Click the Effects panel on the right side, choose Color Adjustments, and go to Exposure. To make a video darkener adjustment or reduce overall brightness, type a minus sign in front of the percentage you want to decrease. For half brightness, enter -50%, and watch your footage instantly respond.
To edit video brightness and boost clarity, upload your file to Descript. In the Effects menu, open Color Adjustments, then Exposure. Type in the percentage of brightness you want (for example, 40% or 60%), and the preview updates immediately.
Brightness indicates how light or dark your video looks overall, saturation affects the intensity of its colors, and contrast highlights the range between shadows and highlights. Each setting helps you refine your finished video.
You can edit kecerahan video and saturation for free by dragging your file into a Descript project. Click Effects, then Color Adjustments. Adjust Exposure for brightness and tweak saturation as needed. You can export one watermark-free video per month on the free plan or opt for unlimited exports starting at $12/month.
