About Hawaiki AutoFix
Hawaiki AutoFix is a repair plug‑in from Hawaiki that provides fast, automatic restoration of dead pixels across several video editing hosts, including After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and Motion. The plug‑in runs on macOS with both Apple Silicon and Intel processors but requires the Noise Industries FxFactory runtime, which is available as a free download (FxFactory also offers a paid Pro version with identical system requirements). Its content‑aware algorithm automatically fills missing pixels, while a dedicated HUD, navigation view, match‑swatch and graph modes, and repair mask tools let users refine the result or apply manual fixes. The plug‑in appears in each host’s effects library and is applied by dragging it onto a clip. Documentation and a demonstration video are provided by the developer.
