Look for 'Play and stop' and select the checkbox, then click on 'Save' at the bottom right to keep the changes. In the left column, scroll down to 'Playlist' in the left column and click it. Now when you play foo.ogv the video will be brighter. Look for 'Show settings' in the very bottom left of the preferences screen and change it to 'All'. Vlc -video-filter adjust -brightness 1.1 foo.ogvĪnd then save the result into (sorry, I don't have a command line for this), saving over foo.ogv. In other words, to make foo.ogv 10% brighter you adjust foo.ogv: You can, potentially, stream the video through a filter using the above method to an output file, and overwrite the original. You cannot save your preference for adjusted image settings with VLC (VLC doesn't seem to have any field that "remembers" your preferences). Vlc -video-filter adjust -brightness 1.1 Īnd make a video (or still image) black-and-white with:

You can make a video (or still image) 10% brighter with: The defaults are 1.0 for contrast and brightness, 0 for hue, 1.5 for saturation, 1 for gamma. brightness-threshold, -no-brightness-threshold Older versions of VLC required different steps (VLC versions The shortest one is 2:02 and it never took any time to buffer, yet alone infinitely long like it seems to now. If you want to play a single video with different image settings, you should look at the command-line approach. Im having the same issue with mp3 files that worked perfectly fine before the update. 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. Graphical approaches are the easiest but also the most variable because you have to look in different places depending on your interface.
