If you can’t fix it with just fields
then Combustion has Re:Flex
so a short morph may help

for clone and paint capabilities you might want to look at Re:Fill or Clone at
https://www.revisionfx.com/rfil.htm or https://www.chv-plugins.com/clone.html respectively
both work in FCP 2

Howie,

What tape format did you record in?

Betacam, DV, digi beta, dvcpro? What was the camera model you used in the field?

Have you confirmed that it was the field recorder which caused the problem or is there a chance your playback vtr has damaged the tapes?

Items to check on your playback vtr

1)Manually clean the playback vtr heads and tape path using 98% alcohol and head cleaning cloth.
2)Make sure the pitch roller is not shiny if it is this may indicated need to replace it

You must confirm where the problem occurred during recording or upon playback to avoid future damage to tapes.

Thank you for the tips. I only have a VHS copy of the footage. It would appear that the hits are on that tape.
