hi all am just new to this game, am trying to grasp as much as i can i read through a lot of posts here but couldnt find anything that can help me out..
my problem is i just got myself a new toy xha1 and shoot some footage but due to my lack of knowledge shooting under sun without any nd filter showed that the footage was overexposed now how do i go about correcting this in pp cs3.
can anyone please shed some light...
thanks to all of you pros in advance

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.
