Tonal adjustments for video on iPadOS

“

- [Instructor] Here we are on the iPad. I mean, iPad OS on the iPad mini 5, actually. So, not even the most powerful iPad, but certainly runs iPad OS well. And we're in Photos and I've opened up a video. It's the same video from our library that we're looking at before. It had to download. It was up in the Cloud. So it downloaded onto the iPad and I just want to show you how it can do adjustments in this particular movie. So, I'm going to go over to the left side of the interface and tap on adjustments, which is the second icon down there on the left side, and you will see that we have all of the adjustments available to us that we have for Still Photos, which is pretty cool. I'ma go ahead and tap on the auto adjustment right there. And one of the things about auto is that it tweaks a couple of different things depending on how the software reads the image. So it did a pretty nice job actually, as a good start. Now, we can adjust the intensity of auto by just moving that slider up and down. And we're going to take it to summer just like that. And then I'm going to continue to do a little bit more adjusting. I want to come down to color down here because I shot this in the shade and I feel like it's just a little cool. So, I'm going to tap on warmth right here. Let's just warm it up just a little bit. Just give it a little bit more warmth. There we go. So that looks nicer already. Now that I have the color a little bit more the way that I want, I'm looking at it and the highlights feel a bit intense. So, let's go back to highlights and this is why editing goes. You fix one thing and then something else goes, whoa, that could use a little bit of work, right? So here we are at highlights. So let's play with those highlights a bit. Let's bring them down. Now keep in mind, we're working on the entire video clip here, all right. Not just this frame, not a still photo, but we're editing for the entire video clip itself. Okay, that's pretty nice. Now, wouldn't it be nice to be able to add a vignette? She's basically working in the middle of the frame here. So let's come down here. Here's vignette right there. Let's see what we can do. We'll add just a little bit of vignette there. Just kind of darken the edges a bit and draw our eye to the center. I think we're looking pretty excellent. Now I know if I tap on this, I can see the before and then it comes back to the after. You don't have to tap again. It'll do it automatically. So, here's the before and here's the after. And for the moment, I'm going to click done. It's going to save the video. And once the video is saved then it will be propagated back up into the Cloud where it's available on my Mac and my iPhone. So, we're done editing for the moment. So let's just go ahead and play it so you can see how the adjustments were applied to all the frames, not just the one we're working on. Isn't that beautiful? And isn't that incredible how all we have to do is just work on one frame? Now, if you have changes throughout the clip, right? Changes in tone or changes in color, then if you want to do your editing, I would try to find a frame to edit that is in the middle, right? The sort of in the middle of what is happening over the entire clip because you're not going to be able to go through and work frame by frame. Again, we're in Photos now and not a video editing app. But the fact that we can do all of this work in Photos on an iPad and adjust color, adjust tone, bring down those highlights, I think it's pretty incredible. So this will be available on the Mac now as well as my iPhone. We did all the work in Photos for iPad OS. I'm going to go ahead and pause it right there.
