Via plugin. This is what i use to achieve the same thing in Vegas.
It is FBmn Software’s Exposure:

I had the same question. I’m going to try out the plug-in and give my thoughts. Any other suggestions?

[Kirk Lauterbach]

I can’t figure out how to use the free trial. Any help?

I downloaded it but can’t find it in my FX third party folder.

Steve,

Thanks so much! It worked great! Recently you mentioned I should try the Neat Video plug in and that worked great too…both of your suggestions have made my work a lot easier (and better)!

You are welcome Brian, that’s what i am here for.

Hi,

thanks for mentioning the plugin Steve!

Kirk, I am the author of the plugin and will be pleased to help if you have any trouble for installation – just let me know at contact@fbmn-software.com.

It looks strange that it does not appear in your Third party Video FX folder.

Is your Vegas version compatible with OFX? (VP10, VP11, VP12, Studio Platinum 11 or 12)

Best regards,
Frédéric

I have VP 12. I am not sure what OFX compatible means.

Can you explain what that means?

I will try and download it again. The tests I saw on youtube looked like the kind of exposure adjustment that I needed.

[Frederic Baumann]

Hi again,

OFX is a standard for video effects (https://openfx.sourceforge.net/)

Vegas supports it as of VP10 and Movie Studio Platinum HD 11. Compared to the other FX supported by Vegas, this standard brings a unified user interface through a standard set of graphicals controls (sliders, text fields and so on), and additional capabilities that make them more powerful.

I was asking because FBmn Software plugins are all OFXs, meaning that they don’t show up on non-OFX Vegas. But in your case, as you have VP12, this is not an issue.

Please contact me on contact@fbmn-software.com if you still have issues, and if you want me to help. We will review together a few points to identify where the problem is coming from (by the way you should restart Vegas after installing the plug-in, so that it gets loaded by Vegas).

Best regards,
Frédéric

Restart.

That is something I haven’t done.
Thank you!
