Is there any way to darken video?

Post by moroboshi »

I have some videos which are rather over exposed. They're not clipping, so there's room to darken them a little to make them look more natural.

Is there any way to do this within handbrake?

I'm using Handbrake 1.0.7 on Windows 10. No activity log as I haven't encoded anything yet, just poked around at the settings!

Thanks all.

Fallacious logic.

Charming.

All I did was ask a question in a civil, polite way, and you responded with ridicule and rudeness. Please refrain from ever "helping" me again.

No way to adjust exposure/brightness/contrast currently. It's something I've considered implementing for the future if other developers agree. Generally speaking, what you want is a video editor; HandBrake is a post-production tool for final encoding.

Thanks. It would be a nice feature to have, and needn't be in depth. Video editors are complex beasts and probably beyond the budget and needs of many, especially if the only edits required are very minor.

Indeed, I would consider such a feature more inline with restoration, as is NLMeans and others I've worked on.
