I recently bought a GoPro Hero 3 camera to lighten my travel load and to use primarily for underwater videography. Underwater, the camera produces "normal" looking images. However, topside on land shooting in air, it produces a curved fish eye type image. Is there a way to correct this in FCP X so that video shot on land is not distorted? Or do I still have to haul along a second video camera? Thanks.

there are two solutions
- apply a lens distortion filter and pull it backwards - fairly good results and free
- Fisheye Fixer from Crumplepop, made for the GoPro - http://www.crumplepop.com/fisheyefixer/
best of luck

sorry! too late here .......
I just tried to find the distortion filter that I'd used before and found that it's part of NewBlueFX Video Essentials 2 package. Not Free. Sorry about that. But there is in Effects>Distortion>FishEye that will work but it pulls the edges of the video in, so you would have to Scale it back up.

Terry: I tried fooling with that filter this afternoon- it worked sort of but wasn't quite satisfactory. I downloaded the fisheye-removal plugin from fcpeffects.com and it works great! thanks to you and Karsten for your time and help in this matter.
