Do you want to decorate your video, make it special, emphasizing its unique aesthetics, but don't know how? Recommended trying the glare effect on video. This is an interesting video retouching technique that can serve completely different artistic purposes. For example, you can emphasize the necessary details on your video – be it decorations, interior details, or object surfaces. Or perhaps the video lacks a romantic atmosphere, dreamy sunbeams or soft light, a flash of luxury, or a flashy holiday – glare can help here too.

In an ideal video, all the effects are obtained by themselves – the light is distributed evenly, emphasizing the necessary details, and the glare organically complements the aesthetics of the frame. But if you don’t have professional video equipment at hand, a team of cameramen and video directors, and a few days left, it’s unlikely that you will be able to create a perfect video. But do not be upset – today it is possible to add highlights to video using digital video retouching software. These tools can help you add the right effects to your video, draw the viewer's attention to important objects, and generally enhance the visual impact of your video. Let's understand how it works.

How to add highlights to the video?

When watching videos shot with a professional camera, we often notice glare or highlights in the frame. This effect makes the frame more expressive and alive, giving it fullness and richness. This phenomenon occurs because the lens of professional optics is not flat, but semicircular. Accordingly, when a light source falls directly on it (be it a sunbeam or artificial light from a lamp), stripes, circles, or spectra of light glare appear in the frame. It is almost impossible to achieve such an effect when shooting on a phone. Enthusiasts use tricks such as a water drop on the camera, or a wax stain. But the result usually looks very artisanal and bears little resemblance to the expected blowout on film.

To solve this problem, video editing professionals resort to video retouching. Today, there are two main ways to add highlights to a video. The easiest is to use digital generation from Adobe After Effects. Modern video post-processing programs can independently generate highlights and arrange them in the frame at their discretion. But, as we know from other reviews about video processing, the program does not always solve the problem perfectly. The best retouching is always the result of the handwork of a professional editor. At this point, the ideal option is to combine the work of the program with the highlights created previously by hand. To create such highlights, a professional camera shoots in complete darkness, then a beam of light is directed at it – and as a result, we have beautiful high-quality light. Then the black background of the frame is removed, leaving only a highlight – and it is already transferred to the right places in the video.

To create a high-quality picture, it is important to choose the right color and shape of the highlight, as well as place them in the frame to achieve the expected effect.

Applications for creating highlights on video

If video processing is a complicated topic for you, which you don’t want to understand, but you want to get beautiful retouching of your videos, we recommend installing a suitable video processing application. An excellent choice is RetouchMe. This is a team of professional video editing directors who will cope with any tasks in processing your videos in the shortest possible time. Each video is processed manually, taking into account your wishes and only the latest video retouching tools. Video editing has never been so convenient – just install the RetouchMe application and enjoy the result!

I use to love this app but I'm about to get rid of it. It takes forever to receive the pictures and the wait time changes multiple times, making it even longer to get the pictures.

Definitely worth the price, recently editing times have increased greatly and now I don't see an option to pay more coins to speed up but I understand times are tough and headcount of editors might be low, the editors do a great job at editing and that is what matters most at the end of the day. Thank you for keeping this app running behind the scenes. I will be a lifetime customer. Hope to see the speed up editing option back!

Tremendously fast & for the most-part, high quality edits! I’ve had a few I had to resubmit due to complete misses, so I wish that process was a bit more customer friendly & that I didn’t have to pay again for a replacement edit. But overall, great service!

Totally worth every penny. This app takes all the work out of it and you end up with perfect photos that look exactly how you imagined them in your head and not only that, but they're also extremely realistic as well.

well this is not a free app, there is a 99 cent renewable option for 20 retouches. I bit the bullet, bought, and glad I did. As a plus, the retouch was easy to use and natural looking not overdone

I really love retouch me because the designer just gives me a glow up and the work never looks embellished or not me, sometimes in life we just need a tweak.
