Getting rid of double reflection caused by diffusion filters in post.

[Graham Robbins]

Hey guys,

Some shots from a feature I recently shot we have found some double reflections in post that were not seen on the day.
Mostly shots where we had a strong backlight source ie. the sun outside. We did have our mattebox aligned with the lens, but I was using a POLA, nd, and 1/8 promist at the same time. I know a lot of people have started taping filters together when stacking, but our mattebox did not allow this at the time. My question is does anyone know a way to get rid of this in post, maybe resolve or after effects? Would a power window or a mask around the object and a defocus or, vignette solve the problem or just make it more apparent? I'm just curious if there are any post fixes to suggest.

Thanks,

Graham Robbins

You would have to post stills or a clip to get an accurate answer.

This would be a roto/paint job most likely with varying degrees of success depending on the actual clip.
