Compressor for VIDEO??
Hey Guys,
I have a question that may or may not be stupid. Does Vegas 7.0 (or any editing software for that matter) have a "video compressor"...so to speak...where it brings up "dark" areas of the video and tones down "overexposed" areas of the video? I know that audio has compressors that do this...just wondering if it is possible with video (without applying masks.) |

Mike Crash's auto levels sort of does this.
2- An alternate approach would be something like Photoshop's shadow/highlight (also in Premiere, After Effects). Vegas doesn't have this. |

Brightness and contrast filters (am I missing something here?)

Color Curves = GOOD :-) The reason I say this is because B&C affects the entire image at once while curves gives you control over the darks OR mids OR brights, independent of each other. Buy Glenn's Color Correction DVD (I did & highly recommend it) to learn how to use this and several other tools effectively. |
