Color Saturation on Output

alanek wrote on 6/21/2002, 9:53 AM

Is there a way to adjust saturation, for the WHOLE project, when rendering to tape (or .mp2 for that matter)? My final product is oversaturated. I know I can use filters to adjust the events, but since I have tons of stills (over 200), and because they look okay in preview, that would take forever! Thanks.

Add the hsl filter to Video Ouput FX. Changes will affect all video in the project.

I've found that I use the new Color Saturation filter all the time when working with DV. The default Boost Midtones adds a level of color to my DV stuff (from a Sony camera) that makes it look more like TV quality. I thought this one was worth the whole price of the new plug-in pack. I usually add it to the track filters which makes it work across the whole track.

not to be stupid, but...how do I add an effect to "Video Output FX?" Do you mean "Track FX?"

Geez... everyone is just dancing around the how-to part! Nobody really said how yet.

Open whatever filter you want to apply to the WHOLE video. Drag and drop it on the preview window. Done.

It's in the Color Saturation Filter that comes with the new plug-in pack.
