Video filter for projecting

my videos look washed out on my projector, broadcast safe never makes a difference, is there a filter that i can use to keep the quality so that my video can will be very close to what i produced.

You are comparing the image coming from your computer or television which emits light to a projector screen which reflects light.
The reflected image from a projection screen is much more susceptible to interference from ambient lighting conditions -one reason why movie theatres have dark colored walls, as well as very low lighting. Theatre screens also have a special chemical, aluminum or glass bead coating to amplify the contrast.
Projecting onto the wall of a typical home or conference room where the walls more often than not are light colors, increases the amount of ambient light and reduces the contrast.
As Studio X points out, using a calibrated external monitor will let you know that the video signal is good, but that all goes out of the window if the screen and room are not optimized for projection.

How do you save a custom search filter for projects/ library?

Is there a way to save a customized default for the way I will use search filter options?
I've looked everywhere... It seems the seach filter for every project just wants to behave on it's own accord.
Most of the time, I just want to search different projects the same way with one, filtered result!

The Filter settings are sticky. Every container listed on the Library tab of the Inspector keeps it's own Filter settings, set to whatever was last used.
I'm not aware of any way to set a default Filter.
You could create a Folder and put a Smart Album in that Folder with "Source" set to the Folder. Any Albums or Projects you put in the Folder become the superset for the Filter you set in the Smart Album. This is a pretty sophisticated set-up, however. What is the filter you need, and how often do you need it?

Video filter for dark video?

I have some video shot in a dark party, is there a video filter that will help (as much as it can, I'm not expecting miracles!)
Thanks!

There are several filters which will lighten your video but of course you will get increased video noise (grain).
Go to Effects>Video Filters>Image Control and try the Brightness, Gamma or Level filters.

Estimating Video Size for Project

Hello All,
I have captured 626x480 video from a camcorder and wish to author a dvd5 project but I am uncertain as to how to estimate the video's running time such that it fits onto a 4.7gb dvd. Is this a way in imovie to notify the user if such a video would surpass this limit?
My workflow would be the following, edit the raw footage then export the video (Large 720x540) and from idvd import the video file. Does this make sense?
Thanks.

iDVD has a hard limit of 2 hours total video on a DVD-5, including video embedded in menus. By minimizing the length of menu video loops I have been able to get up to 115 minutes of actual video using the Professional Quality option for DVD compression (which takes longer to process).
If you want to include extras such as still photos on the DVD, you will reduce your running time proportionally to the space they use.
The expensive professional compression software in Final Cut Studio will let you get more video on a DVD by using a lower bit rate, if you are willing to accept a loss in quality. You also have to be willing to learn how to use a very complex program with a lot of options.

Need Video Effects for project (see what kind in description)

Need background flames, inversion of colors, bluring, and the ability to put pictures on top of the current video.
Sorry for being so blunt.

not with iM08/09..
for iMHD6 there are $$ plug-ins avail, which add this to iMovie..
consider usage/purchase of FinalCutExpress for elaborated editing and post production ..

Best Video Filter for blown footage

I have footage shot with the iris open too wide. Can anyone suggest the best filter or combination of filters to use to correct the footage or am I completely hosed? Currently I've tried a combination of brightness/contrast and gamma corrections and have managed the results below, but sure would be open to suggestions to improve this. Thanks to all.

Rithu,
This would be a good place to start: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff628958(v=office.14).aspx
There are also several videos on Youtube as well. I am not sure if there is a 'structured' course available for Project Server 2010

'Video Filter Missing' Exporting AE CS4 project into Premiere Pro CS4 project

Hey guys,
I am new to Premiere and AE, and I just made a short little intro for my current project in After Effects using a couple different effects and such. When I go to export my AE project and make it into a Premiere Project file it will not let me open the project properly, it says:
D:\Premiere Projects\AFC Title2.prproj
Video Filter missing: AE.ADBE Exposure2
Video Filter missing: AE.ADBE Glo2
Video Filter missing: AE.CC Particle World
How do I fix this? Can I get the video filters for Premiere so that it recognizes them?
Thanks,
Andrew

Are you planning on editing the material you're moving from AE to PPro? Not that you can't, but that's sort of a backwards workflow (ie. usually you edit in PPro, and then move the sequence to AE for effects, etc.). Or are you just trying to export from PPro?
Do you have the Production Premium bundle? If so, you could use Dynamic Link to put your AE comp into a PPro timeline, without having to worry about missing filters. You could also render from AE, and then import the rendered movie into PPro.
Finally, you can make (most of) the Cycore effects work in Premiere; this includes Particle World. Simply copy the AEX plugins from the After Effects program folder, into the Premiere Pro program folder (you'll have to dig into a couple of subfolders to find the effects). You'll then have access to most of them in Premiere Pro, though they don't all work the same in the PPro interface. The other two are, I believe, AE-only plugins, and are locked to that program--they won't work in PPro, no matter what.

How can I keep the edited video which in project into Libray for re-edit ?

How can I keep the edited video which in project into Libray for re-edit later ??
As i used i movie 06 before....
after i imported the videos in to the library, then i can drag the videos to the timeline(now is project)
then edit it.
After that i can just drag all the timeline clips which is edited to the library.So I can keep it for next time if i wanna re-edit.
But Now if did all the editing at the library clips then drag to project, i can not drag the project clips back to library, so how can i keep it for my editing safty?
I do not wanna to edit again the same clips from the library!!! as i need to edit many different short clips together then export to individual videos, and i may need to re-edit.
or i can keep the edited video in project, then i can selected the clips which i willing to export, the rest video who in the project will not be export at the same video? I m wondering....
please help!!! Urgent!!

Just keep the project. Then you can just duplicate the project and make the next set of changes as needed. By duplicating the project, you are not duplicating the event, just the links to the event library.
This way you are not eating up disk space.
Does that help?

Looking for an Earthquake, or Explosion type of transition or Video Filter

Hello Hello
How ya doin guys?
Does anyone know what Video Filter, or transition will closely appear as an explosion? Like iMovie's 'Earthquake Transition'
I tried a few filters, and I also tried the 'Explode', and 'Implode transitions', but unfortunately nothing is as nicely done in terms of 'exploding', or 'violent movement' as the 'Earthquake Transition' in iMovie.
Thanx

Hi(Bonjour)!
In FCE set in and out in timeline, to set the part to be FX'ed with explosion.
Use File-->export to livetype command and select the place where you want to save this movie.
This movie had to be imported in livetype, on the lowest track in timeline.
Start a new project in LT (with project properties similar to those in FCE).
Do Command-i to import your exported movie. Drag your movie in timeline to background portion of timeline. This procedure will allow to export your final FX movie without the movie in background.
Select object tab in media browser, and select Detonate (there are many objects and livefonts that be used to create explosion- do some experiments). You'll get a nice explosion. Tweak this "object" (size, attribute, timing, etc) and click Apply to new track button.
In the timeline of LT, place this object over your background.
When everything is adjusted, do an export movie-be sure to uncheck "render background".
Save this movie.
Now in FCE, import this FX movie and put it over your clip in timeline. Voilà, a nice explosion.

I have a 5minute video in iMovie'11. I need to export in the highest quality for projection in a cinema theatre. Please advise as to best setting to accomplish this.

If it looks good on your tv it will look good at the cinema.
The resolution will still be 720x480/576 if a dvd player is hooked up to the projector.

Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?

Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?
I want to edit video taken with a Canon Powershot SD 550 taken in NTSC 640 x 480. When I start a new project, which project settings should I be using? Also when exporting the project to view on a computer should I stick with the AVI or will MPEG or another universal format give me better end quality?

Hunt,
This user has two thread topics here that are identical to ones at the forum which I frequent. Early on I downloaded video from the Canon Powershot that he says he is using for the basis of my comments. So, I have put that video through gspot myself. Since the user is going between the two forums (mostly here), I did not want anything lost in the back and forth. The goal is to help attainment of the goal. That is why I am including comments at both locations:
At The Other Forum
Project Settings Thread
http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52299
Rotation Thread
http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52298
The user has gotten back to me on the video rotation issue, thanking me, but telling me that another workflow was identified...and, as I note, generously shared with both sites. I am in the process of personally checking out what he said worked for him in that regard. However, the user has not gotten back to me on the topic of project settings.
So to expedite matters, when you get a chance, could you please check out my comments in that thread? I would be interested in your perspective on the matter and what I wrote.
Thanks.

Low pass filter for video

Does anyone know of a video filter that would work similar to a Low Pass filter in audio?
I inherited some DV-25 footage that has a properly lit person along side some terribly flaring windows. It occurred to me that since DV cameras shoot super-white levels, if I had a low pass filter I could simply lop off everything above 90% (229-229-229 rgb) which is where the offending window flare lives. I can see this in the waveform. The highlights in the guy's head are at about 88%, so everything above that is useless and annoying.
Clamping or clipping the video signal will retain the offending part of the image, just smashing it down among the useful part of the signal. Filtering out everything above 90% should give me a much more pleasing image.
Is there such a filter?

There may be something else available, but the closest thing I can think of is the 3-Way Color Corrector. Use it to lower the highlights to where you want them. You could also try the Captain's Blowout Fixer filter: http://pistolerapost.com/pluginz/index.html

Video Filter missing: AE.keylight 906?

Hi,
I am a complete noob when it comes to editing video in Adobe. I've been looking for a solution to my problem in other places, but my attempts were futile.
Here's what I did:
I edited a video clip in Adobe After Effects, dealt with the green screen using Keylight, then exported my work as an Adobe Premiere Pro Project. Once that was done, I tried opening the project in Premiere and a window popped up saying "Video Filter missing: AE.keylight 906." I clicked OK and found that Premiere does not show my edited green screen. It merely shows the original - I think I'm right in saying that is because the video filter is missing, as the message stated. How do I fix this? Help please!
Thank you for your time.

My guess for the choppiness would be that you used the default uncompressed render settings from After Effects; this likely made a very large file that, unless you have a really stout and fast hard drive setup (e.g. RAID), you will not get real time playback. Uncompressed is good in that, well, it's uncompressed and therefore doesn't add any further image degradation, but it can make for a lousy editing experience, as you've found.
Depending on what your source footage is (you didn't mention this originally), and what your intended destination/delivery format is, you might be able to use different render/export settings from After Effects for a more playable file in Premiere. Later, you could rerender the composition to the uncompressed version and replace the original; this will give you better performance for further editing in Premiere, and then later will give you higher quality output. This is often referred to as proxy editing, and there are a couple of ways you can go about this, if it's something you want to attempt.
Regarding the loss of edits when moving from Premiere: there shouldn't be any loss of edit points, necessarily, but what you might be thinking of is the loss of transitions. Since Premiere Pro works with tracks and After Effects works with layers, the two programs have different methods of representing and creating transitions (e.g. dissolves). In Premiere, you can put two clips next to each other in the sequence on a single track, and add a dissolve between them; however, in After Effects, a layer can only contain one footage item, so to create a transition between two layers, they must overlap. There are analogs for certain transitions--a dissolve, for example, is just a change in opacity of one layer that is over another--but other more "fancy" transitions must be recreated more manually. In short, you shouldn't have to worry about the timing of your edit in Premiere changing when moving to After Effects, whether you use Dynamic Link or whether you simply copy and paste from Premiere into AE.
Hope that helps a bit more. And Mr. Brougham is my dad's name
