How can I make the video clips brighter?The gamma,
brightness and contrast varies only the monitor but not
the clips.The clips can be enhanced brighter separately
and independently but every time it is viewed.

===========================================
You can brighten them in Windows Movie Maker.

Just import a clip...drag it to the time line and
drag and drop the "Brightness" video effect on it.
If it's not bright enough...do it again.

Well, this may not be the best idea after all
because your .mpeg or .avi will have to be
saved as a .wmv file.

Anyway...I'm using Movie Maker 2 (I don't
remember the options in the eariler version).

(If you do not have the MM2 update, you can
get it at the following link)

Windows MovieMaker 2

I also installed some Effects & Transitions
for Windows Movie Maker 2 from the Plus!
Digital Media Edition disk but I'm reasonably
certain that the "Brightness" option was already
included in MM2.

If your version has the "Brightness Increase"
option...here's how to use it:

Import a video clip...File / Import Into Collections.

Left click/drag the clip onto the timeline.

Left click the "Video Effects" button...or go to...
Tools / Video Effects...

On your Video Effects screen...left click the,
Brightness, Increase...option and drag it on
top of the clip.

Save the clip.

Hi.
Downloaded Windows MovieMaker 2 and the britness option is there.
Applied it and all went ok except I had to repete "drag and drop the
brightness" at least three times for the entire clip comprising about 25
pictures. Time consuming though!.

You can also right click the clips for a menu...that
may be more convenient.
