Specifies a starting point for randomizing the lightning effects you have specified. Because random movement of the lightning may
interfere with another clip or layer, typing another value for the Random Seed starts the randomizing at a different point, changing the movement
of the lightning bolt.
Specifies how the lightning is added to the layer. Adobe Premiere Elements support layer blend modes that change the way
layers react with each other. You often use some of the common modes in every day work. For example, if your image is too dark, you can quickly
make it brighter by duplicating the photo layer in the layers palette. Later, you change the duplicate layer mode to Screen. To learn more about
blending modes, see
explanation of blend modes . Use the Opacity filter to select blending modes for various layers of your video. Premiere
Elements 11 supports 27 blending modes. Select a blending mode from the list and apply it to your image. Use the sliders to increase or decrease
its effect.
Controls the frame-by-frame generation of the lightning. Selecting the Rerun At Each Frame option regenerates the lightning at each
frame. To make the lightning behave the same way at the same frame every time you run it, do not select this control. Selecting this control may
increase rendering time.
Ramp
The Ramp effect creates a color gradient, blending it with the original clip contents. Create linear or radial ramps and vary the position and colors
of the ramp over time. Use the Start and End Of Ramp properties to specify the start and end positions. Use the Ramp Scatter control to disperse
the ramp colors and eliminate banding.
Traditionally, ramps do not broadcast well. Serious banding occurs because the broadcast chrominance signal does not contain sufficient
resolution to reproduce the ramp smoothly. The Ramp Scatter control disperses the ramp colors, eliminating the banding apparent to the human
eye.
Video Stabilizer
Stabilizer
The Stabilizer effect removes unwanted camera shaking by analyzing the video image and tracking objects in the picture. If the entire picture
moves suddenly, the effect compensates for the move by shifting the image in the opposite direction, thus smoothing out the camera jitter. You
can specify the amount of smoothing. When the effect moves the image, it leaves empty video on one side. Use Background-Use Original, Zoom,
or both to specify how the space is filled.
Specifies the degree of stabilization. When turned all the way down, the effect removes only the smallest jitter and vibration. When
turned all the way up, it keeps the camera movement stable over a long period of time. If there is intention camera movement (for example,
panning across a scene), setting a high value for smoothing can cause the effect to remove that movement. Consequently, it is important to set
Smoothing appropriately for each scene.
Fills in the blank edges with the original video image. This option works well for small movements.
Enlarges the picture to fill in the blank edges. The more stabilization that is required (the more shaky the original image is), the more you
will want to zoom in to compensate.
Forces the stabilization to stray no further than the edges of the enlarged (zoomed) image. This option disables the
stabilization when it hits the edge because it doesn’t allow for the full motion compensation. Use this option if you want to ensure that the edges
never appear.
