Can you lighten videos in Quicktime?

I have some videos that, on my camera look fine, but when uploaded to the computer, are very dark. Is there any way I can lighten them up using Quicktime Pro?

Yes. QuickTime export "Movie to QuickTime Movie" allows you to select "filters".
Set the playhead to a representative frame of your video. Export and click on the Video button to set the compression settings and the audio button for choosing audio codecs. Click on the Filters button in the export dialog and use the Brightness and Contrast or HSL Balance filter. Adjust the sliders and use the small preview image to get things the way you want.
Compressing (exporting) already compressed files will degrade the video quality a bit and your newer file may be a bit larger in file size. Try to match the codecs and rates found in the source at export.

  • Can you record video usb webcam

    Can you record video using final cut pro from a usb webcam? you can do that with quicktime. Can you do that with final cut pro? i tried import video from camera but it only shows isight camera that is built in the macbook.

    You can record live video from the built-in iSight camera that is standard in most macs (in fact, all but the Mac Pro and Mini). From other cameras, I doubt it. Of course, you can record with Quicktime Player and use the recorded video inside FCP X. But beware, many webcams have very low quality, low frame rate and size, so don't expect to get great video.

  • ImageJ in Yosemite can not import video from QuickTime plugin

    ImageJ in Yosemite can not import video from QuickTime plugin.... it seems can not found QuickTime_Capture.jar within QuickTime_Plugins.jar but I'm sure it is in the plugin directory.
    I google this problem but not luck!

    Thank you Benjt and Sue:
    I have first chosen to followed Sue's suggestion concerning the firewire connections since that looked to be the one most easily done quickly. I therefore had to make more room on the hard drive in my MacBook Pro since the drive is only 100 GB. I normally use an external 400GB drive to hold my video files since one of the plays last May required about 200GB! However, the play this time was a short one and not really High Density anyway like the one was in May with a much finer camera. I have been connecting the external HD via Firewire800.
    I simply moved a number of files from my MacBook Pro drive and put them in the external HD as well as another HD and then disconnected the external HD from my MacBook. I was, indeed, able to import the entire tape in one shot into iMovie. iMovie is still not working right since I found that I had to click "import" in iMovie to start collecting a clip and then hit "play" on my camcorder to actually import the tape contents into the clip. I found the whole play, just 50 min this time, in that clip when we returned home this evening.
    I can now get the editing done one their last play for the kids and have DVDs for them when I go back up to Gainesville to record their current play on Thursday evening.
    I will then devote some time to trying to solve the rest of the problem, looking into Benjt's suggestions.
    Thanks very much for your very timely critical and positive help this afternoon. For your information, I also have been working on learning Final Cut Express but as I tried to put all of my reading into practice, I now I can't even get FCE to open - but that's another story and a very different problem.
    Thanks again.

  • Can you import video directly from a video camera ?

    Can you import video directly from a video camera to the iPad 2 ? If so, what is needed?

    I would say no. I have an Ipad2 with the connection kit. A recent Sony camera which works fine in imovie for my 27" imac, but nothing with the Ipad. Only thing that it finds are pictures that can be made with the same video camera. Apple wrote a note aboit probkmes with importing, but i'm very disappointed with what i have right now.

  • Can you import video from a DVD?  If so how

    Can you import video from a DVD? I have some home DVD's made on my PC. My PC program (Roxio) allowed me to pull clips off of a DVD, but I can not seem to figure out how to do it with iMovie on my Mac.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Hi, I'll see if I can help. The only way I know of importing directly from iMovie off of a DVD is with a converter box hooked up to an external DVD player. However there are a few freeware programs you could try. One is Handbrake, with it you can convert your DVD into a MPEG-4 file, this is incredibly easy however the quality will be a little lower than that of a DVD. Another program is MactheRipper which will rip the entire DVD onto your hard drive but you will have to hunt through all the files to find the ones you want. I hope this helps.

    Can you bring video from a DVCam tape using a DSR 2000 into Final Cut Pro?

    Should work OK with the iLink (a.k.a. Firewire a.k.a. IEE1394a) interface, but you may have to capture using iMovie, then ( in FCX) running File > Import > iMovie Events.)

    Shouldn't be a problem, unless you want to view it in Full Screen Mode at the same time with only one display.

    Hello Donny,
    Thanks for your post.
    Can you share a video on the trail version, if so how. Can you share a video on the purchased version?
    Sure. Choose File > Export > Media. In the Publishing tab, you can upload your encoded videos straight to YouTube or Vimeo.
    Does that info help?
