Hi there. Is there any way of getting rid of flood lights reflecting off of someone's glasses? I have interviewed someone who wears glasses and now that I can't redo the interview, I'm faced with trying to come up with an answer to this reflection problem. Is there any kind of "photo shop" button in iMovie or something I can use in iMovie that can help minimize flood light glare on glasses?
Thanks for any help.

Hi
No - that's why one must be very observant when recording. And during recording one can use a polariod filter on the lens to minimise this effect but to be repaired in after hand is only for pro's with FinalCut Pro and Motion and other elaborative tools - still far far from easy to deal with.
To fix glases one need a PhotoShop like tool and key-framing each frame for movements so that the correcting filter follow exactly - else it will be very disturbing - much more than the reflexes in first hand.
Most common way to minimiseing this problem is to
• use cut-aways - replace picture with any other relevant to the story while keeping audio continuing.

There are several controls you can try on the Video tab of the clip inspector. There is even an "Auto" button there that will try to optimize the settings automatically. However, these controls will impact the whole video frame. You cannot control just the part of the screen that has the glasses. For that, you need Final Cut Pro, and a lot of patience, as Bengt mentioned.
