Dead Pixel Fixer (Studio Version Only)
If you have clips that were shot on a camera with one or more “dead” or “stuck” pixels in the
sensor, you may have black or white spots that are fixed in place in the image. This filter is
designed to let you place crosshairs on each dead or stuck pixel, identifying them so you can
use different methods of fixing the problem.
To fix dead or stuck pixels, apply the Dead Pixel Fixer filter, make sure the OFX onscreen
controls are enabled in the viewer, and then click on each pixel you need to fix with the mouse
to place crosshairs on it. You can click anywhere on the image to place as many crosshairs as
you like, there’s no limit. You can also Option-click to delete crosshairs you no longer need. To
move any crosshairs, simply drag it to another location.
Multiple dead pixel removal targets
When you place multiple crosshairs, you can click to select whichever crosshairs you want to
adjust the controls for. Each crosshairs can have different control settings, or you can select
multiple crosshairs by Command-clicking all the ones you want to adjust.
Remover-Patch Properties
These controls let you adjust the operation of selected crosshairs you’ve placed in the Viewer.
 Fill-in Method: This pop-up menu provides two methods of fixing problem pixels:
“Blend from surround” and “Clone from Elsewhere.” Blend from surround is the default,
which automatically blends surrounding pixels to eliminate the problem. Clone from
Elsewhere exposes a second sample control that you can drag onto an adjacent part of
the picture to clone pixels to fix the problem.
 Remover size: This slider lets you change the size of the region you’re fixing.
 Soften: Lets you switch between a hard (value of 0) or soft (value of 3) edge.
 Points: A parameter without any controls, save for keyframing, lets you animate the
selected remover patch by keyframing it.
Control Visibility
The Control Visibility pop-up menu lets you choose whether the source and target onscreen
controls are visible as you work. Show (the default) leaves all onscreen controls visible all the
time. Auto Hide hides all onscreen controls whenever you’re dragging one, letting you see the
image as you adjust it without having these controls in the way. Hide makes all onscreen
controls invisible, so you can see a clean version of the image with the effect, however you can
still edit the effect if you remember where the controls are.
