Use of video effects

I wonder if there's a novice out there like me who has tried to edit effects for an old VHS and found some short cuts? eg. I have an video that's only about 20 years old but because it was taken inside at night it's quite dark and grainy, not to mention the movement from the amateur photographer?
Instead of playing around with controls like brightness, saturation etc which seems endless, are there any quick tips out there?
thanks,

As Bill points out, video from a old VHS source would be difficult to enhance as it would kick the grains high and the output might start looking more shabby.
What I would do here is that - (after enhancing the clip to whatever extent you can) Import these clips in a bigger project setting and then Scale these clips down and place them in the center to create a picture in picture kind of effect. With the backgroud being the same clip scaled up to fit the entire screen, but may be with Black and white effect applied and with a good amount of blur applied, so that the background movie does not disturb the foregroud clip.
This trick helps solve a couple of things if nicely done.
1) The old VHS footages are usually of smaller dimension and nowadays the playback monitors are usually HD ones - Creating a Picture in Picture (Video in Video) effect helps showing up the VHS footage in a smaller window and it atleast gives a feel that the video quality has improved a bit.
2) Having the same clip, blurred and with some effects, gives a feel that the entire screen is filled with relevant content.
Do try with a small portion of your footage and check if this helps.

Help with adding video effects.

Okay, so I am very new with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and decided to start working with video effects.
So far I can add an effect onto a video clip that I dragged down from the source monitor, but that applies the effect to the whole video track. I want it to start and end at a certain point.
I have read the Adobe Help Viewer on effects many times over and over, but still, I cannot get it to work.
I have set in and out put points in my Timeline, and went into the effects controls and peaked around, but have had no success at all with getting my effect to start and end at a certain point.
Can anyone help me out a little bit? I'm sure you are all Pro's at this, haha.

You will also find links to many
free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

Keyframing video effects??? Please help

hello, I am trying to keyframe a video effect, "line art" in particular off...eg have line art keyframe to the original clip. Within the filters tab of the viewer I only have options to keyframe specific parameters of this effect however there are no combinations of these parameters that will allow me to keyframe back to the origianal video.
The only way that i can do something similar is to stack the same clip on 2 tracks and keyframe opacity.
Is there an easier way??
Thanks for your help

I'm not having trouble with dissolve keyframing. Im using 9 individual frames to make a grid with transitions throghout. < </div>
That's a completely different situation than the one you posted originally.
Nest the nine frames. Apply individual keyframes as you call them for other effects to the separate layers in the upstream sequence. Apply your dissolve or keyframe off as you say to the nested sequence in the downstream version.

Premiere Elements 7: track matte key video effect does not work?

I want to use the track matte key video effect to fade out some cropped video clips. So I did a test:
first track: video clip
second track: PNG file, black with white circle
third track: video clip with FX with second track (here: Video 5) and luminance
As you can see in the picture the small preview pic above the effects shows the effect like I expected: a circle with the content of the third, lowest, clip. But the large video preview shows the first clip.
What did I do wrong?
I tested other settings and track orders. No efforts.

Bill, thanks again for your help! Good tutorial. That's what I need in principle! My try was a bit more complicated ...
But I can't help. The white area stays (see screenshot top left corner). Only some of the small blurred area around the shape shines through as I could see playing around without blurring the video clip.
I used:
title with white (it is 100% white) shape and blur effect above
video clip with track matte effect and matte alpha on the title track, reversed (blur effect on whole clip like in the tutorial)
Rendering and export does not change anything.
I'm feeling a bit stupid.

What are the video effects used in this video

I was just wondering if anybody could help me. I was intrigued to find out what kind of video effect is used in this video at 0:16 - 0:18 and if theres a name for this type of video and editing used throughout the video such as the continous stream of different videos etc.

Do you mean the distorted lips or the bad tv reception.
The distorted lips can be anything from Bulge to Mesh Warp to Liquefy.
The bad TV reception can be started with the Bad TV Effects Presets that comes with AE. You can modify or edit these as you like.
I know of no specific style name that goes along with any part of this video other than lazy. It looks like nobody had an idea of what they wanted to do so they just shot a bunch of stuff and threw every effect they had in their bag of tricks at the project. Turn off the sound and it's impossible to tell what it is about. I don't mean to be critical but there's not much original here that I haven't seen a zillion times going back to the Video Toaster days. (probably before you were born). It's nothing more than a bunch of quick cuts and jitter.
Load up about 100 layers, trim them do different lengths from 5 to 30 frames, Select half of them, apply Bad TV1 to that bunch, Apply Bad TV2 to the another 10 random layers. Add tint, bulge, to a few more. set a couple of position and rotate keyframes to a few more then add wiggle to those, then use the Keyframe Assistant to sequence the layers and you'll be pretty close. It should take you about 15 minutes.
If you've got a specific question about how they made this jitter or how they made time stutter ask away. If used to tell a story these techniques are all useful. If you just want to create a jarring montage then follow my suggestion in the previous paragraph then run Brainstorm a couple of times.

Unusable video effects in fcpx

fcpx 10.0.9, mac osx 10.8.5
video effects do not respond when scrolling over them (after having selected a clip), or turn black or pink. no preview available.
when moving them on top of a clip, they cannot be adjusted.
not all effects have this problem. only the Looks effects.
all settings of these effects are also set automatically to min. or max. when putting them on top of a clip.
I have reïnstalled FCPX, Motion and Compressor, without result.
It is also not possible to render or export/share the video directly within fxpx or compressor. Compressor scips all color corretion.
I have to make an 10bit uncompressed file first, then import in compressor. Then it works...
I cannot switch to fcpx 10.1, because ProTools is not working with Mavericks yet...
anyone experienced this before?
thanks

done that. didn't help.
just red something about a sony xdcam plugin.
deleted that also.
didn't work...

Video Effect to reduce lighting overexposure

Hey Everybody,
I am new to this forum and this my first post, so first off i'd like to say hi to everybody.
I am working on editing video i shot of a musician performing in a coffee house and am wondering which video effect to use in Final Cut Express 4 to remove or reduce lighting overexposure.
The ambient lighting in the coffee house was turned down via a dimmer to give the show more of an intimate feel to the video. There was a spotlight set up about five feet off the ground and approx. 2 feet to the left of the singer and slightly in front of the singer. This is the light source that is giving me problems with overexposure from time to time when she leans or steps forward.
I have supplied links to a couple of the videos as i have them posted on youtube but i want better quality video for the DVD i am making for the musician.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4gjLR-z4dU&feature=related
This next link gives a visual as to were the spotlight is set up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY8ySli2eNo
Another another note, i would like to know how to get rid of the red dot in the video. I am not sure of the source, i thought it might be a broken pixel within the camcorder but that red dot doesn't show up in any of my other videos i've shot.
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thank You.
I will give that plugin a try.
I won't be able to do a reshoot as i was filming a concert (with permission) so i only had one shot to get good video.
I've only been filming and editing music shows for three months now so i am still fairly new in the experience department and have some questions for curiosity sake and for future reference.
What do you mean by decode on a reshoot?
What is a field monitor and how do you check that its properly calibrated.
I have a Canon DC 330 SD Camcorder so it doesn't have an external iris adjustment, i do believe it has an internal iris adjustment. According to the user manual there is a built in manual exposure adjustment. Is the manual exposure adjustment the same thing as the iris?

Video effects for a horror/thriller trailer

I'm working on recutting a trailer as a different genre and I was wondering how to do a couple of effects. How do you do the white flash on the screen(not a dip to white transition but in the middle of the clip) and the flash that shows a negative of the original image like you see in some horror/thriller trailers?

Hi owiseone,
Here's how I would construct the effect.
Create the "negative image" effect.
Apply the Invert effect: Video Effects > Channel > Invert
Try different Channel Options. I chose "Lightness."
Desaturate the colors on the negative image.
Apply a Fast Color Corrector
Take Saturation down to 0.
Adjust the Input Levels slider to taste
Make the effect flash on and off with the original clip by using the Strobe effect, or by manually adding the effect to Add Edits.
First, do the following
Copy paste the clip to V2.
Remove effects from the clip on V1.
Do either of the following to the clip on V2:
Apply the Strobe Light effect: Video Effects > Stylize > Strobe Light and adjust parameters to taste.
With the Razor tool or the Add Edit keyboard shortcut, create splices that are several frames long, create them either the same length, or random durations. Delete portions of the clip between the add edits.
Play back the effect and adjust parameters until you're happy with the effect.
Set up a range to play In to Out
Enable Loop Playback
Adjust parameters in any of the effects as they play In to Out.
Hope that helps!

How do you preview the video effects?

Hi,
I am just wondering how to preview the video effects in Premiere Pro without having to add them to the timeline to view them. Anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Kerri

Kerri,
Much of where a Transition is positioned will depend on your Clips, themselves. Here's another topic for your "Autumn Reading List" - Handles.
The understanding of these will go a very long way to understanding the placement and operation of Transitions.
Here's a short bit on Handles, but the manual (if they still have those) and the Help files will give you a lot more info.
Initially, Handles are a bit of an abstract concept, but once you get it, you'll fully understand some of the behavior of Transitions. Well worth reading.
Good luck,
Hunt

AE video effects vs. PP video effect-CS4

Can someone tell me authoritatively if the AE video effects as a whole are superior to PP? I'm thinking the answer has to be yes, but what about color correction for 720p footage for subjects [faces]?
If you believe AE is superior, what is your opinion about Auto Color/Contrast/Levels, especially vs. PP Fast Color Corrector/Levels/Auto Color, etc.? I'm trying to avoid major expenditures on Magic Bullet products since my projects are only standard studio interviews and do not call for anything high caliber.
Thank you for your feedback.
Paul

Hi Rick.
I really appreciate the link to the free Colorista. I didn't know they had a free version. I'm looking forward to trying it, hopefully later today.
In the meantime, you were very gracious in asking for a screen shot. I'm giving you two, both raw footage shot on an Panasonic HVX-200p at 720p60. The first is what I'd consider shot with good lighting and the second, well, speaks for itself.
As you noted, this is an interview destined for a DVD curriculum (not a movie). I have to chroma key a background in AE anyway, so I was thinking that AE would be the best place to do this. Todd seemed to suggest in this thread that the AE & PP color correction tools are identical or at least work identically (the settings are the same), and that PP was in fact better for "quick color correction to an entire image", which is what I am looking to do since the whole thing was shot poorly with the key light too far away. I did do a quick test in AE using AutoColor and adjusted the White Clip down to .05% and got a pretty good result except that the inner eye sockets still looked very dark. Colorista may change the discussion entirely, however.
I deeply appreciate your willingess to help so actively.
Paul
Update: Just tried Colorista Free. The Highlight Control alone worked wonders. Looking forward to learning how to use it more. A very superior product.
Highlight adjusted only in Colorista Free, applied directly to the clip:

Applying video effects in Premiere at the track or media level?

Hello,
I am trying to adjust to the Premiere workflow, coming from Vegas, and have a question regarding the application of video effects. Premiere seems to apply effects at the clip level - for example, if there is a cut in the clip, the effect is only applied to a portion of the clip. Vegas allows for the application of effects at the media level - no matter how many cuts have been made - or at the track level. Is there something comparable in Premiere? I have been trying to apply the Neat Video effect, and the only thing I can think of is to select multiple clips when applying it, but it seems to crash Premiere when I do that. Any advice on making this work would be much appreciated.
On a related topic, does Premiere apply effects in a chain, as they are added, or does it automatically perform an reffect first if it should be applied first? In other words, does it matter in what order the effects are applied, and if so, is there a rough order of how they should be applied?

I'm running Premiere Pro 5.5 and have been able to lasso and apply my effects to several of my clips all at once.
Once you apply the effect and fine-tune (if need be), you can right-click and create a User Preset to help save time (say if all of your clips needed to be color corrected). The User Presets are the first folder listed in the Effects bin.
As far as the effects order are concerned, you pretty much have to play around with those yourself. I use a Video Limiter effect with a ProcAmp and have noticed that if they aren't in a certain order (the first listed effect is the first applied...) it changes how it looks and not always for the best. Best bet is to play around and see what order of video effects works best for you.
Good Luck!

Urgent, in the middle of project and missing ALL video effects!!!

I had to do a wipe and reload recently and when I reinstalled FCP I have NO video effects or audio effects in the viewer, nor when I click on Effects>Video Transition all greyed out.
I have Final Cut Studio 1 and did not install the whole studio suite-I only installed FCP from the suite as i am short on space on my MBP. I did install all the extra stuff outside the other apps.
Where are they???
BTW My plugins folder in the app support library has:
Text Scramble.bundle, Title 3d.bundle, Title Crawl.bundle, & Vector Shape.bundle

ok, I may have just screwed up... please read this forum to help me find out if I did or if something is really wrong.
