Calibrating video clips
If you have captured or inserted a video file whose colors you were unable
to properly calibrate (adjust) in Video Capture, you can do so directly from
Video Editor with the Clip: Color Calibration command (or right-click the
clip and select Color Calibration). This method uses Video Editor as a post
production tool to adjust the color. To properly use the Color calibration
command, your video file needs to have a color bar test pattern which was
created by the video source, and included with the file at the time of
capture, otherwise this command has no benefit.
Note: For more on color calibration, see the Video Capture section, 'Calibrating
your display', page 79.
Freezing a frame
A common technique in video editing is freezing a frame during playback. In
Video Editor this is done by clicking Clip: Freeze Frame.
To freeze a frame during playback:
1. Select a clip and then split the audio from the video (see page 135).
2. Right-click the clip and select Freeze Frame. The Freeze Frame dialog
box opens (or use the Clip: Freeze Frame command).
3. Use the slider under the Preview window to find the frame you want to
freeze.
4. Check Freeze before frame or Freeze after frame, or both, and set
the appropriate values (see the following Notes for details).
5. Click OK.
