    Hi, I have used smoothcam on a footage to keeping the image centered and it caused it BUZZ out of focus for a few frames. So when I play back the clip, it is centered, but it goes out of focus for 5-6 seconds when the shoot was supposed to be shaked. The footage have a problem of tilting and it’s a medium close up, for 5-6 seconds, when the shoot was supposed to be shaked I have a problem of out of focus on the actress face.

    How can I fix this?

    Sorry for my english, I don’t speak it too well. Thank you everyone.

    Your seeing the motion blur caused by the camera movement, but without the move. You can try something like Re:Vision’s ReelSmart Motion Blur to remove the blur selectively.

    Hi,

    thank you John for the answer. I used RSMB to remove the blur and the footage is improved in FCP, but I have another problem with the export.
    I created a DVD with Compressor with MPEG – 2 6.2 Mbps and the scene with the blur removed seems to be shaky like an earthquake. I just used RSMB with blur amount -2 for main_bg and fg1 without track points…I don’t know if this is the problem (cause I don’t know how to use this filter at the end…)

    How can I fix this?

    sorry again for my awful english.
