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 selecting Clip: Freeze Frame.
To freeze a frame during playback:
1. Select a clip and then split the audio
from the video (see page 155).
2. Right-click the clip and select Freeze
Frame. The Freeze Frame dialog box
opens.
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 then
click the corresponding arrow button.
You can also directly enter the
timecode and set it as the frame to
freeze. (See notes on the next page for
details.)
5. Enter how long you want the selected
frames to be "frozen" in Freeze
duration.
6. Click OK.
If you need to edit the freeze frame attributes, select then right-click the clip
and choose Freeze Frame from the pop-up menu. If you only need to
change the freeze duration, you can press [
video clip in the Timeline.
