Sharpen
My footage looks kind of blurry.. I know this is because of the lightconditions was bad when I did the recording.. Is it a way to sharpen it?

The Sharpen FX will sharpen video but if it was caused by poor lighting you might want to first try the Levels FX or Color Curves FX to bring the lighting back to normal. Use the Waveform Monitor and Histogram on the Video Scopes to help see what’s going on and where the correction is needed.

Thanx alot for your help. Do you usually use sharpen fx on all your footage, or is it a reason to not use it?

I hardly ever use sharpen. Only if I’m uprezing SD to HD or if there is partiularly blurry footage. Otherwise I use Levels, Color Corrector, and Color Curves (in that order) as my primary correction tools. Of course, shooting well exposed, well focused video in the first place is the primary goal but not all situations allow for that.
