improve lighting on dark footage
Hi,
Need some advice on how to improve lighting on relatively dark footage. Is there any editing feature within final cut express that I can use to improve lighting.
thank you

Mirela,
Have a look at the Color Correction filter in FCE. You may get what you need from tweaking the blacks, mids and whites sliders. Up the whites and mids to increse the overall brightness of the image and drop the blacks a little to replace some of the contrast lost from brighting the image. It’ll be trial and error to begin with, but it should help. (Usually, you should change black levels first, followed by whites and mids) I think Kenstone.net has a tutorial for CC in FCE on his website.
