The 82mm Hoya Softener 0.5 Filter is a filter with randomly arranged drops of water on the surface of optical acrylic. The pattern subtly scatters light resulting in a picture with a clear focus and soft gradation, and this effect is especially evident in an object with a point light source, like a candle or match.

question
does this filter help reduce moire in dslr video?
Diffusion filters and turning down the sharpening may help at reducting moire on your DSLR. Depending on which DSLR, lens and subject you have, the supression of the moire will vary. However, in the end these are mostly stop gap measures. The best way to eleimiate moire is to have a camera that does not make it in the first place.
