    -Hey, so we’ve got Avid Xpress Pro and were wondering with an overly lit scene would it be possible to use the color correction to give the scene more of a moonlit look or is there some other Avid function we should use?

    -And also, even though others have asked, is there a better way for us to use Avid to convert our 4:3 footage into 16:9, other than just letterbox shoving two black bars on the image? Since, as of now, it just appears stretched with those when we view it on any widescreen television.

    As far as I know, there is nothing within Avid to reformat 4:3 to 16:9. You’ll have to venture to some other software to accomplish this. As for the overexposed video, if it’s not too overexposed to the point where it’s just blown out completely and unuseable, you should be able to create a moonlit look with color correction and possible color effect as well. You could also create a color in title tool and super it over the video to add additional color.
