Light glare on video

Post by Heesenproductions »

Hi, all

Anybody who can give me tips on how to remove light glare from video using a filter? I have a couple of video clips where the light was to sharp during a concert and now I have light glare from faces, some of them so bad that no facial features is showing. :cry:

About the only thing you can do is try darkening it, maybe adjusting the contrast. However being too white, is extremely difficult if not impossible to correct. The color is "washed-out", and no longer there. If it were the other way, too dark, then you stand a better chance of correcting it.
