Hi Mickey,
You can try levels or shadow highlights or some other control/color correction filter but if your footage is much overexposed you wont be able to repair it (all the information abobe 100% luminance is already lost).

Cheers

Try going in the "video Effects" click on "Ajust" and select "Auto levels Adjust". Drag it into the affected clip. render it, and it should improve.

Thanks steve and martin i will give that a go again, i already tried to do some color correction but it still didnt give me a good picture, as said previously its very new to me and i think i will have to make sure that i get all the footage correct rather than doin it in the premiere cs3.
