So now that my official preset collections have been updated for Lightroom 4, I’ve had a little more time to experiment with video and what’s possible in LR4.

I’ve also been recording a lot of footage for my new EXposed workshop series and have been utilizing the simple video tools in LR to save me time. So far I’ve been pretty happy with the results.

While we don’t have full develop module control over video, there’s a lot we can do beyond Quick Develop, if settings are placed within presets.

So with that, I’m releasing a sampler pack of presets, each of which will work on video and give a variety of simple but useful effects from quick tonal boosts to bleached color.

This is really a test pack to experiment with what’s possible. If there’s enough interest, I may release a full editing collection for video in the future. Of course these presets can also be applied to still images, but they were designed for video work.

Also note that these are preset for LR4 only as you cannot edit video in earlier versions. OK, here’s the download. If you like what you see, check out my other editing packs and workshop on the homepage. Enjoy… Gav

As promised I’m not leaving users in the dust or making you buy new presets just for LR4. I’m proud to announce that PW3.5 is here. Power Workflow 3 is our flagship product for LR. If you only buy one collection of presets ever, Power Workflow is probably the one you want. It has some of everything from batch processing, to black and white, to creative color blends and it just got better.

Fully revised, PW3 is now fully compatible with LR4. More than that, there’s been extra refinements to the collection and those apply to both the new LR4 version, as well as the LR1-3 version. Both sets are included in the download.

  • Updated for LR4.
  • Series Refinements.
  • Three New presets.

Did I mention this was free. If you own Power Workflow 3, you should already have your download. If you didn’t get it, or you have an old version of PW and need an upgrade discount, just email me, effects@seimstudios.com. Send me your purchase name or email and I’ll hook you up.

Don’t have PW3? You’re missing out. Check out the presets here. And just in case you missed it, Silver Shadows 2 black and white presets have also been updated for LR4 and the Color Fantasies update will be coming next.

I’m thankful for my customers and happy to be able to make Seim Effects even more versatile. I hope you enjoy… Gav
