 Hello everyone, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro tutorial. This one I'm going to show you how to light dark footage. And I'm going to show you how to do it in under three minutes. Now as you'll see here, I've loaded in some stock footage of this guy here walking through a dark forest and it's really dark and it's dark on purpose because I want to show you the technique. So the first step, as you can see here, you load up Premiere Pro 20. I've got 2021 part of me, it just launched today. So I've got the newest version and I'm going to show you how to make this dark footage light. First step, drop some footage into the timeline like I have done here. The second step is you may be on the editing workspace. What I like to do is I like to make sure that I've selected the effects workspace. In particular, up at the top right, you're going to see effects. And I'm going to now search here and I'm going to type in light. L-I-G-H-T, come on Curtis, you've got this. And you've already pre-selected here, but under video effects, under adjust, you're going to see lighting effects. Drag and drop that onto the footage. Now you're going to get this weird looking light here. This is not what we're going for, so don't panic. The next step is you want to now go over to the left side under effect controls. Click on lighting effects and you're going to see here that it's got this weird shape, no panic. What you want to do now is you want to drop down light one right here. So click the chevron, click it again, and you're going to see light type. Let's switch that from spotlight to directional. Now with just one click, we have relit this dark footage. And let me show you. No lighting, lighting. For a lot of people, that is all you'll need to do to make this your dark footage light. So that could be the end of tutorial for you. You want to learn a little more, just carry on with me. The next thing you can adjust, and I'm going to adjust it up higher for the demonstration purposes, is you can adjust the intensity. Now I'm going way over the top here to 70, but this is just, let's go with 70. This is just again to show you the effect. So off, on. It is completely relit. Now obviously this is too far and too much for the highlights are blown up, but again, this is tutorial. So not to worry. The last thing I'm going to recommend you do is click on the light color. Now this is an option that not a lot of people know about, but when you click on the light color, you can actually color grade, or in this case, light grade, I suppose, your footage. So this is dark footage of a guy going through a forest. I'm going to go down here and select a bluish color. And I'm going to go like this. Let's go something like that. And now I'm going to click left click on. Okay, look at that. That is like a horror film. Again, it's a little bit too much. If I was to do it, I'd probably go somewhere like this. Yeah, sure. And then I would jack the intensity up a little more. And presto, you have relit this footage. Yeah, it started like this guys, and now we've got it all the way to this. It's completely affected. It's completely different. If we put it back to white, we'll have the bright light white again. That's all there is to it for relighting footage. Let me know what videos you'd like to see. I got a lot more stuff coming up. Thanks for watching.
