  • Need Assistance With Strobing Edges On Speed Changes

    Posted by David Beard on January 20, 2012 at 1:43 am

    Hi there, I’m hoping someone can offer up some help on how to fight this issue I’m having. So I’m working with some RED One footage. I have this one shot that is a dolly move from right to left, shot at 48fps, 1/120 shutter, in a 23.976 time base. The clip is fine as shot, but the client would like me to speed it up so the image matches the script a little better. When I attempt to speed this clip up, the edges of the apples start to strobe. Is there anything I can do to smooth this out in AE? Here is a sample.

    I think it’s for sure judder after to speaking with a few more experienced people then myself. The footage was shot in a 23.976 time base on a RED One at 48fps, so I overcranked. The footage shows up as 23.976 in REDCine-X Pro.

    In the camera, you have an option of what time base you’re project will be. So, I can choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 59.94, and 60. I think that’s all of them. Then, you need to choose what frame rate you’ll be shooting. Most of the time, we are shooting 24 fps, with a 1/48th shutter. You have the option to activate varispeed. This shot was 48fps, 1/96th shutter, in a 23.976 time base, which means, this shot, to the editor, is a 23.976 clip, with slower motion. I have been doing some experimentation in Twixtor, and I’m getting slightly better results.
