fxguide is reporting on the release of Adobe Lightroom 4 Beta. And reporting that some settings can be applied to video!
Video Support
Lightroom 3 added the ability to import, manage and tag video files but as the popularity of video capture increases it’s important to provide a single, robust workflow solution that can support all of your imaging needs regardless if they’re still images or video captures. Lightroom 4 adds native playback for a wide variety of formats from mobile phones to high end DSLRs. Photographers can also apply common image adjustments to their video clips in real time. Additional video details:
- Video playback directly within Lightroom
- Video trimming (In and Out points)
- Set Video poster frame. (This is the thumbnail that appears in the grid view)
- Extract a single frame from a video as a JPEG file
- Most popular DSLR, compact camera and smart phone video formats supported including AVCHD (AVCHD is the native format for Sony DSLRs and many new Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens, MIL, cameras)
- Videos can be adjusted with a subset of the same controls we use for images.
