Hello all,
I have a video that was filmed under bad lighting conditions, the
background is too bright and people in the foreground are dark. I'm
trying to use ffmpeg to correct it. Please kindly help me.

For video processing like this you best use the haldclut filter, which is a 3D color-look-up-table.The workflow is as follows.

Step 1:
Extract one frame from your video and add a color-look-up-table to it. -ss 0.5 is the time where the frame is extracted from the video. ffmpeg -ss 0.5 -i video1.mts -f lavfi -i haldclutsrc=8 -filter_complex "[1]format=pix_fmts=rgb24[a];[a][0]xstack=inputs=2:layout=0_0|w0_0" -frames 1 -y image_with_clut.png

Step 2:
Open the image_with_clut.png with a image processing program of your choice, for example IrfanView or Gimp. Edit brightness, contrast, gamma, saturation and hue. You can also adjust the curves. In your example, especially a high gamma value is required, and a little bit more saturation. Then save the image using the same filename. Of course, all modifications must be applied to the whole image consisting of the video frame and the clut. Filters like noise reduction, sharpening or sofening are not allowed.

Step 3:
Cut away the video frame, so that only the 512x512 clut remains:
ffmpeg -i image_with_clut.png -vf crop=512:512:0:0 -y clut.png

Step 4:
Apply the clut to your video with the haldclut filter:
ffmpeg -i video1.mts -i clut.png -filter_complex haldclut -y out.mts
