Anyone know of a good reasonably (preferably free) application that will remove fish eye from videos?

From a GoPro by any chance? If it is download their free studio, they have a software solution to removing the fisheye, works fairly nice although there is a small quality drop depending on what setting the footage is filmed in.

I've been trying to use the GoPro, but it doesn't seem to be working right.
I tried talking to there support, but they weren't very helpful when I said I was running it on a Mac.

Don't shoot at wide angle. If you don't want a fisheyed shoot use narrow or medium.

You I use 1080 50fps and medium. The fisheye isn't too bad, but flushing it through the GoPro Studio ends up with a decent enough video. Although I've just ordered another 3+ Black with the normal lens fitted.

I had issues using GoPro Studio too, the software does not like external drives or SD cards when you import or export files. Try copying your files to the desktop first then try to import them into the program. When done, export/save back to the desktop or anywhere on your local disk.

besides the gopro are you using any other video editing software like FCP X?
There are a bunch of plugins but unfortunately cost money.

That's what I've been doing.
I'm in the process of replacing my GoPro 2 with a black 3+.
I'll try different settings as suggested and live with the results.

Thanks all.

Another trick in FCP X is to use the fisheye plugin that comes with FCP X ( I know, you are kind of applying a fisheye on the fisheye video ) This allows you controls to make it flatter. The video will be slightly zoomed in to remove pin cushion caused by removing the fisheye.

Alex4D and C2 Lock & Load both do free plugins for FCPX
