Making Video Adjustments

Click on the Adjustment button and then on the Manual tab to begin making adjustments to your video clips. Any adjustments you make are not auto-applied to the original video file. CyberLink ColorDirector keeps a log of all the adjustments you want to make, and then applies them to each video clip when it is rendered in the Production module. This leaves the original video clip untouched.

Adjustments can be made both globally (on the entire video frame, see Global Adjustment Tools) or regionally (on a specified area of the video frame only, see Regional Adjustment Tools). You can also apply adjustments to only the video frames you want to using keyframes. See Utilizing Keyframes for detailed information.

To make adjustments on video clips in the library, do this:

1.Select the video clips in the library panel that you want to adjust, and then drag and drop them into the storyboard panel.

Note: you can add more than one video clip to the storyboard panel for adjusting. However, all the video clips in the storyboard panel will be rendered into one longer video once produced in the Production window. If you do not want the video clips rendered together, you must add each of them to the storyboard separately, and then adjust and produce them one by one.

2.Click on the Adjustment button.
3.Select the specific video clip in the storyboard that you want to adjust.
4.Make all the adjustments on the video clip as required.

Note: you can also choose to apply adjustment presets to instantly transform your video clips. See Using Adjustment Presets for more information.

5.If required, select another video clip in the storyboard and make adjustments.
6.When you are done adjusting each video clip in the storyboard panel, click on the Production button to render them with the adjustments applied. See Production for more detailed information.
