NewBlue Video Essentials IV Description

Video editing professionals often integrated plug-ins into the software suites they work with in order to complete their work faster and investing less effort at the same time. Operations like giving the video a natural look can take a lot of time but with the help of these little components sometimes just a few adjustments need to be made to finish the project.Quick, simple install routineVideo Essentials IV from NewBlue is a package of ten such components that can enhance the video. It is compatible with plenty of video editing suites but for our testing purposes we selected Sony Vegas Pro. Installation is simple and it allows choosing only some of the plug-ins or all of them. Effects and improvementsThe collection features a diverse range of modules that can enhance the look of the video or apply effects to give a more artistic or professional look. Filtering the colors with Bleach Bypass results in a video with lower saturation and increased graininess and contrast. Another effect allows the user to change the color levels so that an image shot in the daytime looks as if it was recorded at night time. Skin Touch Up processing can be used to improve the looks of the skin by softening certain parts, like wrinkles and diminishing the appearance of blemishes. The result is a younger, less flawed look of the characters in the video. Directing the viewers’ focus to a certain element in the clip can be achieved by using the Magnifying Glass module, which increases the size of a particular area just like a lens would. ConclusionVideo Essentials IV makes available a nifty set of plug-ins whose adjustments can be customized; a huge list of presets is also present for each component and the user can create their own and save them for later use.
