Adding a roller shutter effect
Hi Guys,
I have some material that I’d like to add a rolling shutter / jello effect too. Odd request I know, but I’m in the process of making a viral for a client who wants a hoax UFO video and the footage at present its way too smooth and clean …. I’m looking to mimic HD camera phone style footage and besides degrading image quality, rolling shutter is another typical feature of camera phone footage
Any Ideas ? Likewise does anyone have any tips on what else would constitute the ‘camera phone’ look ?
Thanks in Advance

most phones don’t go above 640×480 video resolution even though they say 1080p, nor over 30 fps, white balance goes all over the place, as does exposure. and there’s no image stabilizer. just my 2 cents.

It’s not an odd request, I’m doing something similar for a feature, where the director wants the camera to look “very low end” and have a jello effect added to it.
Time displacement won’t give a real rolling shutter effect, as it will just chop the image up into time slices, and be very jagged.
What you want is to track the image motion, then extract the delta with an expression, and use that to drive a transform plug-in.
I am planning on a tutorial on this subject in a couple months when I’m done with this film.

adding a simple wiggle to the bezier warp points looks exactly like the jello effect.

Grab a phone with a camera. Play your video while you point your camera at the screen. Shake it a little bit if needed.

So, do somebody now in details how to achieve this effect? I really need to simulate a rolling shutter, please help.

I went down the path with time displacement as Dave LaRonde suggested, and then added pixel motion blur to a pre-comp of the time displaced footage. This smooths out a lot of the jaggedness, and the left over jaggedness feels like an organic glitch. (I went pretty high with the shutter angle, in the 300s)

Sounds a little complicated, guess it’s because I’m away from my PC 🙂 But I’ll def give it a try. Thanks, glad to hear there’s a way without jaginess

Hi Andrew. Have you made a tutorial on that? If not, maybe you could just explain in short how to extract delta? Cause I still haven’t figured out how to make a rolling shutter effect. No info in web at all, you’re like the only hope left…
Thank you.
