DoesItReallyMatter: /* Command-line */ New section "Permanent changes"

Command-line: New section "Permanent changes"

	vlc --brightness 1.1 <file>		vlc --brightness 1.1 <file>
	vlc --saturation 0 <file>		vlc --saturation 0 <file>

			=== Permanent changes ===
			You cannot save your preference for adjusted image settings with VLC (VLC doesn't seem to have any field that "remembers" your preferences).

			You can, potentially, stream the video through a filter using the above method to an output file, and overwrite the original.

			In other words, to make foo.ogv 10% brighter you adjust foo.ogv:
			vlc --video-filter adjust --brightness 1.1 foo.ogv
			And then save the result into foo.ogv.tmp (sorry, I don't have a command line for this), saving over foo.ogv.

			Now when you play foo.ogv the video will be brighter.

-Graphical approaches are the easiest but also the most variable because you have to look in different places depending on your [[interface]]. What this approach will do is globally change the hue, brightness, contrast, saturation or gamma for ''every'' video you play in VLC, perhaps for color-correction purposes. If you want to play a single video with different image settings, you should look at the [[command line]] approach.

New page

{{howto|adjust image settings including brightness and contrast|nosort=yes}}

How to adjust image settings will depend on your [[interface]]. Older versions of VLC required different steps (VLC versions <= 0.9.0 used [[wxWidgets Interface]]).
