What is DeFishr?

DeFishr is a tool that allows you to eliminate subsequently the Fisheye effect and correct the

perspective distortion, that occurs frequently when the footage has been captured with a bent

lens, for instance.

Therefore DeFishr is a very important tool for optimizing of valuable takes, particularly those that

have been captured with Action cameras or using extreme wide-angle lenses.

DeFishr contains various camera profiles that help you correct the Fisheye effect. It also allows

you to create an own profile for your camera. This is relevant when you can't find your camera on

the profile list or when you are not satisfied with the results of the profiles. You can calibrate your

footage directly in the program using the Calibrator. The filming of the Calibration Grid and the

following analysis process the profile which is necessary for the correction.

Defishr in Detail

Using DeFishr for the first time and User Surface

You can start DeFishr via Shortcut on your desktop

or via Start/Program/proDAD/DeFishr.

When you start DeFishr for the first time, you will be asked to enter a Code (Serial Number) to

activate the program. In case that you purchased the download version, enter the Code which you

received along with the download instructions email. In case that you purchased the DVD version,

you'll find the code inside the box. Click Unlock. If you want to test DeFishr in the DEMO-Mode,

click Continue with Demo Version. The Demo version is activated until you enter the serial

number. By entering the serial number you obtain the licence that converts it into the full version.

DeFishr starts with the Start Register activated.

Firstly, import your video. You can also start the Playback of the original video (via Control) in the

DeFishr Preview. Then you select a profile that corresponds to the profile of your camera.

IMPORTANT!

If none of the profiles from the Camera Profile Menu is suitable for your camera, you'll find

useful notes on the Creation of your own camera profiles.

An examplel:

If you are using videos of the Action Camera GoPro Hero, just select the Profile that is already

available. The corrected Clip will be shown immediately in the preview.

You can carry out further adjustments to a Profile via the parameter Lens (in the Additional

Correction area). The result is merely an approach. Greater values can lead to unwanted

distortions. In that case, it is necessary to carry out a Calibration.
