How is the best way to lighten up digital video that was shot indoors with out enough light? I understand that Quicktime Pro can do this. Do I first import into iMovie, then to Quicktime for adjustment, then back to iMovie in order to work with the video clips? Is this possible?
Please help! ... as I opened my big mouth and told my friend that I could probably heal the bad video on my mac. You know, bragging.
Thanks!

I bet there is an option in iMovie to lighten up video. There are plenty of filters out there for it. But yes in order to edit/fix with QuicktimePro you need to import your DV clips from your camera into iMovie and then you can export out straight to DV file (to preserve quality) then edit/fix in QuicktimePro. Then import that DV file back into iMovie. Keep bragging about the mac!
