It's been a while since I had the Avid 205 effects class. I was shown a way to use Paint Effect to make Lumanince peaks legal. by setting the Amt control using a full frame Lighten effect you could dial it so the peaks over 100% would only be 100%. I'm trying but not getting the results I want. I think in class we did it to a still or footage of a waterfall where the spectaculars were over 100% and the effect made the highlights all 100%. Perhaps I'm misremembering the effect but I'm pretty sure it was a mode in Paint effect. I'm trying to knock down a bright window in the background of an interview to avoid having to roto a darken paint effect. Does anyone remember that tip/trick or have another suggestion to knock down the luma on the bright areas of the screen. TIA
