so...I had a hot pixel in a bunch of my 7D footage, and in one case it was so obvious I spent a lot of time hiding it in post. I found a fix as described here, followed directions, and a subsequent video shot at night showed significant grain but no stuck pixel. Great right? Thank you Canon for including a mechanism for the camera to fix itself. In retrospect maybe I should have tried that but I wasn't aware of the proper procedure so that's probably for the best that I watched a demo.
So basically I feel like this is basic maintenance that should be performed before every shoot, in case one of these pixels pops up again and I have to resort to potentially hours of AE work (I used a small region blur in FCP on the one project actually, strange to my eye but no one seemed to notice). Is this concern of a sudden reappearance of a hot pixel valid? Any chance of making one show up again by remapping the sensor too many times? I've only done it once so far and all my my work since the shoot that showed that the pixel was gone has been with my old workhorse, the HVX200 (still mentioned by name in craigslist posts).
Drop some knowledge on me y'all.
