  • How To Fix Natural Lighting, OverExposure, In Final Cut Pro? See Video Here

    Posted by Jaye James on October 16, 2010 at 7:11 am

    I shot this video in natural lighting. I overexposed the face. I’m still learning.

    Why does the color correction shift like that. Is it because it was shot in natural lighting? It’s only after exporting are the problems viewable. In Final Cut Pro the video looks great. No shifting blow outs in the face.

    I tried to use the captain blow out filter but it removes color and turns both the shirt and lips purple.

    So how can I fix this other than obviously, starting with better video in the beginning?;)

    Thanks for all comments. But keep in mind, I’m learning.

    Are you monitoring your video output on a proper broadcast monitor?

    The “Captain’s Blowout Fixer” filter takes a bit of experimentation to get good results, and you will probably need to apply it to a copy of the footage laid on a track above the original, then mask in only the parts most severely affected. Unfortunately, with most blown-out footage, there’s no easy fix.
