======================================
This step may require additional filters for VirtualDub. See the previous section for filters available for VirtualDub.
White Balance Filter - Jim Leonard
- to correct for white balance problems.
- Example: when the video in general looks orange, blue or too dark.
- may occur when white balance is on automatic mode, so different types of light having different temperatures causes this problem
- this filter can also be used to adjust Hue, Saturation, Intensity, Brightness, Contrast
Deinterlacing filter
- used to remove the effect of interlacing, ie. when not all frames are processed.
- fast motion causes edges of objects to look jagged.
- the filter will also make the video look far sharper
Sharpening Filter
- used when video seem to have soft edges or lack detail.
Dynamic Noise Reduction
- used when video is grainy
Chroma Noise Reduction Filter
- used when there is chroma noise; ie where rainbow effects shimmer across the screen.
VHS filter - flaXen
- used when video has timing issues and skips a bit
- try using the Stabilize section of this filter only
