filmed to wide and now he's gone!

I flew someone out to CA from MO to film an instructional video. I was on a limited schedule and had to film everything in one weekend and all the shots were pretty much taken as "the first, last and only" shot.

Well...he's gone now and the shots aren't framed the way I really wanted them...the camera angle is a little too wide.

I know that if I pan into the shot, I'm gonna lose resolution. So, what I've done is a picture-in-picture where the lossy ultra zoom is in the PIP.

The question is: Is there a cheater way to kinda clean up the zoomed in PIP to make it appear a little cleaner?

If there is only a small amount of movement in the shots, you can use the temporal smoother plugin (there are two plugins posted at the site referenced in the last post), and crank it WAY up. Normally this makes things look really bad, but if your shot is locked down, and nothing much is moving, you can make the shot look amazingly clean, even with only a few pixels.
