    Hi everybody 🙂

    I’m looking for a way to have a regular luminosity : I found on the web a short film (5sec) of an old TV screen. I integrated it in my current project, but its luminosity is really too unregular : there can be huge differences from one frame to another.

    I’d like to avoid having to put keyframes all the film long. I tried changing the exposition, the levels, but of course, without any keyframe it has an impact on the whole film, and for my current project the problem is the huge luminosity variations from one frame to another.

    So, do you have an idea ? Would there be a way to regulate the luminosity without puting a keyframe at almost each frame ???

    Thanks for your help !

    If you can see something that should be black, and something that should be white, through the entire clip, you can use the Color Stabilizer effect.

    Thanks for your answer, Steve… but it didn’t work.

    There is little to do in this effect, so I can’t say it doesn’t work because I don’t know how to use it. I changed all that I could, I defined the 3 points (black, center, white) easily, since it’s a black and white video… Stabilizing the curves, it’s worse, and stabilizing the luminosity or the levels, I can’t see any difference.

    Maybe it’s because the variations of luminosity are too high.

    Or maybe there is another solution ? 🙂

    Thanks for your ideas.
