Pixel Masking

You can use the Pixel Masking tool to correct hot pixels in recorded footage. Once you pick a pixel to mask, the pixel is masked for all frames in the clip. To apply a pixel mask from one clip to another clip, both clips need to be from the same camera and recorded at the same resolution.

NOTE: Pixel masking is not available for cameras with MONOCHROME or DRAGON MONOCHROME sensors and does not apply to R3D trim exports.
