 Hello everyone, welcome back to another CapCut tutorial. This one, I'm gonna show you how to take dark footage that you've got on your phone or whoever you filmed it, and I'm gonna show you how to brighten it and lighten it correctly. Let me show you what I'm talking about here. I've got this lady here in this footage. I've deliberately selected very, very dark, almost too dark footage where you can just see her, she's doing her thing and she's completely in the dark. And then I've added in some adjustments and I'll just move it to the start here so that you can see what it looks like. And then now I've relit this scene using just CapCut to do this. So how did I do that? Let's go through it step by step. So I'm just gonna go ahead and select this and delete it. Okay, so again, we've got our footage, we're starting from scratch. Okay, the first step here, we're gonna go right to the first screen and you're gonna wanna go, you know how you see the edit, you wanna go to the right side here and you wanna click on the adjust option. The most important one of course is you've probably guessed is brightness, but when you jack up the brightness all the way, it's brighter, but do you see how it's put in a color cast? So we've got a very, very cool and a very blue tint to the film or to the footage that we don't necessarily want. In most cases, unless you're filming a horror film, maybe then you can keep it in. So we're gonna go ahead and make a couple of other extra changes. Contrast, we wanna pull the contrast down a bit because that gets rid of a little bit of the blue. Same with the saturation, you can adjust it, but generally you want the saturation to come down quite a bit because again, we're trying to nullify the blue. The exposure usually will go up a little bit because that allows it to be brighter footage and that's what we're going for. We're going for a brighter look. So again, we're just going through this here step by step. The other one you wanna do is the HSL which stands for huge saturation and lightness. In particular, you'll probably want to adjust, in this case, the blue. So I've clicked on this darker blue and then you'll see here I can adjust it up and down depending on what you want. The hue, not a huge factor, but again, I'm gonna pull the saturation down a little bit and I'm gonna increase the luminance just a little bit. That meaning making it a little bit brighter. Luma is basically brightness. So we've gone ahead and completely changed the look of the shot here. Let's go through one more thing. I'm gonna show you the temp. This is the temperature of the shot. This is basically like a bluish look, is a cool temperature and an orange-ish look is like a brighter temperature. So if I push this up or if I push this down, obviously in most cases we wanna move this up. We want the temperature to go up. So I'm gonna go ahead and there, adjust it to that point. Now, you'll see here, now if we look at the original shot, I'll go back here, this is the original shot and this is the adjusted shot. This is a lot brighter, we see a lot more of her. It's not perfect. If you wanna do great color correction, you can use a tool like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. There's a lot of really, really good ones but this is how you do it. And now, if I wanted to go in and make it even extra brighter, I have a few other options. I can either go in and make some adjustments so I can just click on this and then just start making adjustments again. I've already made some or I'll show you another really cool trick. You can click on it and then watch this hit copy and it applies a second layer. Now, this is way too bright. It's blown out, I get that but you can go into the second layer and then you can start making adjustments like you can, you know, we can decrease the opacity, we can reduce all sorts of things. So that is generally how you get dark footage. Put it into cap cut, make it brighter in just a few minutes there. Thanks for watching guys, ton more stuff coming up, stay tuned.
