Brightness control for entire track

Specific to Premiere Elements Version 7.

Brightness control for entire track

Postby sea_bdonohue » Fri Sep 18, 2009 3:33 pm

Is there an easy way to adjust brightness or, for audio, volume of all the clips in one track in a single adjustment (instead of clip by clip)?

Thanks.

Audio can be controlled in Sceneline that way, not sure about the video however.
I wouldn't think it would allow adjusting a whole track.
That takes a lot more CPU, RAM and Rendering time to make that kind of adjustment to multiple video clips.
Be careful how much you change brightness, contrast, saturation and things like that.

You can export the project so you end up with a single clip, then you can adjust it all at one time, Brightness and audio both.

Thanks, Chuck. Is it possible to just refresh my all clips in one fell swoop from the source video?

Not exactly sure what you mean by 'refresh', can you give me a little more detail on what you want to do?

My original footage is pretty good. Somehow, in making several recent saved versions, the brightness/contrast has degraded. I wonder if I can somehow "update" the clips by resyncing them with the original saved .avi file, thereby making the brightness/contrast consistent again.

Thanks in any case.

I don't know how the footage could degrade like that.
You can clear the cache and delete the Preview/render files, that might do the trick.
The Preview files are in a folder where your project file is located.
You can clear the cache by going to the Edit menu / Preferences / Media / Clean
