  sharpening

  Posted by Joe Orange on November 26, 2009 at 3:56 am

  Unless I’m looking in the wrong places, there doesn’t seem a whole lot out there on if, where and how to sharpen up footage.
  The only place I’ve come across the option to sharpen is via Filters when going through Export – but avoided it as it does seem a bit crude and basic

  As ever, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi Joe,
  In FC you have a “Sharpen” filter.
  I think you must be very careful when applying this effect. You need to monitor very carefully how it affects the picture. I think that the results may depends very much of the “robustness’ of your footage.
  Best,
  Rafael

  Thanks. I obviously didn’t look hard enough in the most obvious of places.

  These are R3D clips I want to sharpen, which I guess are pretty robust.
  Being captured digitally, are they similar to digital stills in that they will always require some degree of sharpening and if so what amounts would be considered reasonable or is it a case of what you tweak is what you get.

  Thanks

  You may also try the Sharpen in Motion or in Color.
  Cheers,
