Hi guys,

I just went on a short trip, and shot a few random shots using my Canon Eos M. Upon returning I discovered RAW mode was turned off the whole time (was wondering why I could shoot such lengthy footage, but didn't pay too much attention to it). Anyway, that is what it is. The problem I'm encountering now though, is that there are a bunch of Focus Pixels on my regular .mov footage (since I was still running ML, just not the raw video module). I can't import the footage into the MLV app since these aren't MLV files, so there's no way to try and get rid of these pixels that way.

Does anyone have any solutions/ ideas on how to get rid of these pixels on regular video footage?

Thanks

Actually, boxblur filter with ffmpeg seems to do a decent job removing chroma issues. Tested with a clip:

Following command was used:
ffmpeg -i Input.mov -vf boxblur=cr=40 Output.mov

Orignal:

If you upload a sample file we could test it against the filter directly.



EDIT: this too might work after some testing:
-vf boxblur=4:2
Added some sharpen back:
-vf boxblur=4:2,unsharp=9:9:4.0:9:9:0

Also notice how it ruins all the colourful details on the flowery texture. It looks terrible :/

Maybe you could mask out any areas that are affected badly by the filter.

Last syntax is better. Keeps the colors but a bit softer. Quick fix really. Would be nice with a mov sample from the author.

Tested some more over here and it´s not good enough as a solution. I guess one could try and rewrite coordinates in a pixelmap file with ffmpeg delogo file. Starting something like this:
ffmpeg -i input.mov \
-vf "delogo=x=405:y=768:w=2:h=2",\
"delogo=x=410:y=772:w=2:h=2",\
"delogo=x=415:y=778:w=2:h=2" output.mov

But, a lot of job for probably half decent output...

But there's no way to basically do it the same way 'MLV app' would do it, but then without using RAW (MLV) footage?

A1ex be able and fix this I'm sure but otherwise some heavy pixelmapping could do the trick(which is the way it's done now).

Hey, sorry for the late respons. I've been crazy busy, and it slipped my mind.

Thanks for looking into it. I'm pretty handy with technology in comparison to the average Joe, but this kinda stuff is way over my head. Thanks for trying to help me though.

Have a good weekend!
