Does anyone know of (or have currently in their posession) a fish-eye correction plugin or preset for Premiere?

I have heard there is software and different lenses that correct this, but I am sure someone has played with "distort"

to create a preset for their GoPro footage. Any bones to throw?

    That does seem to be at least something Premiere Pro orientated. Thx. Did you save a preset or anything you could upload?


    No preset, but it's a single adjustment so you should be able to get it working quickly

    In Premiere i could not fix it but After Effects has the Optics Compensation that works wonderfull well with the GoProHD.

    Although you lose a bit of quality.

    For 1080 set it to about 60-65 and for 720 80-85.

    Lens Distortion set to reverse.

    Hmmm, that really does work, but you're right aobut the loss of quality. Perhaps a better route would be just to purchase the non-fish lens.

    Still though, I know you can add a fisheye effect in Premiere, so I know you can take it away as well...

    Another solution is to just film underwater. No lens distortion.

    Check out the Optics Compensation effect in After Effects.

    Yeah, I am familiar with other product solutions... but I want to make the best use out of the stuff I alreay have.

    I have seen and heard of some "distort" Premiere fuctions used to correct fisheye, I just need someone to tell

    me where to find a preset... or better yet... link one!
