How to gradually change the brightness in a movie

Hi
I have done a lipdub in my school last week and i have a problem when i view the movie: The light is very bright in some places and some other places are too dark. I found a way to change the lighting but it's not gradual. It's very brief and it creates a kind of "flash". I would like to know if there is a way to change the lighting gradually. i use Premiere pro CS5.
thank you in advance for your help.

Apply an effect that you can keyframe. IIRC, there's a luma corrector effect. Find that and drag it to a clip on your timeline that you want to correct.
In the luma corrector, there's a gain control, again IIRC (I haven't had to do this in awhile so it's not really fresh in my mind). Use keyframing to pick what level of gain you want at certain points in the clip -- and PPro will ramp the gain up and down for you between keyframe points. For example, if you like the light at the start, make that a gain of 1.0. Then toward the middle it's gotten darker, so you have to make that gain 1.1 to make it match the first keyframe. Then the end of the clip it's started to get lighter again, but not at the same level as the beginning, so you have to set it to 1.05. Now when you play back, you'll see the correction applied in a linear fashion. You may find that you have to apply more keyframes, and that you have to adjust the value of the keyframes up and down. It's an iterative process, and it has a learning curve. You'll get better at it if you do more of it. But in the end, you can make the clip play with fairly even "light" as it were.
But what this should really teach you is to control your lighting so that you don't have to do this again. Because it is a PITA. And it can usually be avoided, and should be.

  • ITunes 11 - how can I change the genre of a movie now?

    So I've had iTunes 11 for about 3 hours now and so far it *****.  One of my main problems is I can't find how I can change the genre of a movie anymore.  I used to do this from Get Info so I could organise all my movies in to my own genres that make sense to me which helps me find what I want to watch when using Apple TV.
    It will still let me do that for movies I bought before I "upgraded" to 11 but for the movies I bought this evening, after upgrading, the genre drop down is locked down.
    Am I just looking in the wrong place?  Or have Apple somehow got the idea that pointlessly preventing your customers from organising their content in their own way is somehow an improvement and I'm stuck with their nonsensical genre classifications?
    Same thing goes for movie titles now I think of it - I've edited movie titles after purchase (e.g. I've put HP1 in front of the title of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and HP2 in front of Chamber of Secrets) so that series list in watching order, rather than alphabetical order, on my Apple TV.  It's not letting me do that from Get Info either
    Please someone tell me I'm just doing it wrong - I don't think I've the patience to jump through the hoops necessary to get 10.7 back!

    I had the same bug in songs. It was directly related to tracks purchased in the iTunes store, they wouldn't allow any changes, it was all grayed out.
    Here's how I got around it. When I selected more than one item and any other item was not from the iTunes store it would allow me to Get Info and change everything with no problems.
    My suggestion is that if you need to, add in a movie from your hard drive (anything at all, it will be a dummy placeholder) that you can you use to select along with the one you need to change. Use command click to select non-contiguous files (even works in different genres), then get info (or command i) and then change your info. You can keep using the same dummy file for as long as you need to to fix the files with incorrect info, then delete it when done.

  • How do I change the title on a movie?

    I have used the filmstrip theme on my first video. It was intially called "My first project". I changed the name of the project to "Drayke's First Year." However, it is still saying "My First Project" in the actual video. My thoughts were that the theme would need to be changed to something else, then changed back to filmstrip, in order to reflect the changes to the project name. This has not been the case. I have been struggling with this for the last day, and any help is much appreciated.
    Sorry, I'm a happy switcher as of yesterday... so I'm still learning the ropes. THANKS!

    double click on the title in the screen view on the right...where it has the wrong title-- it will then let you type what you want....i have used the same film strip.

  • When using just Apple TV, how can I change the Genre of a movie?

    It's using iCloud and some of the movie genre's make no sense. For example, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark is listed as Horror, but Elvira's Haunted Hills is showing as Comedy.
    I do realize that Elvira Movies are generally listed as Comedy/Horror on IMDB, and that's fine. However I'd prefer to have these movies listed together properly when looking at movies by Genre.
    Additionally, The Lost Boys is listed as a Comedy where as it really should be a horror film. It's humor is secondary after all.
    Is there a way for me to change, individually, my movies genre? I don't care if it affects anyone else or not, it just doesn't help me to have them so disjointed. This is only using Apple TV and the movies that stream directly from iTunes central database, not anything located on my personal devices (I can change those just fine locally and they will show up correctly if I just look at it via a computer connection.

  • How can I change the date of a movie clip?

    I just digitized some Video8 analog tapes into iMovie and iMovie filed them under 2012 category (since analog tapes have no metadata I suppose). Is there any way to assign the correct year (i.e. 1998) to the clips so they will be filed under the correct year?

    Hi Karsten
    Me just adding in - tried this date and time change and as I get it
    • iMovie'08 - can't be done - Right-Click or Shift-Click or whatever-Click - just don't work
    • iMovie'09 (and most probably iM'11) - Exactly as describet - BUT one must ctrl-Click on one CLIP at a time - Can't be done to a full Event in one stroke (at least I can not figure out how)
    (Now I did figure it out - Select Clip one - keep Shift-key down and select last clip in Event - then when all is selected ctrl-Click in one of them and Change Date & Time and all will change)

  • How can I change the location of my movie folder

    Hello,  I just consolidated two mac computers into one mac mini.  Now both my wife and I want to share the same actual computer (new mac mini) and share media folders so we are not duplicating photo imports and movies.  I figured out how to map the iTunes library and the iPhoto library to a shared folder, but cannot get how to map the 'movie' folder to a single folder for both accounts.  This would be needed so we can share and work on the same iMovie projects between the two accounts.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • How do I change the name of my movies in Apple TV from Unknown Genre

    I assume I would change it in iTunes?  When I go to Computers on Apple TV, I get Music, Movies etc., but my
    movies are listed under "Unknown Genre"
    Thanks for your help
    Cheers

    Not sure if you're on PC or Mac but right click on a movie and choose 'Get Info' which should give a tabbed metadata and proprerties view - one of the tabs will allow you to alter genre or add a custom one of your own.

    how do you change the brightnees

    In the Photos app, select the desired photo, tap the Edit button (top right) and tap the "magic wand" button on the bottom.  This will turn on Auto Enhance which may make it brighter.  If this doesn't do what you want, you'll need to download a photo editing app.

  • Hi i cannot change the brightness on my late 2011 macbook pro.

    Hi i cannot change the brightness on my late 2011 macbook pro. It is stuck on the lowest level in which i can't view the screen without a flash light. Please i need help how to solve this. I was on my computer when i checked the back which it was really dusty, i tried unscrewing the bottom however some screws were too tight so i took it upon myself and got a rod and startedremoving the dust off the vents and i may have clicked something as i closed the lid on the macbook i could hear the sounds still from the film but the lid was closed as i opened it back up the brightness was on low but sounds were still playing. All the buttons work , all of the F keys, apart from the brightnes keys. I can shine a tourch on the screen and see the display but the brightness will not change but i can see when i click the brightness it says it changes. I have connected it to a spare tv i have via hdmi and i really need help as this is my primary computer and i need it for work when going away. Thank you

  • How can I change the color of birthday calendar?

    The birthday calendar in the new iPhone OS gets it color automatically. How can I change the color? It does not correspond to the color in iCal on my Mac.

    I figured out a solution for changing the other calendars but not the birthday calendar. Although it's not the most direct fix, it worked for me. Apparently Apple didn't think to give us the ability to choose the calendar color. I use Entourage and sync over the air. When I upgraded to iOS 4 my calendar turned bright red and the birthday calendar was blue. I don't use the birthday calendar so it isn't even enabled in my case. What finally worked was to go through the calendar colors one at a time by disabling and re-enabling the calendar in my mail account settings. I would double click the home button to quickly switch between settings and calendar to check the color each time I enabled the calendar. I had to do this 4 or 5 times to cycle through until blue came back up.
