Good news…a very clever German fella by the name of Jorgen Escher<\/a> has in the space of just 48 written a final cut plug in that deals with the horrible micro moire pattern that you an see in hair and other fine patterned objects. Martin Beek<\/a> wrote to me a few days about the problem he was having with test footage for a feature with the 5DmkII being turned down by the producers due to the patterning in the hair. I didn’t have a solution for him but Jorgen took on the challenge and wrote the plug in that solves it. It adds a user defined chroma blur and can also do overall softening which will remove problems parts. If it is just a part of the frame, simply create a mask and use this plug in on just that part.<\/p>\n

It works. It doesn’t work on big aliasing problems or things like brick wall moire but it’s pretty damn good and I will be going back over some of my old work and touching it up with this.<\/p>\n

So well done Jorgen for the plug in (please donate $10!<\/strong>) and to Martin for providing the inspiration. All this from twitter. You gotta love it! Jorgen on twitter is @colorbyjorg<\/a><\/p>\n
