Controling The Opacity Of adjustment Layers

[animationlife]

Hello Everyone.

I have applied many adjustment Layers into my Video Clip. For Example: I added a Lumetri Color, But I only want 25%, and I applied Curves into the other Adjustment Layer, But I only want 50%.. In other words just like Photoshop Opacity Layer, I want to do the same thing with my Adjustment Layers. How can I change the Opacity of each Effect that I have added Into my Adjustment layers.

Thanks.

Try adding your FX to a  Transparent Video Layers and using the Fixed Opacity Effect Control.

Or create a mask for each effect and adjust the opacity of the mask

I would think you'd just change the settings in the effect itself, no need to adjust opacity to regulate the level of effect.

Sometimes that option isn't present in some plugins. Otherwise I agree with

you

Dear Spnsir.

I was not using any plugins. I was using the Curves, Levels,  Luma Color in Effects. I did try the mask and it also works.

Thank you very much,

Yes, I used the words plugin and effect interchangeably in this post

[animationlife]

no problem, Thank for reminding me the Mask. I used Mask, in After Effects, haven't used it in PP yet.

You shouldn't.  They're two different things.

In this case, your argument from post 4 doesn't apply, so my suggestion from post 3 would.

I agree I shouldn't interchange the two, it was not intentional, just a mistake on my behalf. But for both effects and plugins, they don't all have "blend with original" settings, so that's where my suggestions will help (if adjusting the opacity of an adjustment layer doesn't work, which it occasionally and with certain plugins/effects doesn't).

Not the same thing Jim.  There is no Opacity or Blend with Original controls in Lumetri .

Opacity (Fixed Effect) on an Adjustment Layer is a very cool way of achieving a great look on the Color FX. 

Basically it is 'Blend with Original'.

FWIW I have just used it on 25 music performance videos to achieve a subtlety I wanted.

or just use the ...Fixed Opacity Effect Control on the  Adjustment Layer

^ In my experience with some plugins that doesn't have an effect, which is

why I recommend using a mask for the plugin itself on any layer and playing

with the mask opacity

[shooternz]

Fair enough comment.

I dont think the O.P was using 3rd party FX though.  Only Lumetri and Curves.

Dear Shooternz.

Thank you very much. Now it is working. I can also animate the opacity if I want to. one question please: Dose Transparent Video it dose the same work as an adjustment layer ?

Thanks.

Dose Transparent Video it dose the same work as an adjustment layer ?

I would guess so but in fact...I have never been sure of the reason/function of Transparent Video.. and have never found a use for them.  PPRO had TV layers before it had ADJ layers if that means anything.

Go with what ever works.
