Dead Pixel..........Help

I used my "inlaws" camcorder as a third camera for a shoot last weekend, and when I loaded the footage up on the timeline... right there....smack dab in the middle of the scene... there it was a DEAD PIXEL, burning white like a searing sun from a distant Galaxy... OK OK a little over dramatic ( watch to much Star Trek)

Anyway is there anything that I can do to get rid of it or mask it. Maybe others wont see it but I sure can and some of the footage I need in the multicam edit.. and it is realy quite annoying...

OK, first off, you can never, EVER watch too much Star Trek! - Was h your mouth out . . ..

Secondly, IF movement is taken into account you have an option of DOUBLING-up the Track to Track 1, getting busy with Masking T1 and offset the duped T1 track. using Pan/Crop. What you'd be doing is to move an itsy bitsy GOOD piece of T1 over the offending "hole". Does that make sense? I've done exactly this and it's quite acceptable.

Cheers

Grazie
