Hi,

can anyone else confirm that this footage is overexposed and not correctly recorded?

becuase i think all setings in PP are correctly setup.

here is the source: https://mab.to/UiryYNiJYEoFO/eu1

Correct answer PaulMurphy

Is this the original camera file or a transcode? It's definitely clipping in the scopes:

What camera was used to film it?

See the dense white line at the top of the scopes in Paul's image? That looks to be clipped data.

And Paul's knowledgeable enough that if he could reduce the White level and get it back, he would have demonstrated that. So I"m assuming, like Paul, it's just gone.

What settings on the camera, what codec/format was it recorded in?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Getting media with problems is such a bummer. Especially when you can't really 'fix' it, and have to choose whether to not use it, or to blend better stuff with it, make the better stuff not so good so it blends better.

And that process always hurts to do!
