Dead Pixel Fixer

If your scanner has one or more 'dead' or 'stuck' pixels in the sensor, you may have black or
white spots that are not moving in the image. This filter is designed to let you place patches on
each dead or stuck pixel, identifying them so you can use different methods of fixing
the problem.
In many respects, the Dead Pixel Fixer is similar to the Dust Buster, however the Dust Buster
effect is designed to repair transient bits of dust and dirt that only last for a frame or two,
whereas the Dead Pixel Fixer is designed to work on blemishes that are fixed in place for the
duration of a clip.
To fix dead or stuck pixels, apply the Dead Pixel Fixer filter, make sure the OFX onscreen
controls are enabled in the viewer, and then click on each pixel you need to fix with the mouse
to place a patch on it. You can click anywhere on the image to place as many patches as you

any patches, simply drag it to another location.
Multiple dead pixel removal patches

the controls for. Each patch can have different control settings.
