Hi, complete Newbie here...

I have some uncompressed .AVI clips... I need to adjust the brightness of the clips and then compress the files for web friendly viewing...
a 160mb .AVI need to be compress to around 3mb...

I now have Adobe Premiere trial version...
When I click on the "video" tab... then "adjust"... I see "brightness & contrast" .... but I dont know how to use it...

Also... when I try to compress the file.... "export clip"... then "save for web"... I get the Cleaner 5ez... I tried couple of settings, QuickTime... WindowsMedia, etc... and the clips always end up all messed up...

Anybody could help?
I'm I using the right software...?

thanks
