Video is too blurry

When you shoot fast moving objects such as birds, animals, cars, athletes etc., the details in your video get a bit smudged and blurry. Although our eye can't see all details of moving objects either, we definitely want to have everything in our videos as sharp as possible.

In the image below we see a heron flying away. At the first sight, this video doesn't need fixing. However, we'll try applying the

Sharpening filter and look what'll happen - especially to the areas marked with yellow circles.

1. Open your file with EnhanceMovie by clicking

2. Double-click the

Sharpening filter's icon:

3. This will add the filter to the list of applied filers. Now, in the filter menu box in the bottom of the list of filters and effects, move the slider to the maximum (100) and click OK.
Hint:You can also type in the values using your keyboard.

To better see the changes, we'll zoom the original and fixed videos 300%. Let's look closer at the problem areas that were marked with the circles.

a.	Before	After
			The wing became a bit darker, that renders the real color better. The shapes of the long feathers at the end of the wing are more distinct, we can clearly see the border between each feather and between the wing and the water.
b.	Before	After
			The details of the wing became more sharp and clear.
c.	Before	After
			The thin legs had almost no details. After restoring, we're able to see the clutches; shadows became more sharp as well.
d.	Before	After
			The head became sharper. As we can see on the fixed video, the black spot at the top of the head and the beak became darker.

Compare the original and the enhanced videos at the animated image below. Remember, we thought this video was perfect, but look: even the waves became sharper!
