The camera was filming in auto focus, so it went in and out of focus a couple of times. Is there a way to fix this in Final Cut Pro X.
I have tried putting in the "Sharpen" effect, but it does not help - or I can say that it does make it better.
Is there another fix for this?
Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
I guess that if the video is too blurry there is nothing I can do..😐
This plugin fron Cineflare could help, I use it sometimes with good result http://cineflare.com/dynamic-range/
If the plug-in is successful, great. An alternative is to use B roll over the soft sections of footage.

Great! I will test this!!
I have asked this question before, so I thought I was stupid asking it again, but my my - I got more tips!! Thanks!
Another option is to freeze frame the last good frame and then set that as a still, or pull in several other frames for a choppy break-action look. Nothing will really turn a blurry frame into a nice crisp frame so it's a matter of doing something visually interesting for that section.
As digibudll has said, there is really nothing you can do about unsharp/blurry footage. Some processes may improve it but it's never going to look good.
If it is only in a couple of places in the whole video you could either leave it there and try to ignore it or else remove it entirely ........ possibly even the entire clip.
Many amateurs (including me) have an irrational love of every second of video we shoot and are loathe to discard any of it.
This generally results in films that are many times longer than they should be, lack pace and are generally boring to anyone other than close friends and family.
So ask yourself whether that particular clip needs to be in the video at all .......... and if not, trash it.
P.S. If the comments about most of us amateurs don't apply to you, please accept my sincerest apologies. 😉
Regarding my comments about amateur films often being excessively long, slow moving and boring ....... take a look at this one that was shot around ten years ago ....... unfortunately not by me. 😟
It lasts just a minute but tells a complete story very skilfully.

Awesome video. Thanks for pointing it out, Ian.
A way to fix blurry and out of focused frames in video?
