How to use the Video Lighting Editor in 3 steps

When shooting a video, lighting is a critical aspect. Light lets you set the mood, just as it helps you identify the focus of the video. But, if the subject of the video is in the shadows, what impact can you hope to make with the video?

Step 1 of using a video lighting editor

Click on Get Started. You will see an upload panel, which gives you the option to:

  • upload a video you have saved on your system or phone.
  • extract a video from Youtube directly on the Keevi video editor.
  • record a video using the Keevi recorder.
  • use one of the many stock videos that Keevi has uploaded in their library 

Once it is uploaded on the video editor, go to video settings.


Step 2 of using a video lighting editor

Once you have the video settings open, you will see multiple options under colour correction. These options allow you to change saturation, exposure, and contrast. You can even add fade to it.

Using a video lighting editor doesn’t mean you cannot make any other changes to the video. For example, you have the option to trim or cut it. Or, you can adjust the lighting of the video on specific frames only.

You can make your video even more interesting by exploring other in-build features of Keevi. You can add emoji to video or add gif to video. Better yet, convert mp4 to gif.

Using light to your advantage in Videos

Lighting is an important component in the art of video making. It determines how bright or dark the video is, which in turn sets the tone, atmosphere and mood. It is necessary to control the effect light has on each frame.

You might be wondering, how can you possibly do that?

It is no easy task.

But, once you understand light, you will be able to shoot your videos more efficiently. You can start with positioning the light appropriately against the object of your video. Where the light is being reflected from and how you chose to manipulate it affects the quality of your video.

You try to capture well-lit images consistently, but your video still has dark frames?

You can use Keevi to brighten video online.

Once upon a time...

Imagine a time when natural light was all that was available for photographers and videographers. L. Ibbetson was the first man to use artificial light in 1859 when he used oxyhydrogen light. By the 1880s, flash powder was being used. It was highly flammable and was a hazardous choice.

Over the years, technological innovation has made it easier for us to manipulate how light affects each frame. This is possible through flash and with effects that you can apply to pictures and videos.

Have any questions?

Can a Video Lighting Editor help me adjust the hues in the video?

The hues of the video could need adjustment if you recorded it on a gloomy day or under bad lighting. Keevi lets you edit the colour balance of your video as you deem necessary. You can apply colour correction. 

You don’t need to alter saturation across the whole video. If parts of the video need the hues balanced, you can only edit light settings for those frames.

If I brighten video online, will it affect the video quality?

After you brighten video online, you render it. At this point, Keevi gives you the option to choose the quality output. Hence, not only can you maintain the video quality, you can even improve on it.

You will choose the quality output that suits your use. For example, if you need to play it on a bigger screen, you will need a high resolution video so the picture does not pixelate.

How will my video look if I tweak the video saturation?

When you edit the video saturation, you are directly affecting the colour intensity in your video. You can subdue the colours and lighten video or make the video brighter.

Video saturation directly impacts how subtle or bright the colours are.

What are the best settings for optimal video contrast?

To give your video a digitally clean view, you may need to adjust the video contrast. However, you have to be very careful in setting it. Try setting a high contrast ratio while keeping the brightness on the lower side. This helps to enhance the video display.

How does Video brightness affect my video message?

A video message is an easy way to engage audiences. This doesn’t stand true if your video looks like a real low production because of how dark and unclear it is. Lighting, especially video brightness, can make all the difference in how clear the video message is to its audiences.

Tips on Using Video Lighting Editor

You can adjust the contrast, tint, and temperature in a video colour editor to define the role of light elements such as hue and saturation in your video.

1. Contrast is the ratio between white and black. 


When you adjust contrast, you focus on how the light and the dark parts of your video look. This is why high-contrast images show tones in their full range, from bright highlights to dark shadows. 

Low-contrast images don’t show similar sharpness in bright highlights or even dark shadows.

2. Harsh light creates high contrast images.

Harsh light smashes into the objects the video is focusing on, highlighting them greatly. On the other hand, soft light has a rich quality that makes it much sought after for a good video shoot. You can even try combination light, but it requires some practice to master.

3. Avoid recording a video in direct sun. 

Direct sun can be tricky to record videos in. It makes managing video saturation difficult; in fact, it can be unflattering to the subject of the video. It enhances even the tiniest of the flows.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
