Filtering and First Compression
Working with such large files
is cumbersome and will probably cause all sorts of problems
later on when we try to compile them with sound and transitions,
so it's time to start up VirtualDub to filter, crop, and change
the codec the files. And they're in...
First we're going to select
"Video" and then "Filters" and then select
"HSV adjust."
From here we can wash some of the
color out (to give it a more "historic" look) by
reducing saturation, increasing the "Value" to make
it brighter. There's a preview pane so you can see what it
looks like with the filter applied. Make sure you run the
clip forward to ensure your sky isn't a deep purple!
There
are lots of other filters available, but today we're just
using the "HSV Adjust" because of a really valuable
option that comes with it — cropping.
Since this was flown and recorded
online, we have the connection bug in the right top corner
and text lines where folks were saying hello, being accused
of cheating, etc.
Highlight the "HSV Filter"
and click on "Cropping."
Take 40 off of the top, which will
conceal the chat lines...
...then click "OK".
