Green artifacts showing up in AE….
This is driving me NUTS so hopefully someone here can help. I have some footage of our talent holding a picture frame that I’m going to track. Similar to the old HP commercial or the Modern Family intro. I’ve exported them from Avid as a QT movie. I’ve tried both DNxHD and Apple ProRes422 and this happens on both. When I look at the original source footage and the exported QT… the video seems fine. When I import it into AE or mocha… I get this dancing green artifacting going up and down the edge of the frame. Almost looks like a reflection but there is no reflection. Anyone ever experienced anything like this? I have never seen it and I’m about to lose my mind! 🙂
Thanks for any help!

What is the original format of the footage and is the same format going in the Avid?

Original footage was recorded to the Avid in DNxHD 220.

Is the footage interlaced? It almost looks like artifacts you would get in DV footage.

It does look like that! Yes it was shot at 1080i using our studio cameras. Captured through a switcher into the Avid directly. I exported both interlaced and de-interlaced. In QT and imported back into Avid, they play fine. In AE, PS and PR I see this green stuff. I’m at a total loss.

It may be that you have green fringes – they tend to be more evident in interlaced footage I noticed. Did you shoot with a fast lens at a wide aperture? That can cause green fringing behind the plane of focus- on cheap and expensive lenses alike.
You can try using AE’s own plugins to remove this chromatic aberration or this:

Not sure what the settings for the camera were. We used our on air studio cameras. No idea how they are set, I just know they are better than the Panasonic 200’s my dept has. I’ll try that script. Thanks!
