Introduction

The Image framing and correction dialog box allows several actions :
The image settings are made shot by shot. So, every shot have its own settings and the way from a shot to the other one defined the way from a settings to an other one creating a shot animation: it's Ken Burns effects. Here are some:
This dialog box is called since two others dialog box when you click the button :

Description of the dialog box

Framing


The framing of an image is defined by 5 values:
  • The horizontal position from the left (X). This position is expressed in percentage total (%) of the width of the image.
    Example: if X=25 % then the 1st quarter to the left of the image is eliminated.

  • The vertical position from the top of the image ( Y ). This position is expressed in percentage total (%) of the height of the image.
    Example: if Y=25 % then the 1st quarter at the top of the image is eliminated.

  • The with. This value is expressed in percentage total (%) of the width of the image.
    Example: if Width=33 %, then the re-framed image will represent 1/3 of the image.

  • The height. This value is expressed in percentage total (%) of the height of the image.
    Example: if Height=33 %, then the re-framed image will represent 1/3 of the image.

  • The rotation angle for z axis. This position is expressed in degree.
    Example: if rotation=90 ° then the image is turned by a quarter to the right.

You can use + and - buttons of every input field to make the settings, either seize directly the values for 5 parameters.
Or then, you can use the interactive zone to make the framing with the mouse or with the keyboard.

With the mouse:
With the keyboard:
Note: when the image does not correspond to the geometry of the video to be produced, transparent zones appear. For example: an 4:3 image used in a 16:9 project will be shown by default with a transparent zone of every quoted.

The following buttons assist to the image framing:

Enable or disable the magnetic rules: When rules are enabled, the mouse will automatically be enticed towards the edges of the photo, facilitating the framing.

Define automatically the framing to the width of the image. If the image is too high to fill the frame, the high and low parts will be cut.
Define automatically the framing to the height of the image. If the image is too wide to fill the frame, the right and left parts will be cut.

Define automatically the framing to the diagonal of the image. The framing is adjusted by such goes out in the fact that the image is fully seen.

Turn the image to the left (on the multiple fellow man of 90°).
Turn the image to the right (on the multiple fellow man of 90°).

Image correction

Image corrections allow to clear up or to darken the image in the faults of the following three values:
Image corrections also allow to modify the colorization of an image by changing the strength of the primary colors:

For example:
All the combinations are possible. For example: increase the red and reduce the green at the same time.
The results depend on the initial strength of every primary color components of the source image.

Remark : For all correction setting, the button allows to reset the zone to zero.
