    I would call B&H and describe your workflow and they might have something or at least point you in the right direction. I’m sure they have an old schooler there who knows what a TBC is and can recommend a solution.

    You may want to research a TBC (Time Base Corrector) and determine whether it’s right for you (and whether you can find one). If your VHS signal is unstable and /or locks up your capture system, knowing what a TBC does will help you out a lot.

  • Another method in AE that might ballpark it.

    1.) Draw a rectangular mask to encompass the artifacting on your clip (eg entire width, 7 px high). Change mask to Subtract.
    2.) With your clip selected, open the content aware panel, change fill method to Surface.
    3.) Generate Fill Layer (try small work area rather than the whole thing)
    4.) Fill layer will look okay in places, but tear in others.
    5.) Take the fill layer and duplicate it. Gaussian blur it, opacity change etc.

    Not a guaranteed solution, but might be a good first pass. There probably would be some problem areas still.

    I had this issue at one point. Try dragging and dropping an asset from the drive into the project panel or onto a sequence as opposed to importing using the media browser. Sometimes this step is enough to get Premiere to reorient itself and recognize the drives. Once the drives get recognized, you can go back to the media browser.

  • Doesn’t work in all situations, but opt + up / down arrow is a good command to know.

  • Another approach involves process of elimination.

    Duplicate your sequence twice.

    For the 1st sequence, delete the 2nd half of the timeline. See if it plays without an issue.

    For the 2nd sequence, delete the 1sr half of the timeline. See if it plays without an issue.

    Continue this process until you find the problem area. If it happens for both sequences, you know you have a larger issue.

    I don’t use Element 3D, but you could try:

    I’ve had instances where the emailing process itself corrupted the XML. Try emailing the XML again, but this time, zip / compress the XML before sending.

    However, it’s more likely that linear keyframes just don’t translate as an attribute yet.

    Mike,

    That was a FANTASTIC tutorial, very detailed. I ran across that on Highend2D back in the day. Still one of my favourites of all time. If they gave Oscars for tutorials, you would have won an award for that.

    I went looking for that tutorial not too long ago, but wasn’t able to find it, thanks for the link.
    I still have it on my system I think “Technilook-v0”
