Hi I need a bit of rendering assistance for a low lighting video
Hi I am sort of new to vegas and learning a bit day by day. I’m working on a mobile phone review and I recorded some videos in not too adequate lighting. This is the raw of the video [its only like 30 seconds]

after applying vegas color saturation settings, the color improved, but it’s not too sharp

that is the result and these are the video fx I have used (this is in Vegas 11 pro)

As indicated from the second clip, its not very sharp nor is it professional. There’s still a bit of grain and the lighting looks artificial. Is there anything I can do to improve the quality of the video? Because I have a few shots like the raw. -

Hi,
I have made a test with FBmn Software White Balance and Exposure (grabbing a screen capture of your Youtube video… not sure about the quality), and I have got this:
I don’t know how was the original lighting and white balance, just tried to guess.

The original lighting of the video wasn’t too good. I guess I was trying to get it to appear a bit more brighter as well as sharp. It was recorded 1920×1080 by a nikon camera (but it was like a $230.00 camera)
I have since removed the video fx and I wanted to start fresh again. I know I need neatvideo because the lighting was mediocre and neat video does get rid of noise, but I will also try the settings you linked to right now

this is the new output with neatvideo and the filters you suggested. The whiting is far better but is there anything that can be done to improve the sharpness?

Hi,
Glad to read that whiteness is far better (it actually looks so on your last clip!) 🙂
I am not an expert about sharpness, but did you try the Sony tool? (in French it is called “Netteté Sony”, so I guess it should be Sony Sharpness in English).
My 2 cents,

colors are improved grain is gone but the quality is still not so good. Is it because of the camera? iS there any editing I can do to make it look richer more crisp or something
