I correct the exposure on my footage using the Sony Levels command in conjunction with the Histogram. When you drag the second slider from the top, toward the left it affects the highlights. If you drag far enough the highlights should crush against the right side of the histogram.
With me so far?
Well the other day I was editing a corporate ceremony which was one long 55 minute file on the timeline. I went through it and did some clean-up editing, removing sections of down-time between speeches. I get to one section and I try to pop the highlights a bit and find that the histogram is hitting an imaginary wall. The best way I can describe it is it's crushing to the right (like I explained above) but is a good deal of distance from the actual end of the histogram.
The oddest part is...it's all part of the same single clip. Earlier sections didn't have this problem. I can even grab an earlier section and click the right edge of the event and stretch it so it encompasses the point in the program I was having this problem and it's fine.
What causes this- why do some clips refuse to clip their highlights on the right most edge of the histogram. I checked carefully and there were no other filters either on the event, track or project.
Any input will greatly be appreciated.
