GO PRO Fisheye

Is there a way to remove the fisheye effect you get with gopro camera in Videostudio X7?

Hi

Yes of course you simply remove the lens before recording.

As far as I know there is no automatic way of removing that effect, I don’t have a Fish Eye lens so cannot test.
Depending on how distorted the video is, you may be able to distort the video by dragging the edges towards the middle.
I doubt that you will ever get it prefect, I think 16:9 will look more like 4:3 .

Double click the clip in the top track, opens the options panel, choose Distort, drag the clip in the preview screen.

Using the Overlay Track will allow the same and also skew the edges using the green corners
Right click the preview screen for anchor / size options.

Good luck

The only freeware that does this is GoPro's own "Studio". But proDAD makes two programs -- which are not particularly cheap -- which do a marvellous job. I bought its proDrenalin a couple of years ago, and it includes a fish-eye remover effect, as well as other things which work well with Hero footage. More recently, proDAD issued a specific "Defishr" (spelt that way!) program, though I have not bothered to buy it since I already had proDrenalin. But proDAD makes excellent programs, so I imagine it would work very well. See http://www.prodad.com/home,l-us.xhtml
