    Organic Lines Preset in what? Particular? If so, you will have to pre-comp your layer. Then speed reverse the pre-comp. Because Particular is an effect that goes on top of a layer. If you speed reverse the layer you would just be reversing the solid, then putting Particular on top of that so you wouldn’t see a difference.

    Don’t quite understand. Why not just make the layer 3D and change the Z parameter to set them at different depths?

    You may have your fields reversed. Either in the AE output or in whatever program compressed your files to mp2, reverse the field order and give that a try.

    If they are reveresed, it will stutter like walking 2 steps forward 1 step back.

    I could be wrong, but it’s about as automated as any technique may get. There are noise reducers that may help with dust and noise here and there that change between frames. There is a clone that can clone from other frames for fixing one frame scratches. But none of this is “Automatic”. There will always be some kind of tweaking somewhere. There’s the median filter, but you will need to do some masking or keying to isolate certain areas so the whole image doesn’t look like art.

    I do a technique where I use a keyer to grab skin, Duplicate this layer, use median on it then if the blemish or unwanted thing is darker than the skin set the transfer mode to lighten. So that whereever your ugly spot is, it’s replaced by a smeared version of the area around it.

    Many techniques, but there is always some kind of work involved.

    There is the built in (6.5 and 7.0) CC Simple Wire Removal effect which should do nicely for scratches and some marks.

    Are you rendering it to a 16 bit format or 8 bit format? Are you watching it on 8 bit output? Any of these will add banding. You can also add a touch of noise which will smooth out banding.

    Side note: I cuss like a sailor in real life, but I think the Cow needs to keep clean language for the conservative youngins. 🙂
