Mimic GoPro Linear FOV for 4k Resolution

rtbond wrote on 7/26/2020, 3:19 PM

GoPro cameras have a "linear" field of view (FOV) setting that applies software correction to the lens distortion before it saves the image file to the memory card. Unfortunately this feature is not available (at least in the Hero 7 Black) when recording in the 4k resolution. Does anyone know if there is a way in VP-17 or 3rd-party application to mimic the in-camera "linear" feature (reducing the barrel distortion of the image)?

See the a short video below that illustrates the native GoPro feature.

Thanks!

In FX, VEGAS Lens Correction: "select lens" - "search for" - "gopro" - "gopro 4-7..."

Or, use the HOS Fisheye Removal. I can attest that it works with the Hero 5,6, & 7 Blacks' - Thanks Wayne!

Thanks for the pointer to the VP-17 native FX. That certainly is easy enough.
