hello everyone welcome back to another
adult Premiere Pro CC tutorial guys
we're in Premiere Pro CC 2018 as you'll
be able to see here guys and in this one
I'm gonna show you how to relight dark
footage or how to brighten dark footage
okay let's click off of that so here we
go guys I've got some stock footage
selected and I got this from PEC sales
video or video pixels and if you guys
want to follow along with me just throw
in any old footage the darker their
better and I'm gonna show you how to
relight this extremely easy it's gonna
save you a lot of hassle for those you
filmmakers out there I just I just drag
and drop it into the timeline just to
create a sequence here but for you
filmmakers out there that are out
filming and you don't have the right
lighting equipment or you're not sure if
you should go out filming at night
because you know you don't want dark
footage let me show you guys there is a
way to fix that and not to worry so I've
just dragged and drop this into the into
the timeline or the sequence here like I
said and here we go we've got a picture
a video of a of a house in the woods
yeah kind of scary yeah what's up but
it's dark right and if in this case this
is probably what I would want but for
the demonstration purposes this isn't so
I'm gonna show you how to light this bad
boy we're right up it's actually really
easy guys you want to go to your effects
wherever your effects is located if it's
not open automatically make sure the
check mark is under effects here under
window and then check mark by effects
and then yeah actually you've already
done it but in this little bar here you
want to type in lighting and I know you
guys are thinking Captain Obvious is
checking in drag and drop that on there
and you get a little bit of what looks
like a distorted flashlight effect this
isn't what we're going for but do not
worry there is a way around this now the
next step is you want to go to effect
controls and let's see we got here is
just taking a second here and I'm gonna
just drop down opacity I'm gonna draw
I'm actually gonna I'm gonna open up
lighting effects and this is where it
gets good you want to go to light one
drop that down and then watch you go
from spot light which is the default
which I don't agree with it just seems
kind of useless but you want to switch
that over to direct
shanell and when you do that just the
press of that one button this is an
entirely different scene this is lit
entirely differently and it's very very
convincing so let's see what we got here
just with that one little push down on
one little button off on boom it might
be enough right there for what you're
looking for for those who don't want to
go a little bit deeper down and you want
to get it a little bit brighter for
example the number the thing you want to
follow is the intensity here so I'm just
clicking on that and I'm gonna right
slide it come on Curtis slide it right
and boom you can have as much light as
you'd like and if I look at let's say
let's just do us is really overnight it
just for you know demonstration purposes
let's say we've got an intensity of 50
so here is the unedited footage clicked
off and now here is with the effect on
and all you gotta do is toggle this
little effects button to see it on and
off on boom completely different off on
guys that's it if you have some footage
that needs relighting or you took it out
at night and it was too dark out using
you think you didn't get the shot you
wanted try this out I promise you this
might save you a lot of pain a lot of
frustration and that's it guys thanks

more with some more stuff short lectures
