the number of steps, but tent then run the copy of the execution, which is different.  Because there is a mismatch, the error occurs.  I have found a solution that may work for you, but first I want to point out that TestStand supports not structural changes of any file of sequence that is currently responsible for execution. The term "structural change" includes things like:

    • Add or remove steps
    • Add or remove sequences
    • Add or remove properties
    • Changing the settings of the module or adapter step

    This is why the sequence editor prevents you from changing a file of sequence while it running. Operations such as changing the property values are not considered to be 'structural change', that is why the shipper of the property can change the limits of dynamic sequences successfully.

    The solution is to create a new sequence file to contain a clone of the sequence you change and then load this file of sequence dynamically step of calling sequence.  Using this method, the new sequence file is not loaded for execution until when structural changes are complete.  In addition, because the execution copy is not created until the sequence do not call, using the methods SequenceDefaultValues is more necessary.  I have attached a modified version of your example that illustrates this approach.

    If this approach does not work in your case, let me know and we can look into other possible methods to go about it.
