Fixing Bad Pixels in Post
Forgive me if this issue has already been discussed. If so, please point me to the post and date of discussion – I am working with some raw camera footage that has a few bad pixels in it. Is there any way in post with PP or AE or with whatever program that will help “mask” bad pixels. Three of them are white and one is blue and the images behind the pixels are relatively stable (background does not change much). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If it were my camera, I would create a track matte with white pixels where the problem pixels are and black everywhere else. Make a copy of the clip, blur it a bit, move it one pixel to the left or right and apply the track matte. The slightly blured pixels to the left or right are what show instead of the dead pixels.

If these pixels are related to tape dropout and you have analog capture capabilities then recapture the problem clip through the analog outputs of the camera.
I recently had some bad drop outs on tape that were actually eliminated through the analog video outputs of my camera. I don’t know why this apparent error correction doesn’t happen through the firewire inputs.
