Effects

MAGIX Fastcut offers a wide range of video effects.
For action clips the following effects are very useful:
"Color" (4) effects page
• Auto Brightness (5): Sometimes the colors in GoPro clips look a bit soft and dull.
In this case it helps to activate the Auto Brightness option to generate brilliant
colors!
• Back light correction (6): This effect is very helpful for creating nicer colors in
shadows and dark areas in your clips. It is perfect for optimizing a sunset
atmosphere.
"Speed" effects page
• Slow motion/Fast motion: Sometimes your action clip does not look as fast as it
felt while filming it. It may help to increase the video speed by a certain factor.
Try out 1.2 to 1.3 to create the look of rapid action rides. But don't overdo it!
"Optimize" (1) effects page
• Lens Correction (2): With this tool it
is easy to correct a bent horizon or
other crooked lines in your clips. Just
select the right GoPro setting
("Narrow", "Medium" or "Wide")
and use the slider to fine tune.
• Image stabilization (3): Often action
clips are a little bit shaky, e.g. after a
rough ski ride. Shaky clips can
usually be stabilized, making them
look smoother and softer.
