Are your videos too dim or too bright? Adjust brightness settings like exposure, contrast, saturation, temperature and more with the Descript’s video brightness editor. Save time by saving your settings as a template and experiment freely with your video brightness with non-destructive editing.
Record or upload your video to Descript. To upload your video, simply drag and drop it into the timeline. You can also choose to record a new video via remote recording, screen recording, or webcam.
Click your video layer and go to Effects > Color adjustments in the properties panel. To adjust the brightness of your video, you can change the settings for exposure, saturation, contrast, highlights, or shadows. To make it brighter, drag the slider or type the percentage you’d like to see the brightness increased by, and to make it darker, do the same thing with a minus in front of the figure (e.g. -20% will make your video 20% darker).
Once you’re satisfied with the updated brightness of your video, go to Publish on the top right side of the screen. From here, you can choose the resolution and the platform you want to export to and click the Publish button.

Was your video shot in a dimly lit room? No problem. Descript gives your granular control over various color adjustment settings, including exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, and temperature.
Descript’s video brightness editor makes adjusting your videos’ brightness, contrast, and saturation easy without spending hours on color correction. You can also save the color adjustment settings as a template for future videos, helping your videos maintain a consistent look.
There’s no need to keep jumping from one software to another, wasting hours trying to create a video. With Descript, you can record, edit, and publish videos from a single workflow—making your video editing experience as seamless as possible.
Go to the Effects panel on the right of the screen, click on Color Adjustments, and scroll to Exposure. To reduce the brightness of a video, simply type in the percentage you want the video to be dimmed by with a minus in front. For example, to turn down the brightness of a video by half, type -50% in the exposure panel.
To make a dark video brighter, upload your video to Descript. Go to the Effects menu, then to Color Adjustments. Go to the Exposure section and type in the percentage you want the video to be brighter. The playback screen is automatically updated after you type in the percentage.
Brightness, saturation, and contrast refer to different things. Brightness refers to how brightly lit a video is. Saturation refers to how intense the colors are, while contrast refers to the difference between the bright and dark tones in a video or image.
To edit your video's saturation and brightness level for free, you can upload your video file to Descript by dragging and dropping it into a new project. Go to the Effects panel and select the Color Adjustment menu. From there, you can edit the brightness of your video under the Exposure panel and the video’s saturation. You can export one watermark-free video per month on the free plan, and as many as you want starting at just $12/month.
