Video Editing

[Grampa Dave]

I have been using EMC 10 for still photo slideshows to this point. I have just purchased a video camera and would like to find out if EMC 10 has the capability to edit the video clips. By editing I mean being able to not only trim the video and adjust the audio levels but to also adust colour, contrast etc.

 

Thanks In Advance

Thanks Walt I was begining to think that these old eyes had let me down. I have come to the same conclusion as you that trial and error is the way to go. The last two weeks have been just that and as yet I have not been able to enhance a video clip. I hate to give up on EMC 10 but I have a neighbour that has been using Pinacle Studio 12 Plus and is able to do all that I want and more with very easy instructions in the help section to boot.

 

I see by your ID that you sre from Deep River, Ontario. I was in Pembroke last week visiting friends. The wife and I are down here in the warmer part of Ontario, we are in Mount Hope a suberb of the big steel city Hamilton home of the Tiger Cats, but I don't say that to loud these last few years.

karri has some excellent videos on the use of Video Wave. I'm not sure if anyone has a tip specific to adjusting color of a clip since it is so easy.

 

From experience though, if the video has some really bad color sections, the auto correct color will be a problem. It seems to take the worst color and put that on the entire video.

 

BTW, the adjustment for color is just above the preview window in Video Wave. I'm pretty sure that you can also adjust color when you are importing the video.

Thanks Jim I had a look in EMC 10 and 9 Tips and Tricks but could not find the topic. I hope that it is these old eyes that are failing me and not the fact that I just missed it. Could you help, I will gladly read about the problem if you could point me to it.

 

Thanks

There are many post in the Tips & Tricks that are related to video editing - there is not a single topic that covers everything. Many of the more "obscure" features are not there or in the tutorials or help files. Experimenting is the only way to learn some of these.

If you were to give a specific example of what you want to do, perhaps someone here can help. EMC 10 has the option to change contrast, brightness, saturation, etc. I have never had a need to use any of those features so far. I have an older version of Pinnacle but dumped it soon after I got EMC - I found EMC better in most features but things may have changed over the last versions.
