<p>Use Lightroom's tonal exposure to match all images to a mid-range image by choosing that image first and individually; then select the rest. You need to treat the video as a series of images if you feel there's to much to adjust, you may want to break it into scenes since you wouldn't want bright outdoor scenes to be too dark and very dark scenes to be overly brightened. Even if you broke 60 minutes into 60 scenes it's not going to take an hour to fix.</p>

You can't reshoot, plug-ins won't work and you won't do it manually. What other options do you want? You could pay someone else to do it for you, I suppose. Beyond that, I'm not sure what else there is.
