I’ll build on Matte’s comments by suggesting that you “tune” your filter by adjusting the frequency control so it removes as much of the noise as possible. Sometimes the noise isn’t exactly 60Hz.
Using the Hum Remove filter, adjust the Gain to a minus number to start removing some of the noise. Start with -15. Don’t worry how this affects the overall sound of your track just now. You’ll tweak later. Now slide the Freq control to get the most noise removal. Adjust the Gain control up or down to get the best sounding result. Don’t spend too much time on this right now.
The other control parameter to adjust is Q. This tells the filter how wide a range of frequencies around the center frequency (the one you just found) to remove. The wider the Q, the more of the “good” signal you’ll remove. Adjust the Q to be the narrowest it can be and still remove the noise.
At the bottom of the filter controls you’ll see a bunch of Harmonic check boxes. Harmonics are multiples of an original or fundamental frequency. Most hums aren’t just the fundamental. They are comprised of a number of harmonics added to the fundamental as well. The frequency you first chose by adjusting the Freq control is the fundamental. You want to choose as many Harmonic check boxes as make a difference in the noise removal. Choose at least the 2nd and 3rd harmonic.
After you’ve done this, tweak the Gain and Q to get the final result. Understand that it rare you will totally eliminate the noise and leave the original track unaffected. There’s a lot of trial and error in noise removal. There are third party plugins like Soundsoap that can do a better job than the Hum Remove filter, but they have their own issues, too.
Hope this helps.

Check out Adobe’s tutorial pages: https://studio.adobe.com/us/search/main.jsp
There are a number of them on motion tracking.

If you have FCP here are some morph plugins: https://www.chv-plugins.com/morph.html They have two examples on their demo page.

I’m not sure (as we haven’t yet installed them) if either the new control panel or V2 driver addresses this issue. However, your editing app should allow all the picture control you need. In FCP there is a Proc Amp plugin, as well as a couple of color correctors that can do the job. There are on-screen indicators of illegal chroma and gain as well as vector and waveform scopes on the capture input and while playing clips. We capture 8-bit uncompressed from BetaSP and use the deck’s TBC to adjust video parameters. We also have external Tek waveform and vectorscope monitors (which match right up to FCP’s scopres). Typically, we adjust to bars on the source tapes and tweak inside FCP. This way if we ever have to go back and re-capture footage we get the best match as all the adjustments are saved with the edl.

I don’t think reverb is the way to go. Outside (except yelling at the Grand Canyon) there is no reverberation – nothing for the sound to bounce off. IMO two things will help. 1 – Be sure you have exterior room tone or ambience under your dialogue. This should have been recorded during the original shoot. 2 – EQ the sound to match exising dialogue. If you know how the original dialogue was recorded (with boom mic, lavs, etc.) you can try to match that. Play around with the low end first. That’s usually the area that different mics and mic techniques affect most. Then work with the high end. Listen. If you hear too much high end compared to the original dialogue, roll it off. There’s no fixed way to do this. It’s trial and error. Trust your ears.

Does this driver enable the IO to work with Soundtrack Pro?
