Any video editors in here know how to...

...add light to a video post production.

For ex. I have some video that was shot using IR light. It is too dark for use. I would like to lighten it consistently thorough the whole video.

What do I need... Premiere? Pinnacle? One of those and a plug-in?

Thanks,
Bill

in premeire 6, ... hold on lemme open it.

window -> show transitions (normally open anyways) ... click video tab ... under "adjust" you have "brightness and contrast" ... drag that directly onto the clip in the timeline, then tweak it using the effect controls window ...

might need to test render a few 30 sec segments to get it right, depending on length of footage .. might save you time of rerendering a long clip.

hope this helps,
Mikey

That did it, thanks man. I knew there was a contrast control in there somewhere, just couldn't find it.

Thanks again!

Vegas Video (Or just "Vegas" now that Sony has bought it) does this like a champ. I always use the Video FX to darken/brighten adjust color balance, etc.

If you do any large amount of video editing..*THIS* is a must have piece of software!
