  filter for out of focus

  Vegas sharpening filter seems to help a bit….
  any other plug in or advice to “fix” some out of focus shoots?

  regards

  If you are willing to spend the time, you can export the clip as frames. Take one frame into Photoshop and use Smartsharpen and whatever tricks you know for improving focus in Photoshop (i.e., just sharpen the focus in the luminance channel). Then batch process all the frames using the same techniques. Re-import the frames into Vegas as a clip (File>import media) and hopefully that will do a better job than the unsharp mask filter alone in Vegas. However, there are limits to any improvement in focus in post.

  Good luck,
