# Repairing brightness problems caused by auto lighting optimizer

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-12-09)

I've shot a video with my Canon EOS 1100D, but unfortunately forgot to turn the auto lighting optimizer off.

Now the video footage looks really bad because there are random changes of brightness every time the colours change, similar to the changes [seen in this video](http://vimeo.com/20932557), only that it's even worse for me.

Is there a way to repair the footage and adapt the brightness so that it is equally the same throughout the video? Or is my footage lost?

Keyframing and changing the brightness & contrast would be the last possible option, but it's certainly far from perfect and very much work.
