Shapening an image
Hi
I have just had my first back focus tragi-drama resulting in some out of focus footage. Anyone what the best way fo sharpening the image is in FCP? What are the chances of success?
Fortunately it is one camera out of a 3 camera shoot and this is the wide shot, but it still needs a make over!
Thanks
Trevor

Sorry about your footage!
I had to rescue some tragic archive a couple of weeks back. I found that the sharpen tools overall produced too many ugly artifacts so…
I roughly masked the foreground / important foreground and sharpened it and slightly defocussed the background. With a bit of colour correction to improve the contrast, it was improved a fair wack, and the soft focus didn’t leap out at you any more – or at least your eye stayed on the right part of the scene…
Hope that helps – tell me if you want more how to detail.
