Stage Lighting washout overexposure on only one person
The stage lighting on a last minute job was too bright on one area of the stage.
Unfortunately is was the on the main artist.
I will fix the lighting problem at the source for future event at this location.I know overexposure is a point of no return problem.
But… I could use help trying to soften/correct this current video
Some of the new plug ins are unfamiliar to me.
I’ve used vegas pro 9 on and off for several years.
I’ve upgraded to vegas pro 14.I’ve read many post on color correction and levels.
but my research time is running short.
Thank you. I respect and appreciate all I have already learned just by reading existing posts
here is screen shot.
Thanks,
Bob

Bob, here’s a technique I stumbled across on the Sony Vegas forum a few years ago.
Put 3 filters, a “Invert” (at 100%), “Color Corrector”, “Invert” (at 100%).
Then lift up the gamma of the color corrector in the middle.
This darkens highlights first, in the logarithmic fashion, more like a “iris closing” way.
You can also put a color corrector secondary to select reds and lower the gamma a bit.Here are two screen shots for you.
The first one is the setting I used.
The second is after my (rather limited) attempt at correction.
I masked the singer on the right so that any adjustments would only affect her.
Feel free to play around as needed. Good luck.

Thanks Mike,
I’m working to see what improvements I can get with this trick.
Then I need to brush up on masking to leave the rest of the video alone.…” and another learning journey begins.”
