High exposure fix was created by schmitty83
Hi, I filmed some footage on a canon g7x mark iii and the exposure comp was set to high. All the footage I filmed is too bright and white now. I messed with the color and exposure setting in fcp, although I can't get it to not look  too bright. I included the clip.

Yeah, once the brights (or shadows) are blown-out, there's no data to recover in the original recording. You can only do so much with it.

It doesn't look that bad. Can you trim the *original* camera file to short sample clip using Quicktime Player, then upload it to a place we can access, such as DropBox? Quicktime Player does not usually re-encode the file, so it avoids any "generational loss".  See below for how to use Quicktime Player for this:

If its for YT it may not matter.... have you tried running a lut over it or a preset colour thing - it might fool the eye. A lot of my stuff looks like that

Its meant to be real right? Looks real to me - nothing too much to worry about if you can't do anything with it.
