Picture brighter when adding grain
Hi,
On some projects I like to add grain in finish. I use grain like Gorilla Grain and RGrain. I add it on top and chose blend mode to Overlay.
When this is done, it brightens the total picture somewhat.
Is there another way to add grain in Premiere, or should it be done in another program, like AE, or at another time in the workflow?
Kind Regards,
Johan

If you’re experience added brightness with overlay mode then the grey base of your grain files are not truly 50% gray (#808080). Overlay isn’t a proprietary blending mode, and should work the same in any program where it’s available. Barring any existence of a gamma shift (if they’re MOV files) the best you can do is simply compensate with a correction to back down the brightness.
