LEAD Video Auto Level Filter Auto Level Video Effect User Interface

Show in webframe

The Auto Level Video filtereffect performs color leveling on the individual R, G and B channels, treating each of the R, G and B channels as a separate entity, without changing colors. It makes the dark values darker and the light values lighter, which automatically enhances shadows and brightens the video stream . It also maximizes the tonal range of the image and enhances the contrast and intensity using the image's histogram and a color distribution-based algorithm. The property page is shown in the figure below:
