Video levels how to

i am frustrated here because i opened the audio panel and it appears for can make instant on-the-fly adjustments of your audio.  so now i'm trying to just tweak the whole video portion of my clip.  i keep trying to drag the video effect to the clip on the timeline, but i cannot figure out how to actually apply the video effect to the clip so i can see the result in the program monitor.
i don't have a step-by-step book to do this and although i love adobe's products, their online help is always generic and not enough detail to figure things out.  i do wish they had real-world step by step tips on how to do things.  anyway here's my screenshot and i simply cannot figure out how to apply opacity, video levels and so on to the clip.  i apologize for this and hope someone can help me.

Have a look at Andrew Davis' tutorials especially the one called Understanding Transform Effects Part 1.
Very easy to follow.

Andrew calls them Transform Effects but they are in fact Fixed Effects (slip of the tongue)

  • Visualizing video levels (oscilloscope or histogram)

    I'm an old television engineer, and I'm used to seeing video on an oscilloscope so I can adjust the brightness and contrast to get proper white and black levels. In FCE, it appears I have to eyeball the video and guess about the dynamic range of my content. There's no objective measuremnet tool. A histogram would help. For example, how can I tell if I'm clipping the whites? Am I missing a simple way to visualize the video levels?

    Jeffery, FCE has no scopes on its own. There may be plug-ins, I'm not sure. You can search Version Tracker. I believe Final Cut Pro has Scopes, not sure how useful they are.
    Ian, I wish I was in your situation. As a freelance editor for several wedding studios, I am often forced to work with some very sub par footage. Many of the cameramen involved have fairly hi-end, 3 chip cameras ... and I am often struggling with bad focus, bad lighting, bad contrast, etc.
    Eyeballing is how I go about it, but I find FCE's Color Corrector my useful tool. When I find a shot that actually has the proper contrast and color temp for the scene, I use that (and some tweaking with the Mids) to color match the funkier shots.
    Too bad that hi-end equipment does not always equate to hi-end product. Oh well, that is what they pay me for

  • Can't adjust video levels in capture tool

    I'm using a Blackmagic Multibridge Pro as my I/O but when I try to digitize, the video input levels are hot. i want to adjust them in the capture tool but it's grayed out. I'm capturing from a Beta SP deck with a component signal. Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    page 243 in the FCP6 manual states that "video levels can only be adjusted for analog video interfaces" it says nothing else. i'd rather adjust the levels from the source anyway whatever medium I am working in anyway. you might else well stick with that.

  • Youtube/Vimeo Video Milky (video levels)

    Youtube and Vimeo videos are rendered with video levels, and not full range. Therefore all videos look washed out. Is there a fix for this?

  • Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Thanks!  For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine.  It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do.  The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
    So, thanks anyway!  Pretty cat!

  • I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

    I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?  I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

    If you add a new  slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data),  to an existing presentation then save,  Keynote will only save the new content to the file,  it wont save  pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
    The time  taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

  • Video KB -- How Do I?

    A project I have been working on in my spare time is to make videos about how to do simple tasks that my customers continually ask.
    Recently it was pointed out to me, it would be a good idea to share this project here in the IronPort Community forums.
    www.videokb.com is a web site I have built that has a number of videos on the WSA and how to do thing.
    A couple of days ago I put up a new video on how to create notification messages. I you wanted to see this content then all you need to do is click on this link or copy it into a browser:
    http://www.videokb.com/?ShowMe=ZGEwYTAzND
    All videos have a link under them so you can share the content without the person having to dig around and find it. Most videos are 5 minutes in length, however as you will see from the Introduction to Access policies for the WSA, it takes a lot longer. I am slowly adding more indepth videos as time permits.
    This project is a work in progress, things I have planned in the future are:
    1. Enable anyone to add videos and mange them, current you can only add videos.
    2. Create more channels around Cisco products
    3. Inprove the layout of each of the product tabs and the videos under them
    4. Add the search functionaility
    5. Let users register with the site as part of the video management feature
    6. Create a public twitter account that people can follow and have the site publish to the twitter account when new content is available.
    7. Provide a method to rate the videos
    8. Provide a method to give feedback.
    Anyway, I hope the site helps, I know it has saved me retyping the same answer over and over as the common questions get asked.
    Cheers
    Shane

    Connect the phone to the computer. Once it recognizes it is there and Autoplay opens, click on Open Folder to View files. This will open the folder that contains the photos/video files. If you can identify the one that is causing the problem, try and drag it to the desktop by itself. Also, not to judge you, but next time try and move them over a little more often. XP has a difficult time dealing with these files in large groups.

  • I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

    I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos".  How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two?   I just want to add a feature.  Thanks

    Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
    You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
    Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

    You can go to Applications, Utilities, Activiy Monitor to see just how much space is available.  To free space you need to remove files that take a lot of space, things like videos, photos, music.  Get an external hard drive, OWC http://www.macsales.com has a good selection, and move material off the internal drive.

    Hello Kiira Doon,
    The troubleshooting steps detailed below may help get your iPhone's display to function.
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?Contact Apple Support.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)
