I have static grain in an interview shot of a guy against the sky.
Classic problem I know I should have known better but I didn't see it even in my 8" panasonic monitor.
Any ideas for how to fix it in post on a Mac?
Shot in HDV on a canon. I have Final Cut Studio 6.04 and an old version of after affects that I've never learned to sue.
I have tried to mask off the sky using a secondary color correction for a key and then applied a gaussian blur to that. It helps but I'd like to do better. I don't want to blur out the subject as that's already too soft.
I'd love to get rid of it all over the image, but if I can fix only the sky it would be a big improvement. Fortunately in the shot the whole background is far away so it is all much softer than the subject.
