  • ND Correction on clips shot on an HVX200

    We did an ENG shoot today, and my shooter forgot to add the 1/8 ND filter setting to a few interviews and they are blown out. A few look savable. I not the best a color correction and luma correction, but can anyone give an idea of what I could have to do via a filter to get the 1/8 ND filter that the HVX200 provides?

    I am ingesting the P2 cards. If you need screen shot to give you a baseline here you go. I hope this is salvageable in FCP 3.

    The picture on top is not too bad.
    You won’t be able to recover any detail on the whites (T-shirt and beard of the guy at the right), because once the picture is clipped its only remains white.
    But the faces of both guys are OK.
    Use the 3W-Color Correction filter and low the “Middles” slider.
    If you have Colorista, use the “Exposure” slider.
