I usually use Gaussian blur to fix a moire effect on clothing, but that's not doing the trick this time.
Footage is a 30-minute one-person interview, filmed waist-up (seated). The woman's face looks fine, but she's wearing a jacket with brown & black checkered pattern and it's causing major moire effect.
Which FCP 7 filter will help with this? I'd like to apply it just to the jacket, not her face.

Directional blur...but you have to keep it at like 2%...3%. Any more and it will be out of focus.
But there is only so much you can do to fix Moire. If it's bad recorded...it's bad. Either re-shoot or live with it.

It will.
Certain patterns like narrow pinstripes and fine checks are poisonous in video and television. It is your camera operator's responsibility to know this and point it out to the talent and wardrobe people.
Safest bet is to have them wear plain colors.
Which filter to fix moire effect?
