Need Professional Video Color Correction — No AI-Only Edits I’m looking for an experienced video editor/colorist to professionally color correct a video that is overexposed and needs better balance, saturation, contrast, and overall visual quality. I have already tried using AI tools, but the results were not successful. I’m specifically looking for someone who understands manual color correction and is not simply going to run the video through an AI filter and send it back. What I need: * Fix overexposure as much as possible * Improve color balance and saturation * Adjust contrast, brightness, highlights, and shadows * Make the video look natural and clean * Maintain as much detail as possible * Provide a finished video file ready to use **Important:** Please only apply if you have real experience with video color correction and can show examples of previous work. I’m looking for someone who can actually evaluate the footage and make professional adjustments manually. Please include: 1. Examples of previous color correction work 2. Your estimated turnaround time 3. Your price 4. What software you use Thank you.

Hey! I have experience working with manual color correction and exposure recovery, especially in situations where AI tools don’t produce clean or natural results. I understand the importance of balancing highlights, shadows, saturation, and skin tones carefully instead of relying on automatic filters. I usually work in DaVinci Resolve and focus on keeping as much detail and texture as possible while making the footage feel natural and polished. Turnaround time and pricing would depend on the footage length and condition, but I’d be happy to review the material first and give you a realistic estimate. Feel free to contact me so I can show you previous work and we can discuss the project in more detail.

Hi, I’d love to help with your project. I understand that you’re looking for real manual color correction — not just AI filters — and that’s exactly how I approach grading work. I can professionally improve the footage by balancing exposure, recovering highlights as much as possible, adjusting contrast, saturation, shadows, and overall color balance to achieve a clean and natural look while maintaining maximum detail. I mainly use DaVinci Resolve for color correction and grading because it gives precise manual control over exposure and color recovery. What you can expect: • Professional manual color correction • Natural and balanced final look • Detail preservation as much as possible • Ready-to-use exported video • Fast communication and revisions if needed Turnaround Time: 1–2 days (depending on footage length) Price: We can discuss after reviewing the footage I’d also be happy to review a sample clip first and let you know what level of recovery is realistically possible. Looking forward to working with you. — Rajat

You need a manual color correction fix, not an AI pass - the goal is recovering an overexposed image and restoring natural, clean visual balance. I understand the problem: the footage already failed with AI tools, so this now requires proper grading judgment, not automation. What I will do: Manually recover highlights and reduce overexposure Balance exposure, contrast, saturation, and white levels Restore natural skin tones and detail where possible Clean up the overall image to look consistent and usable Deliver a final export that looks professional and natural Deliverable: Fully corrected video (ready-to-use final file) Clean export in your preferred format Software: DaVinci Resolve / Premiere Pro (manual grading only) Send the file and I’ll assess what detail can be recovered before starting.
