How to fix overexposed video online

The camera sensors just can't cope with the amount of light and you want to delete the video because it's not pleasant to watch. But it's easy to turn it into something worthy of your library with a special tool by Clideo.

It allows you to adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation and other settings of your recording as you want. It’s completely online and works on any device including Mac, Windows, Android and iPhone.

It is free for all the files that are less than 500 MB. The size is usually enough but if your video turned out to be bigger, no worries — you can subscribe to the Pro version!

    You can adjust the following image settings:

    Move markers to change overexposed video
    • Brightness — changes the amount of light.
    • Contrast — makes dark areas darker and light areas lighter.
    • Saturation — if colors in your video are muted, you can make them brighter and vice versa.
    • Hue — changes the color spectrum.
    • Fade — gives the clip an "erased" effect.
    • Vignette — creates a "photo frame" effect with which the edges of the video become darker.

    Each effect can enhance the image, we recommend that you spend some time experimenting with all six to get the best result. For overexposed videos, pay special attention to brightness and contrast.
