Overexposed glow on faces/hair - Is there a fix in Post?
Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2018 2:52 am
Dear All,
Though I learned many years ago to edit video, using analog edit suites, I am a relative newbie to using NLE packages so please forgive me if my question is a little rudimentary.
Ok, I am editing an independent feature film, using DaVinci Resolve 14 and wondered if I might ask for advice on how best to deal with slight (but noticeable) overexposure, notably on faces and in some instances on characters with fair hair. I realise "fixing the problem in post" is far from ideal, but no matter what I did in terms of trying to diffuse the light, I couldn't prevent the overexposure.
So, is there a method using the color grading facility for example?
If it is ok, I could upload a brief video clip so that members can see exactly what the problem is and whether there might be a solution. Not sure if I have permission to do that, please advise.
Many thanks,
Elliott
