    Is there a fish eye corrector filter in premiere? I have gopro footage that I want to correct – I’m sure this is a very common issue.

    thanks!

    Have you tried the Lens Distortion filter with a minus setting? I think that should do the trick. Here’s a quick tutorial on it:

    Joe – I saw that video before, I have the latest CS6 and I don’t have that lens distortion filter.

    Alex –

    I just looked in my copy of PPro CS6, and it’s right there in the Effects Panel under Video Effects/Distort/Lens Distortion. I don’t know why you wouldn’t have it in your install as well.

    Anyway, here’s a script which should do the job for you if you can’t find it in your PPro copy:

    Hi Joseph – I don’t have it in mine….what could it be?
    could it be an aftermarket plug in?

    Whoops – I answered in the wrong post – above…

    The Lens Distortion effects is a Windows only effect, so if you’re on a Mac, you’ll have to use a third-party solution. Otherwise, it should be there…

    Mac has far less effects then windows for Premiere.
    You can do this is AE:

    Optics Compensation

    For 1080 set it to about 60-65 and for 720 80-85.

    Lens Distortion set to reverse.

    This reply is pretty late but GoPro has their own software for doing some minor stuff to their footage https://gopro.com/software-app/gopro-studio-edit-software

    It has the option to de-fisheye and since it’s their software they know the exact amount of distortion to apply so its a checkmark that is applied and then you can export the footage.

    Prodad’s Prodrenalin is really good (Windows only)
