Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Adjust the tint and the contrast on your television or whatever other playback monitor you might be viewing. Surprisingly, this simple step solves the problem much of the time.
Step2
Upload the dark video onto your computer hard drive so that the image can be digitized. By transferring the image into digital data you allow yourself the opportunity to play with its composition.
Step3
Manipulate the coloring and the shade in video editing software. Make sure you have saved multiple copies of the dark video so that you don't irreparably damage the image in your light experiments.
Step4
Take the video to an editing specialist if you find your own ability to enhance the image fails. There are many specialists in this kind of field that can pull off amazing restorations of things like a dark video for rather affordable prices.
Step5
Check to make sure the video film you used to ill effect is appropriate for the light circumstances in future video opportunities. Set up optimal conditions rather than have to fall back on corrective measures to light up your dark video.
