Lens Distortion Removal Presets GoPro Hero4

In Premiere Pro CC I have the following Lens Distortion Removal presets for GoPro:
- Hero2
- Hero3 Black
- Hero3+ Black
I have a GoPro Hero4 Silver. Where and how do I get the presets for that camera?

One option is to use the GoPro Studio software to transcode the GoPro source videos to .avi for PC or .mov for Mac, which makes editing much easier for many systems. With the added benefit of having a check box for Fisheye Removal, so clip is "ready to edit" in Premiere and not worry about it at that point.
Thanks

Lens Distortion Removal presets?

I have read that there are specific camera lens distortion removal presets coming to the new version of Premiere Pro CC 2014. I do not see them yet, is this still in development or can i download these presets somewhere on the website? I am looking for GoPro Hero 3 Black lens correction profile specifically.
Thanks!

Yes, I see them now! I had these filters blocking my preset folders options. Thank you Jim

Perspective correction and Lens distortion removal tools

Hi,
as a photographer who aspires to create pictures with best possible quality available to me I am very bothered that my primary image editing tool is lacking Perspective correction and Lens distortion removal tools. I believe that there should be no questions if such tools are necessity or so to speak additional enhancements. It is eating the disk space as well having multiple copies clutters the projects if these functions are available only via plug-ins or additional external tools.
How are you guys handling such issues?
For a moment I was thinking to convert all the files through Nikon Capture NX2 before importing to Aperture but that again is counter effective in long run. Aperture is built to work with Raw files and large tif files take longer to process between various programs and I would loose all the benefits of having Raw file at all.

It would be nice to have those functions added to the next version.
I always use the following page to select the product I want to provide feedback on:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Note - due to the number of lenses and cameras, this would be a huge task and the end result may not include a lot of older lenses which really need the correction.
I use PT Lens as a plug-in inside of Aperture for the most part (although I do have PS CS5 and DxO Pro 6 for situations where I want something different).
As you said, the downside is that you end up with a TIFF (from inside Aperture) or a processed file needing to be import into Aperture.

Lens distortion presets are missing in Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2

Lens distortion removal folder is missing completely. Can anyone suggest how to fix it? Perhaps there is a way to download those presets separately?

Jim, thanks for your reply. I'm talking about Lens distorition removal forder located in Presets. I believe that they are configs/presets for the Lens Distortion effect located in Distort folder under Video Effects. By the way, distort effects are available to me, but not the presets.
I've found out about the new presets at Lynda - http://www.lynda.com/Premiere-Pro-tutorials/Removing-GoPro-lens-distortion/126763/169090-4 .html
So, my question still stands.

Lightroom Bug: with GoPro Hero4 Silver Lens Profile, crop settings do not sync properly in Lightroom 5.7.1 when Constrain To Warp is checked

I was having a bit of difficultly in getting crop settings to properly sync in Lightroom 5.7.1 (running on OS X 10.10.1) when Constrain to Warp was checked. This appears to be a bug in the latest version(s) of Lightroom that include(s) the GoPro Hero4 Silver Lens Profile settings. I'm working with a lot of files from a GoPro Hero4 Silver camera shot in the time-lapse / interval timer mode. All of them are horizontal with the same resolution (and dimensions). I've tried various sequences to get this to work in terms of using Auto-Sync, resetting the settings on all images except one and then copy and pasting settings, etc, though the crop is not properly syncing regardless of what I do.
Here's are instructions of how to duplicate this issue (there are some extra details/steps here, though this should be clear enough to produce the same result):
     1. in the Develop settings for a single selected image, go to Lens Corrections, click to Enable Profile Corrections (in the Profile tab), and then pick the GoPro Hero4 Silver Edition (Adobe Profile) if it is not automatically chosen for you (if you are using files from a Hero4 Silver camera). After this, click on the Manual tab, and set the Scale setting to 76. (as you will see, you now have the full horizontal width of the image that was getting cropped off, though you do see white around the edges that have been warped/shaped to correct the fisheye distortion)
     2. Press the R key (or click on the Crop Overlay tool just below the histogram). Change the Aspect option to Custom. Click to unlock the lock next to it (this seems to re-lock after setting to custom even if it was locked before). Place a checkmark next to the Constrain To Warp option. (At this point, you'll see the image gets cropped back to an approximately 4:3 ratio and the full horizontal width is not included in the cropped area) Click the upper right most corner of the crop area and drag as much to the right and top as it lets you go. Do the same for the lower left corner, dragging it as far to the bottom left as you can go. (Now, you will see that your cropped area is the maximum rectangular width and height you can select without getting any of the excessive white area) Click the Close button (or press R again) to leave the crop overlay tool.
     3. Press G to go back to the grid of images. Make sure the image you just adjusted the settings for is the only one selected. Right click on it, go to Develop Settings, and click Copy Settings. Click Check All on the window that appears and then click Copy.
     4. De-select the image you were working on. Select multiple other images in the grid. Right click on one of these, go to Develop Settings, and click Paste Settings. (at this point, you will see their aspect ratio has become more panoramic than the 4:3 aspect ratio the images previously were)
     5. De-select these images. Select one of these image, and then press D to go to the Develop settings for this image. Press R to go to the Crop Overlay tool. Here you will see the bug where the crop was not properly copied over from the first image. The selected area is smaller than the full width and height available to crop.
It seems that the bug is that Lightroom is only copying the aspect ratio (and the other settings), but not the actual crop selection.
I just thought of a workaround that I've tested and can confirm works (and will also work in a slightly different workflow than above). In step 1 above, for the Model (and Profile), manually pick the "GoPro Hero4 Black Edition" or the "GoPro Hero3-Silver Edition". If using the "Hero3-Silver" setting, the Scale (also in step 1 above) need only be set to 79 (rather than 76 for the Hero4 profiles). By picking one of these Lens Profiles and doing everything else the same as the other steps above, the crop settings do copy and paste properly. This does also appear to work properly when selecting the "GoPro Hero3-White Edition" Lens Profile, with a Scale setting of 75, which yields a slightly more rectilinear image (with a wider aspect ratio -- almost, but not quite 16:9).
While this isn't too big of deal as it does work by picking one of the other lens profiles (and the Hero4 Black Edition profile appears to make the same exact correction to the image), this was incredibly frustrating last night to notice that some files had the proper horizontal field of view / crop and others didn't, and other users may experience this or not even notice their crop is not copied properly (as, depending on one's composition and image, it's not extremely obvious with such a wide view).
I hope this discovery helps someone else and provides feedback for Adobe to correct this issue in the next version of Lightroom 5.
On a separate, additional note for Adobe: Please allow the crop overlay tool to "crop" an image to a size that is larger than the original dimensions of the image. This would allow for one to retain maximum original sharpness in the center of the image when using the Lens Profile tool to correct, or "de-fish" a lens, without having to scale the image down with the Scale option on the Manual tab of the Lens Corrections settings. For example, when I do the above process selecting the Hero3-White Edition profile, my final image dimensions are 3840 by 2257 pixels, reducing the size of the image in the center by 25%. If the tool allowed one to crop/scale a larger image size, and I kept the Scale option of the Lens Corrections settings at 100 rather than 75, my final image dimensions would be 5120 by 3009 pixels (larger than the 4000 by 3000 pixel dimensions of the original image which the tool now limits me to). Yes, the edges would be a little softer but the center would retain the original detail. (this is essentially what the Calculate Optimal Size button found in the Hugin open source software does, when using it on a single image for lens transformations/corrections)

Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

Lens distortion preset is not there?

Running the latest version of premier CC and in effects under presets the lens distortion effect is no longer there? What happened?

HI Jon, Thank you. I wasn't aware of this. Next time I will try it. This time I ended up ininstalling the program and then reinstalling and it worked fine. For some reason the Lens distortion effects had entirely disappeared. Very strange? Now it's working fine. I will note your suggestion for next time.
Thanks for your help.

Lens distortion correction in Premiere CS6?

I'm trying to correct the distortion caused by a wide-angle lens in Premiere CS6. From what I can tell, there is no filter or transform / distort feature within Premiere itself. I followed the steps in this tutorial to open the MPEG4 in Photoshop, apply the lens correction filter, and then export the video again to be re-imported to Premiere. http://podcasts.creativecow.net/adobe-premiere-tutorials-podcast/correcting-lens-distortio n
However this tutorial is for CS5. I am seeing no adjustment or filter layer in my layers panel, as it appears in the tutorial. When I go to export the video, it seems the Adaptive Wide Angle filter or the Lens Correction filter has only applied to a single frame of the whole clip. Bummer.
Any other suggestions for fixing lens distortion in Premiere?
Thanks!

Both these replies are a bit rude and unhelpful. I am editing in Premiere, and I am not very familiar with it. The question is about how to fix lens distortion in Premiere. Maybe there's a way to do this that I'm not aware of...? That's why I asked the question! There's nothing about it that I could find in the forums. The only fix I found didn't work—which was to use Photoshop *integrated with Premiere*. And two people tell me to use AEFX without pointing me in any directions of how to do that. Useless.
Anyway, I found some information that *was* helpful. This tutorial demonstrates that one critical step was missing from the prior tutorial, which is to convert the video layer to a smart object before applying the effect:
http://www.protechreviewgroup.com/tutorialsinformation/tutorial-fisheye-correction-in-phot oshop-for-gopro-hero-hd/
The same person provided a tutorial on how to do this in AEFX:
http://www.protechreviewgroup.com/tutorialsinformation/tutorial-fisheye-lens-correction-in -after-effects-for-gopro-hero-hd/
Now that these steps are taken, I have to take the footage back into Premiere. It's a workflow question. Other video editing software has this kind of stuff built-in to the effects panel.

thanks for the suggestion....i've also found the error msg on restart about device......seems one of the external harddrives is either failing or has failed....am running tech tool on that and all blocks seem to be bad...will try a data recovery from data rescue and then see if i can repartition it. I've found that the reinstall of office 2004 was different this time....asked for serial number again (didn't last time) and that might be it. If it wasn't completely removed there might have been remnants left over......cross my fingers.

Lens Distortion defeats Opacity

I am running CS6 and am having the most peculiar problem. I have a GoPro Clip that is cut into a timeline of P2 footage. I have used the Lens Distortion Filter on the footage (and on a photoshop cutout as well in video track above it). I need to drop the opacity of the clip on Video 1 so that the photoshopped cutout from the video hangs in limbo. However, when I drop the opacity on video track 1 it does nothing until I disable the Lens Distortion filter. Then it works as advertised. Turn the Lens distortion filter back on and the opacity is 100% no matter what I do.
Can anyone confirm this or have a work around?

No, I'm on Windoze.
My work around was to cut in a section of black video on track 1 and dissolve to black, letting the still image on track 2 float over that. But that combo, ie. lens distortion and opacity, appears very buggy. Now this is one of the few 1920x1080 clips in a mostly 1280x1080 timeline (P2 is not square pixels), so that may be contributing..

Perspective/lens distortion correction

About the only thing I ever have to go out of LR2 to do is correct for perspective or for lens distortions (esp. on wide angle lenses). I know this might not be an easy thing to fit in the interface, but it'd be very useful. Especially if you can set it up to do a stored lens distortion correction for a given lens at a given focal lens (+ maybe focus distance).
-Lars

I hope y'all don't mind if I think aloud a little more here.
We've been talking about perspective correction and lens distortion correction as if they were just about the same. They aren't.
Lens distortion correction is a fairly complex warp, but one that is completely determined by the lens and focal length (please corect me if I'm wrong). The main use of it would be to correct for the lens defects, not to create an artistic effect (like CA repair). It could therefore very reasonably be done as a preparation step, as with the Olympus cameras that actually store some correction information. It would be of relatively low user value to be able to change it later, and it would be much harder to implement.
Perspective correction is most definitely a user-driven correction. Not only does LR not stand a chance of figuring out what to do automatically, there would also be many cases where you'd want to correct in one dimension but not another, correct somewhat less that 100%, or in other ways fiddle with the amount of correction. Fortunately, it is a much simpler correction, merely the application of a small transformative matrix. Unlike lens distortion correction, it doesn't turn circles into strange wobbly shapes, but merely into ovals.
Let's take a look at the local adjustments: Crop, rotate, red-eye, spot removal, graduated filter and adjustment brush.
Crop would be well-nigh impossible to mix in with lens distortion correction, another reason to have the correction applied first. With regards to perspective, it should behave more or less like it does towards rotation.
Rotation can actually be done internally using the same operations that perspective correction would, but should probably still be separate in the interface.
Red-eye and spot removal both operate on horizontal-vertical ovals (restricted ovals for spot removal). These would be awful with user-adjusted lens distortion correction, even more reason to have that be an initial step. Perspective correction would stretch them somewhat. What happens when the user makes a dust spot fix, then fixes the perspective, then attempts to adjust the dust spot fix? We end up with the same situation as with vignetting: That there are pre- and post-crop versions. This distinction would now have to extend to pre- and post- crop+rotate+perspective adjustments. Obviously, you'd also want to be able to spot remove based on the corrected image, and it'd be strange to have a tool that's bent. It may be necessary to separate out dust spot removal from "subject matter removal" (including red-eye), as dust spotting should always be before perspective correction.
Graduated filter was really the thing that convinced me that the two corrections need to be split. Applying lens distortion correction after graduated filter would lead to a bent 'horizon line', a very bad thing indeed. Fortunately, it would be fairly resistant to perspective correction, though not entirely: If the horizon does not follow the perspective correction axis, the outer lines ought to tilt together. Probably overkill, though.
We already have an example of a similar situation: Red-eye removal and rotating. Try making a red-eye correction, then rotating the picture sharply. The red-eye oval will stay in the same position, even though that moves it from where it was supposed to be. I guess graduated filters could behave similarly.
The adjustment brushes are probably the simplest: Since they're already amorphous shapes, they can "simply" be bent and distorted along with the corrections and still make as much sense afterwards. Except if you want to use them to correct lens errors, but I don't know how often you'd want to do that.
Perhaps distortion correction and pre-crop vignetting should belong together. They would certainly interact.
That's my $0.02 plus inflation.

Lens Distortion effect missing in Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I recently purchased a Phantom VIsion 2 and the recorded material needs a bit of a fisheye removal and I read on several forums it's best to use the lens distortion effect found in Effects- Distort in Adobe but it's not in my list, other effects are. Is there something I need to do to get these effects? I tried reactivating the products but all works fine except for this feature..

In CS6 I think its Windows only.
If you have AE you can use the Optics Compensation

Adobe Premiere Pro CC for mac - Lens Distortion

I do not have lens distortion option in video effects. Apparently this is not included in mac version of Premiere Pro CC. Where can I get this plugin? Or is there another way of doing this? Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thanks.

Take your Time Machine and rewind your system to before you installed CC. Problem solved. Specifically, rewind your HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe and user/Library/Application Support/Adobe folders and see if that fixes it. It fixed a wonky AE CS6 I had earlier this week (completely unrelated to CC)
Keep with CS6 until the first updates to CC roll out.
(And don't ever upgrade a critical app mid-project. I know you know that's a huge professional no-no. You had a system that worked just fine.)

Import failure - GoPro Hero4 4k30fps -"The file has no audio or video streams"

I am trying to import a 4k30fps video from a GoPro Hero4 Black and I get this message "The file has no audio or video streams"
I have tried importing in a number of different ways, does anyone have any help or advice?
I am using Windows 7 64 bit and Adobe Premiere 8.0.1 (21)
Thank you

Uninstalling and reinstalling a "Typical" Apple Quicktime installation seemed to fix the problem.

Digital Camera RAW Update 5.02 breaks Sony RX100 lens distortion correction (AGAIN!)

Just like with the Digital Camera RAW Update 4.08, the latest 5.02 update breaks the Sony RX100 lens distortion correction again. I'm reverted back to 5.01 until this is fixed.
From your Time Machine backup, restore the previous versions of
/System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle
/System/Library/CoreServices/RawCameraSupport.bundle

Yes, I noticed it too, but I wasn't certain it was 5.02 that did it as I sold my RX100 and haven't processes any files for a while. Then as part of the NR discussion here I looked at some old RX100 files, and the distortion correction now disappears. Unfortunately I can't really revert to 5.01 because I was waiting on the A7 support 5.02 brought.
Apple are aware of it, so hopefully the fix will be quick to arrive.
