ENHANCING YOUR VIDEO
This version of EZ Video Converter allows you to adjust some advanced settings to ensure the best
possible video capture. To access these settings, click Convert on the home screen, then click Advanced
Settings.
VIDEO SETTINGS:
•
Deinterlace: If you are seeing small
horizontal lines in your video, turn
Deinterlacing "On" to improve the
smoothness of the image.
Occasionally, this may actually
decrease the quality of your video, in
which case, set it to "Off."
•
Cropping: If you want to crop out the
edges of your video and zoom in on
the center, select the amount of
cropping here. This is a useful tool
when capturing older videos, such
as camcorder videos with the date,
timestamp, etc. on the edges.
•
Noise Reduction: If you are seeing
"noise" in your video – if the image
looks grainy or speckled – increase
the amount of noise reduction here.
•
Brightness Correction: Adjust the brightness of your video with this setting.
•
Color Correction: Adjust the color saturation of your video with this slider. For less color, slide it to
the left. For more vivid color, slide it to the right.
AUDIO SETTINGS:
•
Noise Reduction: If you are hearing "noise" in your audio – hissing, humming, static – increase the
amount of noise reduction here.
•
Auto Gain: Turn on Auto Gain to boost the volume of your video capture to optimal levels
automatically. (The loudest part of your video capture will be set at the highest possible volume
without distorting. The volume of the rest of the capture will increase proportionally.)
•
Equalizer: Set the Equalizer for the format of video you are capturing (e.g., a music performance will
need to be equalized differently from a news program or a program with both music and talking).
TAPE SPEED:
If you are capturing video from a tape, set the Tape Speed to match the speed of your tape – SP, LP, or
EP.
