See also the tip on "How to make a video" which recalls the basics of video editing and gives some ideas and software tools.

Tip: Use the system tools on your computer: Mac iMovie or Windows Movie Maker for Windows.

Run Windows Movie Maker on your PC..

Step 2: import the file in editing software

Import your file into the video editing software of your choice.
Either:

• the import is done directly from the camcorder
• or you import the file from the hard disk of your camcorder

Step 3: Undertake appropriate clarification

Once your clips imported into the software, simply find the appropriate function depending on the tool or the software used.

You can do so on a part of the video only (so-called clip before editing) or all of your video.

Examples:
• With iMovie, you select a clip and you apply the effect brightness/contrast. The effect applies to the entire clip.
• With Windows Movie Maker: via the same drop-down video effects: you select "increase brightness" and you apply it to your clip.

Tips

• Remember to adjust the brightness of the image filmed at the time of the shooting to have better results in terms of image quality.
• The ideal is not to import the sound - just the image or video to clarify - in matters of weight files (because the risk of a slowdown).
