Removing Red-Eye from video - Need tips.

Folks, I am dealing with some HD content that has a lot of red eye in it. While it's common to find filters for this in photo apps, what can be done in Final Cut Pro? This doesn't seem to be as simple with video. I can't seem to find much on the issue other than color correcting each shot.

Red eye is the result of a light source on axis with the lens of the camera illuminating is the back of the eye through the cornea. You can only do this with video if you have the light on the cam (so it moves with the camera) or directly behind the cam if the shot is locked off.
I suppose you could open up Color or use the 3 way CC in FCP and isolate on the red (limit effect) and map it to black or grey. If there are other reds in the scene, you'll need to mask the correct areas.
Never done this but don't see a reason why it couldn't work.

  • How to remove red eye from you video with adobe premiere elements?

    I would be greatful if someone could let me know how to remove red eye from a video, which I will be using for my acting reel. Thank you!

    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Do you have an integrated set of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements (such as 10/10, 11/11)?
    How long is this person with the red eye viewed?
    There are two possibilities that I can think of, but I would have to work it through with the actual footage and adapt accordingly.
    1. Keying and color correction.
    2. In Premiere Elements, do a freeze frame (in Freeze Frame dialog, Edit in Photoshop Elements after Insertion + Insert in Movie Option + adjustment of duration of the Freeze Frame bmp).
    In Photoshop Elements, Red Eye Tool if possible or other color correction tool there.
    How did you ever get red eye in video?

  • Can I remove red eye in Final Cut Pro X?

    I've imported over a thousand pictures from iPhoto of my trip to California, and was wondering if I could remove red eye from photos without having to go back to iPhoto, fix the red eye, then reimport.

    OK, I thought he was saying that since consumer apps already do it, a professional app has to have the feature. Anyways, I guess I'll just have to reimport it.
    Many of the Pro users are (rightly IMO) very ticked off with FCP X as it no longer supports many important Pro features that they use daily and is currently unsuitable for use by many for commercial/professional work.
    (For hobbyists/amateurs, myself included, it will probably do very nicely as a step up from basic video editors available on the Mac and at a fraction of the price of the old suite which I couldn't justify buying).

  • Why when I edit a picture with photo to remove red eyes an then open in Snapseed red eyes are still there?

    Hi
    Firstofall I must excuse for my really bad English
    I have ann iPad 2 updated with IOS 5.0.1.  I use camaraderie connection kit to import photos from the SD memory card.  Then I browse them with the default photo app, and I make some corrections like removing red eyes effect.  Then if I open the corrected photo with Snapseed the red eyes appear again.  I have tried many times and I am sure that I save changes.  If I browse the photos again I see it correctly.  It is like corrections are not really stored in the picture but Ina sidecar file.
    Thanks in advance!!!!

    Thanks for your answer razmee209!!
    Yes, and it shows the picture with corrections..  This is what is strange to me.
    I'm amateur photographer and on computer I use Adobe Lightroom.  There when a edition is made, changes are not stored in the original file, but written in a separate xmp file or in the catalog.  So if you try to open an edited photo you cannot see corrections.  To get the corrected file in another app you need to export the photo, this is create a new file with the correncions applied in it.  For me it seems like photo app in IOS work like that.

  • Removing camera flash from video

    Is there a way to remove camera flash from video clips within PE8?  If not natively, is there a plugin that can do this?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Here are the best answers that I can offer:
    1) why do you go from Premiere Pro to Premiere Elements?
    Actually, about 90% of my work is in PrPro. The rest is in AfterEffects, PrE and other NLE programs. Basically, I use those, including PrE, when they do something better than PrPro. PrE will accept a broader range of formats/CODEC's, than will PrPro, so I use it to Import those odd Assets, and get them ready for PrPro. Same with CyberLink's PowerDirector, and Magix MovieEdit Pro.
    2) How do you synch the audio and video  (I'm guessing that you record off-camera).  I synch it by eye and ear and it can be tedious.  I don't have time code synchronized equipment
    Most of my shooting is actually done with camera audio capture, though usually through either a shotgun, or wireless mics, attached to and recording to the camera's tape. When I do separate audio & video capture, I slate, so that I have the visual and audio sync. When I am faced with having to do manual sync, I will look for the visual and then the accompanying audio, and just nudge and listen. This ARTICLE will give you some of the mechanics of the process.
    3) I don't know much about DD 5.1 SS and this is just from the point of curiosity at present, can it be a problem keeping long clips in sync?
    I do not record to DD 5.1 SS, as that is a very expensive and technically challenging process. It takes six well-designed and well-placed mics, a multi-channel recorder and a mixing panel, run by a skilled tech. My DD 5.1 SS Audio is with regard to the music for my Projects. Some of it is recorded as 6 discrete channels and then mixed, while some is faux 5.1 and is "created" from 2-channel source material.
    Much of the work from Hollywood is actually faux 5.1, in that the source material is seldom recorded in 5.1. Most is stereo and mono, and is blended from myriad sources. These can be SFX, dialog, ambient audio. Most of those are mono TO separate them out from any other audio sources. Narration is a good example. Few audio techs, would consider using a stereo mic for narration and would choose a very directional mono mic, so as to better reject other audio signals.
    Now, I can take a mono SFX file and pan/fade (not in the terms of a "fade" Transition, but front to rear location) it across/around the sound stage. I can place that bumblebee anywhere that I want, when I want it with 5.1 SS Audio. I'd almost always work with mono sources, so that I have the pure signal with no clues as to the source location - I set those in mixing.
    I must add that with regard to mixing of music, there are constraints on doing faux 5.1. If the material was not recorded on multiple tracks to begin with, the RIAA, and other organizations, greatly frowns on creating a 5.1 "master." That came after the failed quadrophonics experiments from the '70s/'80s. With Hollywood's music, the recording IS done multi-track in the studio/symphony hall, so it IS multi-track and just gets mixed down to 5.1 Audio. This will be about the only time that the audio is done multi-channel in recording, as few environments lend themselves to doing 5.1 during the initial recording. There are exceptions, like live concerts, but that is almost a genre unto itself.
    Sync, in and of itself, is not difficult to maintain, but so much depends on the recording equipment. Many, using separate cameras and recorders, often find that there is sync drift, and need to establish the % of "cure." In the old cine days, we hooked our camera to the Nagra recorder, and chose which unit's crystal clock would establish sync. Then, we had a cable between the two. Nowadays with digital, it seems a bit more difficult. There are several recent threads in the PrPro forum about the sync drift between pro-level cameras and recorders. One user has found that altering his recorder's output by 104% fixes the OOS issues. Others need to test critically. The sync clocks in different equipment just does not match up perfectly, and there is usually no universal crystal clock that overrides the internal ones - like in the "good old days."
    Hope that this helps. If I missed something, please let me know,

  • Removing red eye

    Can any one help me to remove red eye in photo uploaded using jsp

    Most red eye remooval programs are interactive and require the user to select a section of the picture that contains the red eye. If you can manage to find a red eye removal tool that can scan and identify red eye in a picture without user interaction and it contains a command line execution mode you could simply exec this tool and pass the uploaded file to the tool. My guess is finding such a tool may be difficult. Perhaps google can help you with this.

  • How to remove red eyes

    How do yoy remove red eyes with PS.

    I like to use a Hue/Saturation layer.  Use the RGB dropdown to select red, and lower the saturation. Invert the layer mask, and paint the effect back in with white.  Or use the Hue slider to change the red to something more pleasing, but there be monsters if you dare to take this route.

  • "Remove Red Eye" Sync?

    Hi,
    I'm using LR 1.3.1, with some JPEG files.
    The thing is this: The "Remove Red Eye" syncs no mather I don't check to be sync-ed -actually, there's no "check box" for sync "Remove Red Eye" inside the "Syncronize Settings" dialog-.
    I found that the "Remove Red Eye" sets syncronize when I press "Check all" inside the "Syncronize Settings" dialog.
    So I have to uncheck something so the "Remove Red Eye" doesn't sync.
    Help? Thanks!
    ... and Happy 2008!

    I say hidden, because if I press "Check None" in the "Synchronize Settings" dialog and then manually select every check box inside the "Synchronize Settings" dialog; the "Red Eye Removal" sets don't sync.

  • Remove red eye bug?

    I am using the latest verision of iphoto to edit some pictures and remove the red eye. I have done so in all but one picture that if I do it, it creates like a black eye under the persons eye.
    is this fixable?

    See if using this tip can help limit the red eye removal to just the pupil:
    How to Change the Size of the Retouch and Red-Eye Removal Tool
    Type Caps lockControl9
    Undo caps lock
    Click on the Retouch or Red-Eye Removal tool
    The tab key will toggle between cursor types, a cross or a circle
    The "[" and "]" keys decrease or increase the size accordingly.
    NOTE: Using the "{" "}" keys will will change the value next to the circle and that represents the degree of change or intensity that the tool imparts on each pass.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Trying to remove red pin from Maps, there is no button to remove it, folks . . .

    Have had my iphone 4 for eight months. Updated to iOS 5 recently. Didn't have this problem before but I am UNABLE to remove the red pin from Maps.
    Turned my phone off completely, and it seemed to remove the red pin on turning it back on. But this is not a convenient maneuver.  I was able to drop a purple pin and remove it. But once a red pin is down, THERE IS NOTHING THERE TO REMOVE IT. I'm certain that there is a bug here that needs to be fixed.
    Option 1 under  "Directions", tap on the red pin, tap on the blue arrowhead, tap "remove pin" - - - but there is no such button to "remove pin".
    Option 2, under "Directions", tap on "edit", I thought there used to be a blue "clear" button to remove everything, but there is none.
    Instead under "Directions", tap "edit", tap the grey circle with a "x" inside to remove the address, but it does not make it go away, and the red pin always comes back. The blue cancel button on upper left hand corner also does not remove the red pin.
    Please help. I already read multiple postings on this. I have not found the correct answer for my question. Thx.

    There's no way to remove it.  Either ignore it or update.

  • Removing green background from videos (Chromakeying)

    Hi,
    I am currently trying to use JMF to remove green background from the videos I have recorded. I am trying to merge 2 videos ( 1 video in the background) and (this video w/green bacground removed in the foreground). Does merge.java from JMF do the job for the second part? Please help!!

    Merging works only with one video sitting on top of another, but the top video positioned on the top left corner. Is there some way to have the top video positioned in the center? I am using the merge.java file from the JMF solutions. Any way to remove the green/blue background of a video using Java codes? Or is there a freeware tool to do so and then have the java program call it?
