Included Video filters
601 Correction – Expand Color Space – This video filter expands the RGB range of the video from 16-235 to 0-255. Use this filter to create output for a system that uses the full 0-255 range from input that uses 16-235.
601 Correction – Shrink Color Space – This video filter shrinks the RGB range of the video from 0-255 to 16-235. Use this filter when create output for a system that uses the 16-235 range from input that uses the full 0-255 range.
709 Correction – SD/HD Color Space – This video filter is used to convert video in the SD (601) colorspace to the HD (709) colorspace. Broadcast HD video uses YCbCr colors following Rec. ITU-R BT 709-5 where as broadcast SD video follows ITU-R BT 601.
Bitmap Keying – Superimpose a bitmap logo or graphic on the video. This is often used to watermark video so it can be personalized.
Black/White Correction – This filter lets you adjust and control the levels of black and white pixels in your video. By adjusting the sliders, you can specify at which point a pixel will become black and/or white. The higher the setting, the more nearly black pixels will be converted to true black and vice versa. This works best if you are encoding video for the Web and need to adjust the black and/or white levels of broadcast video so that they are truly black or white. It’s also useful for making white titles on a black background more legible when viewing on a computer monitor.
Blur – This filter blurs the video in a rectangular pattern.
Circular Blur – This filter blurs the video in a circular pattern.
Color Correction – This filter allows you to adjust the brightness, contrast, hue and saturation of your video image.
Color Safe – Some colors that can be displayed on a computer cannot be displayed on television or video output. This filter restricts the colors in the source to only colors that are safe for television and video broadcast.
Crop – Remove unwanted edges on the video with this filter. This is often used for removing any edge blanking or other unwanted video information from the top or bottom of the video frame.
Fade In/Out – This filter applies a fade in and/or out to your video in order to aid the encoding process. You should use this filter if your source video has a lot of fast motion in the first few frames. The fade in gives ProCoder 3 a “running start” so it can encode your video more efficiently.
Gamma Correction – This filter adjusts your video’s gamma settings.
Gaussian Blur – This filter applies a Gaussian blur to the video.
Median – This filter is designed to improve picture quality by removing single-pixel defects without affecting the sharpness. This is similar to a despeckle filter.
Pulldown – This filter offers conversion without interpolation for progressive-to-interlaced (i.e. film-to-video) file conversion. This preserves full spatial image quality and creates target fields that are selected from the nearest temporal source frame. Displaying the resulting file on a progressive display, such as a computer monitor, produces very noticeable interlacing artifacts. However, displaying this on an interlaced display, such as a television, produces very good image quality. This method is generally used when cinematographic footage is encoded to a DVD and played on a TV.
Rotate – This filter provides 90-degree rotation and axis-flipping for the video.
Sharpen – This filter sharpens the video using the “unshapen mask” technique.
Temporal Noise Reducer – This filter removes noise by using temporal noise reduction. Temporal noise reduction is effective for removing analog noise.
