DirtFiX

DirtFiX helps repair video dropouts, film dirt, and other transient defects in footage. It works by cloning a clean portion of a related field or frame to cover over the defect. Similar to the Scratch Removal feature found on some Avid systems, it has a unique combination of features:

  • Repair individual fields with ease. No opening and closing shapes; each keyframe is a patch. Back-to-back patches within an effect.
  • Subpixel shifting and resizing of the patch, to accurately compensate for camera or subject movement over time.
  • Apply as either a segment or transition effect, whichever is more convenient.

Advantages over other solutions:

  • No import/export of media to another application. Repair data stays within the sequence to allow for redigitization.
  • No additional video tracks needed, reducing trimming and EDL hassles.
  • Choose to patch with the matching clean portion of the previous field or frame, or another clean portion of the current field.
  • Outward feathering on patch for smooth blending.
  • Now only US $80!

DirtFiX is also compatible with older AVX 1.0 Macintosh Avid systems (such as Media Composer 7.x) for two-field media.
