    Well had a great shoot last week.. I hired a lighting guy to make a room in the day look like night..
    Everything looked great on the monitor until I went to post..
    Everything turned out really dark..and I remembered that camera dosnt care for the dark..
    I knew I should have shot regular and treated the shots in post..
    SO my question is if anyone has any ideas to lighten the video a bit..
    I can make out most of the shots and can see them fine, I just need to lighten them up just a bit..
    Any ideas, filters, or tricks you might know would be greatly appreciated, cause I dont want to shoot it again..
    thanks

    Start with the 3-way color corrector, if you haven’t already. It’s a basic standard in FCP and it works pretty well as a starting point. You should be able to pull a little light out of the shot, provided it’s not so dark that ther’s no information to pull out. Good luck.
