A few questions regarding Post-Production and using a special effect from PA to AE
1. You know how in movies everything looks so clear and high quality, but when you view that from the camera it isnt so good, (static kind of way), i was told that they do that in editor programs, like remove all the static view and make it more high definition, i havent really tried in AE, i have a 300 dollar handheld canon camera and is there a way i can use some videos from that in AE and make it high quality looking, remove all the static view?
2. If any of you have PA, (particle illusion), there is an effect called Heat Simmer, you know how when you see fire and on top or around it the view goes blurry from the fire, well thats what this particle does, but the only problem is, when i transfer that from PA to AE its not showing up because its clear, is there another way i can transfer that particle from PA to AE?
thanks

Movies are shot in Super 35mm film and at least in the last few years are colored in the DI process (digital intermediate). This pipeline will not be remotely matched by a home camera no matter how many effects are applied. If that was possible, then a lot of people would be saving hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.
Not sure what you mean by “static”. Maybe you have bad electronics that make your camera noisy? Film cameras don’t have static, they have film grain. But with modern stocks and a little over exposure, that grain is pretty minimal.

Thanks for the clearing that out, i actually did mean film grain, not static
anyone got an idea for the 2nd question?

pI uses it’s built-in blur to achieve the effect. What you would need is to derive a greyscale sequence from the effect in question and then in AE use Compound Blur or similar tools to blur your footage based on taht greyscale map.
