Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Pixelated Artifacts on XDCam footage

  • Pixelated Artifacts on XDCam footage

    Posted by Ace Billet on October 17, 2015 at 12:57 pm

    I got some footage off AVID – a mix of DNxHD and XDCam.

    When I brought some shots into After Effects, I noticed that
    some of the materials that’s in XDCAM HD422 1080p30 (50 MB/s)
    has weird pixel artifacts, popping in for one frame.
    The artifacts also appear on the original media files.

    The weird thing is that the noise in not consistent –
    I can scrub a clip, and the noise won’t appear, next scrub it’s there.
    Also, in Avid the footage play ok – No artifacts.

    When I open the clips in a Quicktime player, the artifacts appear.

    I have the Apple Pro Video Format Installed.

    Hi,

    I’ve got exactly the same problem with CC2015 and xdcam footage.
    I tried to export another aaf with linked transcoded files (in prores HQ) but now, automatic duck says that it can’t handle video format…

    Have you found a solution ?

    regards,

    Kev
