Can Curved Verticals Be Corrected Reasonably Easily In FCP ?
A friend (and NO it is not me!) has shot some footage using a screw-on wide-angle lens.
This of course has resulted in distortion causing vertical lines near the edge of the frame to bend.
Is there a reasonably simple way of correcting this using FCP ? Somebody did suggest trying After Effects but as he does not know how to use it, it wasn’t very helpful !
I strongly suspect the short answer will be a two-letter word but am hoping for a three-letter one – together of course with some explanations!

Thanks Richard.
I have tested it out on a “straight” converging vertical of my own and whilst it can improve the slant it tends to mess up the rest of the picture – so I think I will advise him to live with the distortion and be careful where he uses the W/A lens in future !
