Hi Phantom Pilots,
I was recently engaged on a roof inspection which I was squeezing in between morning rain and the falling light of late afternoon. As I completed the roof work I was aware of mist blowing in from behind me. The mist is common is this area and it rises from the sea up a 500ft undercliff then flows across pasture towards an 1850 Mansion House. I had one battery left so grabbed a few minutes of video flying amongst the bands of mist.
During processing in Resolve I applied the OpenFX Dehaze filter. I haven't used this filter before but I was surprised how it transformed the video by cutting through the mist. I found the effect overly strong and dialled it back a lot. Even then I had to dial down the saturation some more. So, don't forget to try this filter if you have video with fog, haze or smoke.
All the best, Martin
