This software removes borders and pixels by pushing them off the screen. Simplifying and streamlining the display.
The Eliminate Borders plugin by iMovie is a useful tool for those looking to convert analog video footage to digital. It enlarges the clip, pushing out the borders, which is particularly helpful when the borders contain artifacts or bad pixels that need to be eliminated. This plugin enables you to get rid of these pixels by simply shoving them off-screen.
The newest version includes an optional bi-cubic interpolation method that improves image quality. It is important to note that this method is slower than the regular method, but delivers a much better result.
The plugin is easy to use, and you can incorporate it whenever there is an issue with pixels in the borders of your source material. It is a great alternative to zooming, which distorts the clip.
The Eliminate Borders plugin was developed from a suggestion by Tim Gregg, who needed a way to routinely eliminate borders from his analog video source without using the zoom plugin.
The plugins' main features are horizontal and vertical sliders that control how much to zoom the clip. It is important to keep in mind that horizontal and vertical are independent of each other and using the sliders will slightly distort the clip.
Eliminate Borders is compatible with iMovie 3.0 or later, and if you are looking to improve your analog to digital conversions, it's definitely worth trying out.
