Wow – quick response Dave, thanks!

I was using the deartifacter in Magic Bullet, but it wasn’t seeming to make much difference on this footage. I added the pre-blur which did help in some areas! I think that your idea for throwing some flecks into the background is also a good idea. Fortunately for me the footage is fairly quick moving, so when I push the motion-blur, it tends to hide some of those icky DV artifacts…

btw – I checked into DV Matte Pro, but it doesn’t seem to be made for AE7 and I don’t have FCP… 😛

Thanks for your expert help in the matter! Much appreciated!
