How to Easily Edit Your Videos at Home

Step 4: Fine tune
If you are not satisfied with the preset values, you can make fine adjustments to these enhancement options using the ‘Fine Tune’ mode. In this mode you can manually adjust each parameter using sliders in the respective section. In the ‘Fine Tune’ mode, you can get additional options such as ‘Focus’, ‘Color saturation’ and ‘Glow’.

Step 5: Adding effects
Once you have finished enhancing the video quality, you can add effects or simply finalize your videos and save it. To add effects, move over to the ‘Add Effects’ tab and you shall find six options for adding different effects to the video. These effects are ‘Black and White’, ‘Sepia’, Vivid Colors’, ‘Glow’, ‘Grain’, and ‘Vintage’.  These effects can also be fine-tuned in the ‘Fine Tune’ section.

Step 6: Finalizing
Now that your video looks good, playback the video to ensure the quality and effects are to your liking. If you find anything amiss, go back and redo the necessary steps. Once done, your video is ready to be finalized. You can either save the video on your system which can be later burned to a video disc or transcoded for your multimedia phone / portable media player or simply uploaded to your Facebook account or shared on YouTube—the software automatically sets the encoding parameters. To save it to your PC, click the ‘Computer’ icon and select the resolution and format of the output video file.

The ‘Advanced’ option allows you to choose the destination and quality of the video file. You can save it in the original resolution or upscale the resolution to 720p or 1080p and also set the video format (WMV or DivX). Once done, hit the ‘Save’ button and your video will be ready at the specifi ed destination in sometime. vReveal is a free utility designed for amateur videographers and is developed by ‘MotionDSP’.
