Dirty Lens
Hello,
I just got a job doing color correcting on a short, shot on a DVX100. And there is a spot on the lens. It’s about as big as a erasure head in the lower right corner. The first time I saw it, barley noticed. But know it seems to jump out at me. The video was shot hand-held, so the camera moves a lot.I am wondering it this is can be fixed. And what tool to use. Aftereffects, Final Touch? Do they have the same motion tracking abities? humm.
Thanks for any input!

Combustion would be my tool of choice… I’d try bluring the spot with a feathered edge if I were you. Last year I had to use some stock footage acquired from CBS, which was only availble with their bug, and they made the provision that we had to remove it. We put an eliptical blur on with the feather I mentioned, and it worked very well. That CBS bug was much more prominent than your lens spot I’d assume…
Hope this helps…

Thanks David!
A blur huh? Now I’m wondering if I could just do it in FinalCut. Stack the image and crop the top layer to the black dot and blur it? What do you think?

Give it a shot…

Commotion has the ability to clone portions of previous or following frames. If the handheld shot is moving enough it might be possible to cover up the spot with cloned areas from nearby frames.
It would require tracking the spot.
