Brightness Crush

Brightness Crush is an extreme contrast grade. Shadows pull to black, highlights clip to white, midtones reshape with gamma. Bright areas throw shaped glares (orb, star, or anamorphic streak), and haze lifts the shadows with warmth.

Tips

Start with a preset (Cinematic, Extreme, Soft Glow, Anamorphic) then fine-tune.
Drop the Glare Threshold to make more of the image glow; raise it to glow only the brightest spots.
Star glares read strongest on footage with isolated bright points (lights, reflections).
Anamorphic streaks sell the widescreen cinema look. Pair with letterbox.
