Fieldsskit > 2sFPS, 1 Frame per Field
After Effects CS6
I have a project with footage filmed at 60i (29.97) I did interpet footage and it shows upper field first. I created a 59.94 comp. I dropped the footage in. I dropped in FieldsKit 3.1.
When I page down through the comp, it is duplicating every other frame, rather than creatin a new one.
I have tried differrnt comp rate (29.97) but it does the samne thing.
Also, I’m going to use twixtor, so I shot with a high shutter speed and I need to brighten up footage and remove noise using Neat’s plugin. Brighten and denoise on adjustment layer before Fieldskit? And, adjustment layer before placing twixtor on a solid, or after?
Any help would be appreciated. I’ve spent a couple of hours trying different settings, but this should be the correct way according to the manual.

Thanks,

Hello,
Everything looks like it is set up properly.Question: if you turn off Fieldskit Deinterlacer, does it still have the duplicated frame for each 2 successive frames in the comp? if so, then your footage is not 60i (59.94i), but 30p (29.97p).
As to when to apply the next filter(s). Well it depends on our Neat works, but I would suggest before FIeldsKit, because you want to remove the noise before we try to interpolate the scanlines in a smart way (we try to find straight lines in the image and if there is noise present that can serve to reduce the efficacy of FieldsKit Deinterlacer.
Note: if you brighten and denoise on an adjustment layer, and FieldsKit Deinterlacer to the footae, you are doing the denoise and brightening AFTER FieldsKit has been applied (this is simply how AE works).

When I do not have Fieldskit turned on, it plays through. Here is the info on the file:

Argh, I see you are using CS6, and I reproduce the error.
I need to do some coding and get back to you.

NP. Been in the software development business for a long time.
Thanks,

Actually, it’s working just fine here. I was working at 50% resolution, which was causing the issue that I could not see every field (not just viewing at 50%, but calculating at 50%, and then AE doesn’t give us or display every field in a 59.94 comp).
Can you send a 15 frame excerpt of your clip, with an AE project that uses our Deinterlacer and the shortened clip, so that I can take a look at your setup.
Also, are you using our latest version. FieldsKit v 3.2.3 . ANd AE 11.0.2 (the latest dot release of AE CS6?)

Upgrading to the latest release fixed the problem. Interesting though is that PPro gave better results for just twixtor than with fieldskit used before twixtor.
Thanks for your help.

Feel free to send us a project – there are a number of variables at play here (e.g. if it’s field input in a progressive project… then if you apply FK first then Twixtor will not need to set Fields to Lower…). We should probably review at some point our documentation/FAQ regarding that as Premiere has significantly changed over time.
