The reason that I = ask is that I'm curious to know whether this is a problem that you feel = is inherent to the software or if it's an issue with compression in the = input. If it's the former then we would like (if at all possible) to see = an unfiltered and a filtered frame that demonstrates this issue so that = we can do something about it. If it's a compression artifact, you might = want to try applying the BCC Noise Reduction filter to the clip as a = pre-key step to see if that helps. If you have a frame that you could pass to us (for internal r and d test = purposes) you can send that to me via email at peterm@borisfx.com. Cheers, Peter.
