    Hello, I want to render my comp out at a normal frame rate, but fake a 12pfs rate instead of 25 (European PAL Trash here 🙂
    So that it simply duplicates every odd frame , so that it looks like a shift ram preview.

    What is the fastest way to do this, without having to re-import the footage? I now allways render out the comp at a 50% percent stretch an then re-import it and slow it down again. But isn

    Apply the Posterize time plug-in and set the plug-in’s frame rate to 12.

    Job done.

    [Noizzz] “Thanx, if all things in life were that simple :-)”

    They are !

    My brother lost his job recently two days after his wife left him and later that same week was made bankrupt – he came to me for help, he was in a bad way, crying and ranting, he had been drinking heavily and was inconsolable. It was then that he confessed to me that he was up on a charge of armed robbery !! In a moment of madness, he had tried to rob a security van in a vain attempt to get him out of his financial difficulties and had been caught later that day by armed police, he was looking at 15-20 years minimum.

    Desperately looking for advice, I told him to use the Posterize time plug-in in After Effects, maybe that would help.

    When his day in court came and he stood before the judge he was asked “do you have anything to say in your defense”, my brother opened his laptop and booted up his copy of After Effects 7 and applied the posterize time plug-in to a new solid layer (a pale green).

    The judge sat there mesmerized, transfixed by the magic of seeing one frame rate imposed on another, the pale green solid seemed to come alive, it danced its merry dance, the jury gasped at the temporal magic before them and reporters hurriedly scribbled headlines for the following mornings papers.

    The judge asked my brother “what has this to do with the robbery”

    “nothing” he said.

    He got 35 years.
