Hi,
I have a Sony NEX-5N camera and one of my favorite lens is a fisheye. With my photo software I am able to "defish" (flaten the circular effect of a fisheye). I also notice on the Web that GoPro* software is capable of defish a video, which is normal since GoPro* cameras have fisheye lens!

I have PowerDirector 9 and I was wondering if the software would be capable to defish the videos I have shoot with my fisheye lens?

Can anyone answer? If not, is the new version of PD (11) able to do it? If not, except for GoPro* and Premiere*, do you know any software capable of this effect?

Thanks

No answer?

So, will have to presume PD9 (or later) are incapable to defish!

Thanks anyway!

Good Morning!

Power Director 10 and 11 have the capability for "Lens Correction" if you purchase and add the New Blue Video Essentials Plugins. They are available to download from within Power Director in the effects Room. Select the preinstalled New Blue Effects in the Effects Room then select "Download NewBlue Effects. There are Three groups available, NewBlue Essentials I, II and III. Pricing options are displayed.

For your specific question, "Lens Correction is located in NewBlue Essentials II. I have attached a screenshot of the "Help" file explaining what this plugin does. With the plugin you should be able to correct the Fisheye.

I hope this helps.
