Colour Adjustment
can easily be applied
to an image by
keyframe. Presets are
Greyscale and Sepia,
or you can select your
own Custom colour
from
the
colour
picker.
By reducing the
degree of the colour
adjustment you can
acheive an ‘old faded’
photo effect should
you need to.
Again so much
easier to do in
PTE than in a
separate photo
editing program
and only needs
the one image.
Also by careful
use of Masks,
you can easily ‘colour pop’ a suitable greyscale image by keyframe.
Adjustable speed of video is another major new feature.
Under the Properties Tab of O&A, click on the down arrow
next to the video ‘Start Time’ to open up the video preview
window. Here you can set the speed of the video using the
slider, from 50 - half speed, to 200 - double speed. You can
also type in a number to go as low as 10%, useful to slow
down fast moving subjects such as flowing water or widlife.
Crop, allows you to
reformat a video or still
image to the Ratio of your
Project. Found on the
Properties Tab by clicking
‘Adjust Video (Image) and Border’. The set ratios
are 4:3, 5:4, 3:2, 15:9, 16:10, 16:9 and 1:1. So
no matter what format your images or Project it
is now easy to ensure they are all in the same
ratio. By using the sliders under Offset X and
Offset Y you can position your image within the
frame exactly as required.
