Patch Options
These options let you customize the effect of a patch filling over a blemish.
Mute
Lets you turn a particular patch on or off via keyframing. Useful for blemishes that only show up
for a few pixels of a shot.
Variability for Spatial Patches
Raising the variability parameter lets you make the fill method less uniform.
Soft Edges
Lets you soften the edges of the patch.
Size Adjust
Lets you change the size of a patch after its creation.
Advanced Controls
These controls let you customize the UI of this effect.
Clone Sticks to Mouse
When enabled, drawing or placing a rect, ellipse, or patch in clone or blend clone mode
immediately switches to positioning the sample region, making it faster to use.
New Patches Stay Selected
When enabled, patches stay selected after you draw them, in preparation for further
customization.
UI Line Thickness
Lets you choose how thick the on-screen outlines should be.
Patches Stick to
This parameter lets you deal with fixing hot pixels or blemishes on clips that have been
stabilized.
Source
Patches you place stay put, unless you apply motion stabilization to the shot, in which case
the patches are transformed along with the image so they remain 'stuck' to the feature in
the source clip they're fixing.
Scene
If you're eliminating a blemish on a moving subject, you can use the FX tracker to track the
thing you're fixing, so the patch follows along with it.
Output Mode
This lets you see different representations of the patched effect you're creating. There are
four options.
Patched Result
The final result, with each patch repairing the blemish it's covering.
