Please tell us, step by step, exactly what you are doing to optimize brightness and colour and we may well be able to help you to achieve what you want to do.

Is this problem related to your original question about a codec or is that issue now resolved?

Hi Knud

. . . . I mean, I have not a preview window. . . .

Are you still using Photostory 2022 or have you updated to the 2024 version?

Do you mean the preview window is missing or when you click on an image or video clip in the media pane they do not appear in the Preview monitor?

A screenshot of the full program screen may help.

Jeg har intet manitorpreviewbillede ? Hvordan får jeg det frem ? Min. optimering af billeder virker ikke i auto og ikke i manuel ??

Added from PM:

Jeg har et Photostory EASY program. Jeg får ikke monitorpreviewbilledet frem, når jeg vil lave et show? Hvordan henter jeg det ? Der sker intet, når jeg vil optimere et billede (brightnes - contrast). Hvorfor ?

Hi/Hej Knud

Try changing the Program settings, Playback option to Compatibility mode (VideoForWindows).

If this does not work, start a new project and add one jpg image - do you see the preview of the image?

If so then we need more information about the video format, codec and resolution are you using - to help with this download and install MediaInfo and analyse one of the videos you are using and post the results, see this tutorial on how to set up MediaInfo and analyse a video clip for all the data required.     

Google translate:

Prøv at ændre programindstillingerne, afspilningsindstillingen til kompatibilitetstilstand (VideoForWindows).

Hvis dette ikke virker, så start et nyt projekt og tilføj ét jpg-billede - kan du se forhåndsvisningen af billedet?

Hvis det er tilfældet, har vi brug for mere information om videoformatet, codec og opløsning, du bruger - for at hjælpe med denne download og installation af MediaInfo og analysere en af de videoer, du bruger og post resultaterne, se denne vejledning om, hvordan du opsætter MediaInfo og analyser et videoklip for alle de nødvendige data.
