My friend, love your video! please look up how to add chapters in TH-cam. It makes it really easy to find the relevant parts of the video. Wishing only the best for you. Cheers !
Mannnn thanks so much! YOu just saved me from having to re-film 2 hours worth of the hardest to shoot footage I've done. The LUT at the end was the perfect sales pitch, to thank you I was happy to purcahse it and actually the one you put in at the end was PERFECT on the footage. Thanks!
Glad I found your video. I moved from Premiere Pro 2018 to 2023 just now and I started to see weird overexposure on all of my videos, but this shows the fix. Thanks!
Hey there Icelandic Guy! I swear I repeated the intro to try to get the correct spelling of your name, but I am awful at it. Just wanted to hop on here and thank you for making this video. I had the awful idea of filming next to window (instead of being behind it) and I almost lost a good of amount of quality footage. I seriously was about to just "highlight and press delete" haha! Thanks to you, I managed to understand Premiere Pro a little more when it comes to the Color tab. It seemed so daunting at first, but you really helped make it easy to understand. I didn't lose this week's video cuz of you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Awesome Video man! Often the over exposed parts have hard edges. I get rid of that by making a shoulder in the luminance curve and then i slowly increase the exposure until the now slightly grey highlights almost reach 100% white and voilà there is a softer gradient between blown out highlights and the rest
I would say you could improve this footage even further. Use hls and try separate yourself from the image so that you can correct only you. By doing this you dont wash out the rest of the image and you are able to expose the focus point (you) even better. If the focus point is properly exposed most things will be forgotten haha. Great video
OMG! I love your personality. Your humour is everything and this video was super explanatory. Can I ask please, how do we copy the corrections on one footage and repeat on the others?
Hi! Click the clip on the sequence which you want to copy the corrections from. Open the Effect Controls -window. Click the "(fx) Lumetri Color" -effect and copy (cmd+C on Mac or ctrl+C on windows). Next click on the clip you want to paste the corrections to and select paste (cmd+P or ctrl+P). I'm not sure how to patch paste to many at several time, I just scroll the clips on the sequence with right-arrow key and paste.
This is a video about basic luma correction and not exactly about overexposure. You could have done more to fix image. On the forehead, you could have qualified the overexposed area with HSL Secondary tools and added a tint to increase saturation in that area. It would make a big difference.
I can't stop coming back and referencing this video 😅 It's actually made me almost too lazy to make sure my video isn't overexposed while recording because your video helps so much! 😂
this was perfect. i realized the slight over exposure issue after i finished editing so it's going to require updating each individual clip. is there a way to save one of the clips as a preset so that i can apply it to all the clips? Thank you!
I love your solution to fixing blown out footage (4:32) "Highlight it like this, and...." (cool I'm going to get a fix that I can use for my footage that is blown out... nope) "press delete." Lol that was the best. Thanks man you saved me SO much time. I fell out of my chair laughing :)
Thanks man thought my lighting was perfect then Bamm in production the evil exposure monster revealed itself. You deserve the Sub and keep up the good work
Perfect video and explanation with a great sense of humor! I still couldn't save my video because it was beyond repair - I looked like some kind of superhero that was glowing like a nuclear explosion. But I enjoyed your video so much that I subscribed anyway haha!
@@thaticelandicguy thank you. Usually the videos are great, but this time the IPhone optics were not able to cope. I had levels of light up to the highest spectrum. Took about 6 hours to fix.
I wish I could use the "never let it happen in the first place" advice, but I don't set the cameras up at my job, I just get the footage after they've filmed it. GoPros are the bane of my existence.
don't really like that bar so much, only touch that if needed - because it affects the whole image, as in everything. You don't really have that much control. Better imo to do it separately to, highlight, white, etc... More control :)
Please don't try to dislike videos , people's out there helping us in correcting our problems, if you don't understand then move on WELL done bro 👍👌 Helped me a lot Da Vinci resolve complicated me in fixing this problem , U helped me 😃
Hi, great video, big help! I'm having a similar problem. I used some of the tips from this video which were good, but didn't give me the desired effect. I've got clips which I'm trying to match but shot on different days. Problem is the light source and highlights are hitting in different directions and one clip looks sunnier than the others. Would you know any tips that could reduce or recolour only the areas effected by the light? Any feed back would be much appreciated!
Hi I'm a super novice and working on my short film. It wasn't shot perfectly so I'm trying to save disaster in some of the clips lol. My problem is sun coming through living room windows; they're totally blown out. Is there any saving shots like these? Thank you. Your video was great, I like your teaching style. Cheers.
Thanks for the comment :) Soooo now I haven't seen your footage, but how you are describing it then it might be to blown out. The thing is when footage is to overexposed there is no way to recover it, unfortunately.
Hi! this video is SOOO helpful..! However, I have a question because my original videos are totally NOT overexposed, but when I import them to preimiere, they look totally whitewashed. I checked on the Display Color Management box because before, when I imported a screenshot of the monitor, it was too dark. Now, the screenshot looks fine, but all the videos appear over exposed.....
excuse me can you help me i have videos for night shoots for a lighting company so he light it is very exposure and i don't know how to fix it your steps realy helped me a little but still there some areas has a lot of exposure !!
Very helpful, just subscribed, so here's the problem i'm facing, my video looks good even though i shot it with a phone but the issue rises when there is movement, the frame brightens for like 2 seconds and then returns back to it's normal colour. those 2 seconds of light exposure kill my video quality. Any ideas how to fix those?!
Thank you. Funny and instructive ;) but there is one thing I would like to know additionally: what, if I don´t have a full scene overexposed but only a part of a clip? How can I manage to get a smooth fade from one part of the clip to the next? Let´s say from the good part to the overexposed (and corrected) part?
@@thaticelandicguy Sorry, my fault. Not a part of what is seen on the screen, but a part of the whole clip. One part is in the house and then, when you go out of the house and film outside, this part outside is overexposed. Shure, you can cut the clip and only change the part out of the house, but that hardcut does not look nice.
I definitely learned to try not to shoot overexposed trying to fix this footage right now, any tips how to prevent getting overexposed skies? I have an nd filter on and messed w/aperture but i think I should’ve brought my iso down but in the moment I didnt think about it since it was a run n gun shoot racing against the sun.
Good info. I have actually been color correcting in a similar way. I'd like to see how you do the before/after line go across the screen. Is it a transition?
@@kevinjack5184 take your lumetri settings put them in an adjustment layer ..add a crop effect to adjustment layer animate it with keyframes for the cherry on top add a white bar on the animating line
hey thanks so much it was very helpful for me. I'm new with the lighting and my lights were to bright, after recording i realized my face is just way to bright, I looked like a ghost Lol. I was able to fix it with this tutorial. i don't have to re record it

You can now add it as chapters in the video, as it could help more people. Thanks!
Hey I just want to say thank you, my footage looks great after I took your advice.
Thank you for being the only person on the internet to actually show a good way to fix a very over exposed image.
Mannnn thanks so much! YOu just saved me from having to re-film 2 hours worth of the hardest to shoot footage I've done. The LUT at the end was the perfect sales pitch, to thank you I was happy to purcahse it and actually the one you put in at the end was PERFECT on the footage. Thanks!

The delet part killed me. Good one
Hahaha million dollar tip 😎
Yeah that got me too. And the back then correction, haha
i was seriously waiting what he was going to do 😂
Thank you my friend! You are the only one who made a video where even I can understand what needs to be done and fixed my footage :)
Thank you so much! This really helped fix one of the scenes in a music video I'm currently working on! Cheers from Paris :)

What is HLS?
Thank you! You're a great story teller. It felt like I was watching a story and interacting at the same time. Keep doing what your doing. 😊
Dude, thank you. You saved me like 30 minutes of INSANE Skydio 2 footage today.
Best video on this subject by far

You never touched the exposure bar... Thank you, very helpful lesson Arnulfur! Peace!

Hi! I'd like to know how to fix extreme stage light changes in videos for example those taken from concerts? Thank you! 😊
if the video is to over exposed there's no way to fix that :( you can try to mask it out but it's hard.

Glad I could help!
thank you! I learned a lot 🤗
Thank you!! You saved me from scrapping a lot of footage!
Epic! Thanks for watching!

excuse me can you help me i have videos for night shoots for a lighting company so he light it is very exposure and i don't know how to fix it your steps realy helped me a little but still there some areas has a lot of exposure !!
Fantastic, thank you. So helpful and i'll be sure to checkout your other videos.
Thank you, learning how to fix an overexposed Iceland video, from an Icelandic.
can I get a link to the lut you used in this video?
If need be, could the correction be globally applied to several clips at once?

if its too blown out then there's nothing you can do really, but you can try to use masks to drag down the highlights just in the sky :)
Thanks for the guidance. The clip is still a disaster, but it's no longer an unmitigated disaster and can be used to serve my needs.
Thank you so much for making this video man! You're a lifesaver!
Thank you so much for the amazing video, like your style and easy to understand.
you explain those ex-ray images well, I get it now :)
Very, very helpful... thank you from Newcastle, Australia

Thank you! Yes it is - I'll make a tutorial for it 😊
