[♪[ [What's New in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4]
Hi and Welcome.
My name is Julieanne Kost and we're going to take the next few
minutes to look at all of the new features when we're working
with video in Lightroom 4.
The first thing that we'll notice in the "Library" module is if I have
a video clip, and I move my cursor on top of the thumbnail, we can
actually scrub through that clip.
The other thing that you'll notice is in the lower left-hand corner--
we can see the duration.
In order to watch the video inside of Lightroom, we can either
double-click or tap the "E" key to go to "loop view."
Here, we can click on the "play" button in order to play the video,
or we can use the space bar.
We can also use the space bar to stop, and then the space bar to start again.
Let's go ahead and click this "gear" icon.
That's going to enable us to see where we are in time.
This is our "current time indicator."
We can use that to scrub through the thumbnail previews.
Let's go back to the beginning, because obviously--at the beginning of
this video--the camera is really, really shaky.
I don't want the video to start until about here.
This would be my new endpoint that I want to set, and I can do that
in one of two ways.
I can either click here on the "grabber handle" of the shade and bring it across
to the right, or I can just use "shift I" in order to set my endpoint.
I'll tap the space bar key again to play the video.
As soon as I've reached the point that I want the video to end,
I can tap the space bar again, then use the keyboard shortcut, "shift O,"
in order to set the outpoint, or I can drag from the right-hand side
to my current time indicator.
I have now trimmed this clip.
If we go back in time to the beginning and tap the space bar,
it will just play between the new endpoint and the outpoint of the clip.
At this point, if this is all that I wanted to do, I would be ready
to export this video.
We'll talk about exporting in a minute.
For now, let's go back to the "grid view" by tapping the "G" key.
This next video--as you can see--has two horses running in the beginning,
and then there's a gray horse that joins them.
If we look at just the poster frame here--the "thumbnail" icon--I'm
always going to see those two brown-red horses.
That might not be the frame that I want to see, because it
might not visually cue me into the important area of this clip.
Let's double-click on it to go back to loop view, and let's scrub through
until we actually see that gray horse.
In order to remind myself that this gray horse is in this video clip,
I can use the icon right here to set my new poster frame.
Now, when I tap the "G" key and we go back to the grid view,
I have a visual reminder of the important part of that clip.
Let's talk about the changes that we can make to video.
You'll notice on the right-hand side under "quick develop" that there's a
variety of different options, such as "changing temperature" and
"tint;" "tone control," such as "exposure" and "contrast,"
"whites" and "blacks," and "vibrants."
If I want to make really bold, rough changes, I can do so by simply clicking
any of these options.
If I wanted to "increase exposure"--for example--or "increase contrast,"
all I need to do is click on those icons.
Of course, just like working with still images, when you're working
with video, all of these changes are completely nondestructive.
If I decide at any point that I want to remove them, I can simply click the
"reset all" button, and it will reset it.
If I want to go in one direction that I am not sure of,
what I can always do is create a virtual copy of my video clip.
The keyboard shortcut for that is "command apostrophe."
A virtual copy means that there's still only one video clip on disk--taking
up however many megabytes.
I've just told Lightroom to create another thumbnail and process
that thumbnail differently.
I'm not wasting any space by making virtual copies, and it gives me
the creative freedom to go in multiple directions at once.
Up at the top of quick develop, you can see that I have access
to all of my presets.
Let's go ahead and add something like a "direct positive."
When I add a preset, Lightroom is going to warn me that not
everything that's available in the develop module can be applied
to video.
It actually gives me a list of all the things that can be applied.
If you don't want to see this again, just click "don't show again"--
but I'll click "okay"--and we can see that we've got a little more
saturated and a little more "contrasty" video clip here.
If I don't like that and I want to change it, we can just quickly go and
apply something else--maybe this "yesteryear.''
Again, it tells me what's going to be applied, then click "okay."
That's great for applying presets, as well as applying this limited number
of changes to the image, but I want to actually take advantage of things
like the "tone curve" and "split toning."
However, if I tap the "D" key to go to the develop module, it tells
me that video is not supported, but we can work around that.
Let's go back to the grid view.
In this case, I'm going to move to another image because all the video
of the horses was photographed in the same location, but the color
balance of these two down here don't match the color balance above.
That's what I would like to fix.
I'm going to view these in loop view by tapping the "E" key.
We can go ahead and just move forward a little bit
until we see those horses.
I'm going to use the same icon that I used to set the poster frame
This time--instead of a poster frame--I'm actually going to
capture a frame.
In this case, I'm capturing a frame--which is a JPEG file--
at the same resolution as the original in order to take that into
the develop module to make additional changes to it.
Don't forget--I'm making those changes so that I can apply them
to the video, but you don't have to, right?
At this point, if I was shooting video and there's a still image in there
that I love, I can simply capture that frame within Lightroom,
process it, and then output it--whether I'm going to share it on the Web
or I'm going to print it in a book.
At this point, let's go ahead and go back to grid view.
I just want to show you that here's my movie file, and then
here is my still JPEG.
Let's move to the develop module.
I''ll tap the "D" key in order to do that,
and we're going to make some changes.
I am going to make my film strip a little bit larger here just so that
I can see the changes that I'm making to my active image--
the still JPEG--to see how it looks next to these first two video clips.
It looks to me like I need to add a little increase in temperature
to get that a bit warmer.
I probably want to decrease my exposure a little bit--
perhaps adding a little bit of contrast.
My goal here is to make this still image match these other two video clips;
because at this point, I've made the changes to my still image.
I'm going to hold down the "command" key--or the "control" key on
Windows--and I''m going to select those two video clips.
I'm going to click the "synch" button.
What's really nice is when you're synchronizing settings between
a still frame and video, Lightroom is showing you those adjustments
that can be made to video, and it's graying out the ones that
cannot be applied.
Let's go ahead and click on "synchronize."
Now the changes that I've made to the still image will be applied
to these additional video images.
There's other ways that we could "copy" and "paste" those settings.
I could use the keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste or--right
here--I could use copy and paste, but that doesn't show me
the limitations.
It will just pretend like it's going to copy and paste everything.
We now know with video that not everything in the
develop module can actually be applied.
One more important point is if you do make changes to your still image--
and you think you're going to want to save those changes to apply
them next week or next month to a different set of videos--
you could always save a preset.
This way, you could save all those settings and easily apply them later on.
Let's go back to the grid view for a moment.
I just want to show you there's two different ways now that
we can export these files.
The easiest way--obviously--would be to select the video that
you like, and then choose to "export" it.
We can see here in the video setting area that you can now include
your video files on export.
You can see that we're exporting them to the "H 264," but you can also
export to "DPX" or to the original.
If you do select the original, we will apply the settings that you've
changed in Lightroom, but it will be the original source size with the
same resolution, as well as the same frame rate.
When you choose the "H 264," we can change the quality
from "max" down to "high," "medium," or "low."
When you select the different options, it gives you this nice, little hint as
to when you might want to use those.
For example, if I was going to a tablet, I might want to choose "medium" for
my quality.
If I wanted to go to a mobile device, then I might want to choose "low."
You can see the "source" and the "target" here is the size
that it's going to export.
Just like when you export your still images, you can choose to add
these as a preset; if you have certain sizes that you
export regularly, set this up once and then add that as a preset.
The other way that you can export your videos directly to Facebook or Flickr
would be to use the "publish services."
All you need to do is click on Facebook or Flickr and
set up all of your export options--the same export options that we just
went through--and then choose to export there.
There are more services online, so if you just click this button it
will actually take you to look through different plug-ins from
different manufacturers.
You're not just limited to Flickr or Facebook.
Here is one last note.
The aspect ratio for video capture is usually different than still capture.
If you had a bunch of still images and you wanted to crop them
to the same size as your video, we select just a still image here, then
we come over to either quick develop or the develop module.
You'll notice for the "crop ratios" here that we now have some
standard "aspect ratios," so you can match your still images
to the aspect ratios of your videos.
There you have it--all of the new features for video in Lightroom 4.
My name is Julieanne Kost.
Thanks for watching. [♪}
