Correct a clip shot too dark or too bright. Exposure scales the light in every frame the way an aperture or shutter change would, with highlight protection to keep bright areas from clipping when you push it up.

Exposure and protection

Exposure is neutral at 100. Raise it for underexposed footage and lower it for overexposed footage. Highlight Protection rolls off the brightest tones as they approach white. Gamma moves the midtones after the exposure change.

Consistent across the clip

The correction is fixed for the whole clip, so if the exposure in the source changes mid-shot, that change remains. Split the clip and correct each part separately if it does.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this recover blown-out highlights?

No. Pixels recorded as pure white carry no detail to bring back. Lowering exposure turns them gray. Highlight Protection helps when raising exposure, by easing bright areas toward white instead of clipping them.

How is exposure different from brightness?

Exposure scales light, like opening the aperture: bright areas brighten more than dark ones. Brightness shifts every tone by a similar amount.

What does Mix do?

It blends the corrected frame with the original, so a strong correction can be applied partially.

What happens to the audio?

It is copied into the export unchanged when the container can hold its codec, and re-encoded when it cannot. A note under the export button says which happened.

Exposure Adjustment

Raise or lower image exposure using offset and gamma controls. Protect highlights, shift tonal focus, and blend the correction with the original.

Brightness and Contrast Video

Adjust the brightness and contrast of a video, with gamma for the midtones and a soft S-curve for gentler contrast. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Orton Video Effect

Screen a blurred, brightened copy of every video frame over the sharp original for a dreamy glow that keeps detail. Set blur radius, glow amount, soft layer exposure, saturation, and shadow protection. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Split Toning Video

Tint the shadows and highlights of a video in two different colors, such as teal and orange, while preserving brightness. Set shadow color, highlight color, balance, and mix. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Black Mist Video Filter

Add the look of a black pro-mist diffusion filter to a video: light sources bloom into a soft veil and blacks lift slightly. Set diffusion strength, veil spread, black lift, highlight bias, and warmth. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Blur Video

Blur every frame of a video with a Gaussian blur, and mix the blurred frame back over the sharp one to soften rather than erase detail. The blur scales with the output size, so the preview matches the export. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Bokeh Video Effect

Defocus every frame of a video and turn bright highlights into round or polygonal bokeh discs. Set highlight threshold, disc diameter, aperture blades, background defocus, and disc brightness. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Video Channel Mixer

Rebuild the red, green, and blue channels of a video from weighted mixes of the source channels, or mix them into a custom black and white. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Video Clarity

Raise or lower midtone local contrast in a video to add punch or soften texture, with radius and tonal focus controls. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Cyanotype Video Effect

Print every frame of a video as a cyanotype: Prussian blue shadows, pale paper highlights, and a fixed paper texture of stains and fibre. Set pigment color, exposure, contrast, and depth. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Duotone Video Effect

Map every frame of a video onto a two-color gradient from a shadow color to a highlight color, and shift the balance between them. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Engraving Video Effect

Turn every frame of a video into an antique engraving: hatch lines that follow the form, crosshatching in the shadows, and etched edges that move slightly on every frame. Set ink and paper colors, exposure, and line density. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
