STANDARD EFFECTS
This section describes four of the five effects included
in the Standard RTFX group at the top the Studio
effects browser. The fifth, Pan and zoom, is covered
under “The pan-and-zoom effect interface” on page
188.
Auto color correction, Noise reduction and Stabilize are
classified as cleaning effects, which help correct
defects in the source video, such as noise and camera
shake.
Note: Studio’s video cleaning effects are general-
purpose filters designed to reduce the most common
problems found on a wide range of material. They are
not a panacea. Your results will vary depending on the
original material and the severity and nature of the
problems.
Auto color correction
This effect compensates for incorrect color balance in
your video. The idea is similar to the “white balance”
setting on a camcorder.
Brightness: Color correction may affect the brightness
of the image. You can apply a manual correction, if
needed, with this slider. (Technically, the control
modifies the “contrast gamma” of the image rather than
its actual brightness.)
