Thank you Jeremiah!!!! That was the response I needed to hear since on ‘an embarrassing low budget’ I can’t afford a calibrated monitor nor can I hire someone who does – however on a film of this budget your suggestion is absolutely appreciated. It might not turn out the best in the world but for the budget I shot with – it will be adequate – my many thanks.

Okay guys – you’ve undoubtedly nailed my problem – I am only viewing on my computer monitor. The color I’m happy with – only I want the footage a little darker – do I have to apply a filter to all my clips in the timeline or is there a filter or another way to lower the overall darkness of the footage more easily? I copied and pasted the file into a new timeline & it made one long continuous clip from beginning of movie to end of movie but I couldn’t apply a filter to darken. Thanks for your help. I did this on an embarrassing low budget & couldn’t afford a calibrated monitor though one is definitely preferred – I just have to make the best with what I got so any suggestions at this point would be greatly appreciated. If worse comes to worse I will darken each clip.
