I know this is gonna sound stupid coming from me (he who's been accused of having overexposed and too bright of lights). but you REALLY gotta do something about the lighting in your videos. They're overexposed horribly and the glow that it produces really is unpleasant to watch. I noticed it a lot in your recent AOE reviews and that used a black background. Using a white one in this one, intensifies the problem.

Oh i don't have a problem with you using the black background. It's a personal preference that i understand. It's the settings for your lighting, exposure, aperture...something that is making things look off regardless of the background you use. When the lighting settings are that out of whack though, white makes it even worse because white reflects light, while black absorbs it. So using white, if you're using too much light or your exposure is high, it makes things look even worse. It's more noticeable with the white background. But i could see it in your others as well. The colors all seemed to have a glow to them, your hands had it too.

Yeah my lighting set up has stayed the same but the background has gone from card and black velvet to cotton and like you said it's messaging the white balance and exposure up... Downloaded a new software pack since u said about the problem earlier so that should allow correction , also getting a lense filter as the new lense is getting a heck of a lot of flare and glow... As for me glowing , I blame the nuclear reactor we work near
