How do i brighten my video file

[Sifaga]

I have an AVI file from my DV camcorder

its of a wedding and its very dark

i am using the brightness/contrast filter in virtualdub

by making it more bright and playing with the contrast i can get it better than it is

i know garbage in garbage out and im content with what i got after the filter

but is there anything else i can do to get it clearer

are there any other ideas or filters that i can use to make it clearer

thanks in advance

MSU Smart Brightness 1.0 may be one to try. Here's one site with it: http://www.soft32.com/download_102722.html

Hi sifaga,

What video editing software (if any, and apart from VirtualDub) do you have access to?

I ask coz I use Premiere Pro and I know that that has all sorts of manipulation / filter-type functions. That said, I'm not greatly familiar with them but they may be more comprehensive than VirtualDub. Of course, they could be a load of cr@p - but I'd hope / expect not with Premiere Pro 1.5!!!

I should say that I've not used the brightness / contrast filters in VirtualDub, so they may well be comparable to Premiere Pro...

Post a representative frame cap and we'll see what we can do.
