There are several video effect filters that you might use to achieve a crushed-black or blown-out-whites effect. A couple you might try are the Brightness and Contrast filter and the Levels filter. For example, add a Brightness and Contrast filter and raise the Contrast slider slowly. As you do, youll begin to both crush the blacks and blow out the whites and you can see that you begin to lose detail in both. The Black Restore filter gives you control over just the blacks and as you raise the Threshold slider you can see the detail of the blacks begin to disappear. Also try the Gain and Offset controls in both the Color Corrector and Color Corrector (Secondary) filters and the White Soft Glow preset in the Glow filter. You can also achieve non-clipping contrast stretches using Color Curves with an S-curve.
