Video timeline: loading keyfram list from an external file or array

Hi,

I am working with small video when I need to transfrom at and adjust the brightness continously as the exposure was changing. I am doing it by adding a brighness layer with high brightness value and changing the opacity of that layer as needed (see the picture attached). I added about 30 keyframes with different brightness values. It looks much better but I still see a flikker.

I want to read the video using some other coding language and find out the exact values of adjustment I need to do. For that I have to add many more keyframes which I cannot add manually.

So, I was wondering if there is a way to store the require keyframe positions and opacity values and upload them in to the time line.

 

Please let me know

Best

Sankar

Hi @sirsankar ,

You may want to consider an adjustment layer which will give you greater control.

You can copy the keyframes. Here's how: https://industrydev.com/copying-animation-keyframes-between-video-layers-in-adobe-photoshop/

 

Option two:

Export the timeline as an image sequence and reimport, then, run an action on all frames using the color coreection setting you want, then reaasemble onto the timeline. https://ihatetomatoes.net/convert-video-image-sequence/

 

Option three:

If you have After Effects, here's something that will save you a lot of time.

Option four:

If you have Premiere Pro, Bring your exported image sequence into Premier Pro. Then use the Shot Match feature. https://larryjordan.com/articles/abobe-premiere-pro-cc-automatically-color-match-shots/ Use the Copy and Paste Atttributes feature across the remaining frames.

 

Good luck

If I can understand you question then the answer is No, you can not export keyframes separately. Photoshop has basic video editing features.
