How to adjust color on Video Star without Custom Coloring
Re-Effect filter
If you're looking for a quick and easy way to add color or if you're new to video editing, the Re-Effect filter is a great choice for you. Some of them are free, some prompt you to buy a specific package before you can use them. The Pro Subscription plan gives you access to all Video Star features.
From the main playback window, tap New and select Re-Effect . Click the + icon right below and make sure you have selected the brush icon below. You can now scroll through all the filters. Each filter has a density bar right below the clip.
The Magic filter is the perfect suggestion, providing you with a series of other color change suggestions.
When you've selected a filter, tap the down arrow to return to the Re-Effects window. See the results across the entire clip by dragging the playback slider at the bottom, and pressing the red Re-Effect button.
Blend colors using Monochrome
This trick is simple and gives great results. Before continuing, you will need to purchase a Multi-Layer plan or a Pro Subscription. You can buy it from the home screen by tapping the lightning icon.
Open the clip in Re-Effect and find the Tron effect via the magnifying glass icon. Apply it to your clip. At first glance, it seems a bit silly but the result will be very interesting.
You'll then open the newly created clip in Re-Effect again. Now look for Monochrome . Choose a color by dragging the slider and apply it to the clip.
The second step is optional and you need to purchase the Cinema Pro package if you want a better end result. Open the clip you just created in Re-Effect again, find Pro Blur , reduce the intensity a bit, and then apply it.
Now we'll use the final result as a filter by blending it with the original clip. From the main window, tap New , then select Multi-Layer . Tap the first box on the left labeled 1 and select the original clip. Then tap 2 and tap the last clip you created.
Make sure you have the second layer selected (box 2 ), tap Color below and find Blend BG . The arrow points up to the left, giving you some blending options. In this example, the first option on the left works best.
If the color is too dark, you can reduce the opacity. Touch box 2 and select Edit Keyframes . To see what the first clip looks like after blending, tap Options in the upper right, select Show Other Layers , and select the first layer ( 1 ).
Now reduce the Opacity in the bottom left and press Back when you're satisfied with the result. Make sure the playback cursor is dragged all the way to the left. Meanwhile, Opacity will create an additional keyframe and change as it plays.
Open the clip in the Multi-Layer window and press Create on the top right. The final result will be as shown above.
Use Masks
This method is a bit more complicated but worth a try because it allows you to create many unique works. You will need to purchase a Multi-Layer package or sign up for a Pro Subscription to use this feature.
Tap New > Multi-Layer and select the unedited clip for layer 1. You can add a filter if you want. This example selects Vibrance and reduces its intensity.
On layer 2, you will select Color and choose a color from the color palette. You can add as many layers of color as you want.
Tap on the numbered block of the first color and choose Add Mask . Make sure you have Shape selected at the top, tap the 3 stripes icon on the top right and choose a mask with blurred edges. Stars are always a good choice.
First, tap the 3-strip icon on the top left, select Show Other Layers and select layer 1. This will help you know where to place the overlay better. Now, use two fingers to “zoom in” the star mask to expand it and move it to an area of the frame. Click Done when satisfied.
Repeat this step with all colored layers. Remember to show other layers when adding a new mask. This way, you will avoid overlapping the layers too much.
Now from the main Multi-Layer window , add Blend BG via the Color icon to each colored layer and select the blend type. You can also edit the opacity in the keyframe editor.
Click Create on the top right when you are satisfied with the result.
Above is how to adjust colors on Video Star without using the Custom Coloring tool . Hope the article is useful to you.
