My friend, love your video! please look up how to add chapters in KZbin. It makes it really easy to find the relevant parts of the video. Wishing only the best for you. Cheers !

[@Rigle]

You can now add it as chapters in the video, as it could help more people. Thanks!

[@jerveylstaley]

Hey I just want to say thank you, my footage looks great after I took your advice.

[@NorayrDervartanian]

Thank you for being the only person on the internet to actually show a good way to fix a very over exposed image.

[@AlonCooperMusic]

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!

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

[@thaticelandicguy]

Great tip! Thank you

[@everillangel5037]

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

[@suddenslipinterspersed-the7847]

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. 😊

[@wooootles]

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!

[@SECONDHANDUSA]

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 :)

[@JordanMFuller]

Thank you man -- been waiting to learn this as it was too daunting my first few videos, super clear and to the point, thanks!!

[@thaticelandicguy]

Glad it helped!

[@musgrovecommunications5579]

Excellent Video, TIG! From the straightforward and easy-to- follow tips to the humour - great stuff!

[@jiretox21]

The delet part killed me. Good one

[@thaticelandicguy]

Hahaha million dollar tip 😎

[@roknroller6052]

Yeah that got me too. And the back then correction, haha

[@shemleins]

i was seriously waiting what he was going to do 😂

[@Dudulewami]

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?

[@jediseppanen4990]

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.

[@CrayCristy]

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!

[@thaticelandicguy]

Thank you so much! I check out your video and it looks great :) Well done!!

[@NaomiBalmaceda]

this is really my 1st time to watch a premiere pro tutorial because of work., and what can I say? worth the time!! thanks Mr Icelandic guy!

[@unknown-lm2ib]

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 😃

[@BeaTeixeira]

I love this channel!!! Helped me sooo much ♥️

[@seanbarron2493]

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!

[@IsisGebnut]

Thank you. Very useful. Was my first attempt at using Lumetri Color and it helped a lot

[@paddyshack2000]

Thank you, very helpful, works both ways. In reverse helped me with a darker videos as well. All the best

[@AlphaCentauri24]

Thank you for the tutorial. It will be extremely useful in correcting overexposed clips.

[@kamilkp]

All of this stuff is obvious to my but I watched it anyway :) well put together and great mic/audio quality man, good improvement! Áfram 🇮🇸

[@thaticelandicguy]

Thanks dude!

[@SiberianHeartty]

Thank you dude!! This helped a lot! It’s surprising how much color correction can change:)

[@thaticelandicguy]

Glad I could help!

[@peterfuentes5893]

Thank you so much for making this video man! You're a lifesaver!

[@pattysmusic524]

What if you have footage that is flickering in and out between perfect and overexposed when you move in the video? Would you just try to use keyframes for that?

[@arthritisadventure]

this was super helpful!

[@bobsanders65]

Most amazing video I've ever seen on how to edit this. You saved me so much time. Subed.

[@emergeproductions8038]

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

[@tyresejf9]

Great video man! Really needed this

[@justcallmeSOO]

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.....

[@rickygwee9513]

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!

[@WaltDoesBikes]

Dude, thank you. You saved me like 30 minutes of INSANE Skydio 2 footage today.

[@nivramati3218]

REALLY REALLY REALLY helpful video!! Thank you

[@tahelrubin4106]

thank you! I learned a lot 🤗

[@williamayton3148]

I have footage which has the highlights blown out, but according to my scopes the highlights are there. This is evident when I bring down my exposure slider. Once I bring the exposure slider down, the highlights are perfect, but my subjects in the shot are too dark and underexposed. What I am researching is if there is a way to select only those super whites, and bring them down rather than then entire image. Is this possible or am I goign to have to deal with the overexposed windows?

[@chibiwolf_]

Thanks a lot, this really helped me out. Looking forward to future videos :D

Excellent video, thanks!

Thank you guy! Another helpful video for us all.

[@thaticelandicguy]

thanks!! :)

[@archaja]

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]

Hey! You use a mask an feather it out 😄

[@archaja]

@@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.

[@LasVegasHomeTours]

Fantastic Tutorial!!! Thank you so much!

[@magnoliahousepodcast5023]

A PERFECT video! Answered every one o my questions, thank you!

[@kevinjack5184]

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?

[@thaticelandicguy]

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

[@kevinjack5184]

@@thaticelandicguy Thanks. I see it all the time and I'm like, 'I wanna do that!'

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.

[@thaticelandicguy]

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 :)

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?!

[@angelthman1659]

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.
