  bald spot reflection

  Posted by Frank Batista on January 2, 2012 at 8:32 pm

  I just completed a sit down interview with a very important person. After viewing the finished raw video I noticed that there is a bit of light reflection off of his bald head. It’s a bit more distracting than would be acceptable when it goes to broadcast. The light levels of everything else is perfect so I don’t want to change that but I was wondering, Is there a plugin or preinstalled option in sony vegas stock 9.0c which has something to reduce this type of glare? I would have guessed that there was something for highlight reduction but I do not see one. Please help, I am pressed for time and I am a bit new to vegas. I haven’t used it much in all the time that I’ve had it.

  Option 1- copy the track, mask the blown area frame by frame and then recolor it to match the skin.

  Option 2- copy the track, mask the blown area and then feather the layer with the mask and drop the opacity.

  Option 3- crop it and zoom in on the eyes.
