Appling Video Filter in Media Studio

[heiber]

When I try to apply a video filter in Mediastudio (such as adjust contrast / brightness), it appears the filter is getting applied like a time dependant transition. For example, over the course of the clip, the brightness is adjusted from 0 - 100%.

I want to apply a specific adjustment and apply it consistently through the whole clip.

What am I doing wrong?

When you apply the filter, you should observe a pop-up dialogue.

The dialogue features two small screens.

Look at the screen on the left.

Below the screen, you should observe what is called a KEYFRAMER.

To apply the filter to the entire clip:

1. Click the diamond at the far left of the keyframer so that its color is RED;

2. Set your filter settings as desired;

3. Next - click the diamond at the far right of the keyframer;

4. Then set your filter settings to be identical to the settings you chose for the first keyframe.

In this way, the effect will be applied - CONSTANTLY - to the entire clip.

Hope this helps,
