Dear frameworkers, I have another question. This one is specific to de-dusting scanned film footage (e.g. S-8mm) in a digital workflow (e.g. final cut pro).
Sometimes dust, hair and scratches are detrimental to the visual impression one tries to achieve. I have tried in the past to remove hair or other dust manually. This is, extracting the photogram from FCP, importing it into Photoshop, cleaning the photogram and re-importing that frame into the slot in the timeline where it was extracted from. This works in theory but in practice I sometmes ended up with that one photogram having a visible colour mismatch. I have not found a way to match the colour space of FCP and Photoshop, but must admit I haven't tried hard enough. I recently fiddled with another method. Importing a whole clip into photoshop. Photoshop CS5 extended can handle time-based images. Then it's pretty straightforward: locate the photogram and clean it in the image window as one would with a normal photograph. Then re-export the clip through Export -> Render Video. I have played a bit with it but never really tried it for a project. Does anyone have experience with this, or an even better method to share?
