Yes bumping up the brightness will work ,but as I mentioned different projectors and signal paths require different settings . I would try it at the projector end to start with.
First and foremost set the projector to factory default and go from there . You should be able to get a reasonable picture from doing this . Write down the amount that you have had to boost the picture and then replicate that in your NLE.
It may sound pretty like a pretty crude way to do it, but until the industry relises that the old broadcast standard does not apply to all of todays methods of play back, we are stuck with this crude color correction method.
I’m been making videos for some of the current LED walls an it’s a frigging nightmare.
