    If you need a more extreme graph shape than what a fully extended handle can give you, you will need to use additional keyframes….

    It would be fun if handles could extend beyond 100%, however, as you would be able to create some pretty interesting (funky) animations!

    AE works in RGB, not YUV, so if you start with RGB then that’s one less conversion the program has to make. Though if you’re shooting YUV 444 I don’t think it will make a huge difference (RGB is inherently 444, as it were).

    I don’t think manually correcting rolling shutter is a good idea — I’ve never heard any happy endings, at least.

    Before coming across the “track and remove rolling shutter at the same time” solution in CS5.5, the process was (1)remove rolling shutter, (2) stabilize / motion track / etc. The rolling shutter was always the first thing that had to be corrected. (I figure if you’re going to break down the process and go all crazy-manual on us, that might be useful to know.) Good luck!

    Addendum: I haven’t used the Warp Stabilizer either, so I just looked it up. It looks like the Warp Stabilizer (in AE CS 5.5) should do the job — very impressive plugin! It will track and remove rolling shutter in one go. Have you tried going into the Advanced settings of the plugin and fiddling with the rolling shutter options?

    2D stabilization is what you want when your camera is on a tripod, or effectively on a tripod — like a handheld shot where the person isn’t changing his/her location.

    Rolling shutter appears in CMOS cameras when there is a lot of horizontal movement, and has nothing to with whether the camera is moving in 2D or 3D space, nor does it have anything to do with the camera canting right or left. Stabilizing footage tends to enhance the visibility of rolling shutter rather then eliminate it. The solutions we’ve talked about are specifically for rolling-shutter removal — you’d use these in conjunction with a 2D or 3D tracking solution.

    Good point, Jeff. A lot of the time we say 30 and 24 when we should be saying 29.97 and 23.976. Shorthand can be a problem when we forget it’s shorthand….

    I’m not at my editing station at the moment, but I believe the wipe transition has an option to show a border already built-in. You just have to check the box and define the thickness & color….

    The &lt; is supposed to be a less-than sign (“<“), see if that fixes things

    Sounds to me like this might be going to DVD, in which case you can still export at 24fps (dvd players will convert the video to 30fps on the fly).

    If everything looks good, then press on. But make sure you’re looking at it on your final delivery format. For instance, if you’re going to be watching this on a TV, make sure you try it on the TV before you decide all is well. If it were me, and all my footage was at 24, I’d definitely be editing at 24, and doing any converting to 30fps further downstream. This gives me a lot more options later on.

    really? holy smokes, you’re right — I guess we did it all on the 15-day trial license. And to buy it’s $500. I’ve never tried this one, but it’s about half that price:
