[Rafael Amador] “Here is where RSMB comes to play.”
Oh, boy! That’s what happens, when checking out forums while you’re still recovering from your birthday party…
Sorry, Jimmy! And thanks Rafael!

It’ll work, but be careful with fast motion. With higher shutterspeeds you’ll decrease the amount of motion blur which can lead to strobing motion.

In general: The faster the motion (camera and/or moving object) the stronger the jello-effect. So avoiding fast pans and/or shooting fast-moving objects reduces rolling-shutter effects.
There’s an excellent article about that issue:
https://dvxuser.com/jason/CMOS-CCD/Same thing wih shutterspeed (but in “reverse”): The slower the shutterspeed, the stronger the jello-effect. So when shooting with high shutterspeeds you’ll notice less rolling-shutter effects. The problem here is that with higher shutterspeeds you might get strobing motion because of the lack of motion-blur.
You shurely know the rule of thumb: Shutterspeed = 2 x fps
With that, you’ll get the “normal” amount of motion-blur.When having to deal with the jello-effect, there are two plugins that might help:

[Teresa Seito] “5) If I choose a LOSSLESS compression scheme, and if I try to play the rendered AVI file straight from the desktop, it looks choppy and stutters.”
[Teresa Seito] “1) What is going on? Why is the lossless file choppy when played from the desktop and why is the codec not choppy?”
Just for clarity: Which lossless setting are you using in AE? The defaults?

[Bob Cole] “I wonder whether there is a LUT Buddy setting for other profiles besides the Technicolor.”
Glad I helped a bit!
Haven’t found LUTs for other profiles, but you can easily create them by yourself.
Aharon Rabinowitz has this great tutorial on the RG site in which he explains how to create LUTs with the help of LUT Buddy.https://www.redgiantsoftware.com/videos/getting-started/item/259/

[Bob Cole] “I would also like to learn more about a good basic procedure for post-production grading when using profiles from Technicolor or Marvel”
The quickest way for a fast grade when using the Technicolor Cinestyle might be to use the provided LUT. You can use the free LUT Buddy plugin from Red Giant.
Works with FCP, Premiere, Motion and AEhttps://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/magic-bullet-lut-buddy/
You also might want to check out Red Giant’s Colorista (there’s also a free version on the RG website) or Looks (also a free version called Quick Looks Free).
There are some tutorials how to use these plugins on the RG site.
I personally like to use Color Finesse in AE for “correcting”. Great tool because of the scopes. And then using Looks for grading.
Andrew Devis has quite a couple of tutorials here on the COW concerning colour correction both in AE and Premiere. I learned a lot by watching them. Just do a quick search in the tutorials section with the keywords “color correction”. Fantastic advice given there

Thanks, Ken! Well this also explains the weird looks of the people passing by…

[Steve Crow] ” It’s always surprising to me how many questions we get on this forum about making video SHARPER, which sort of baffles me since to my eye anyway the “film look” is a much softer/diffused look than a still photograph or say DV Video.”
My thoughts exactly, Steve! When I was in film-school one of my teachers told a story about using old nylon stockings in front of the lens of his Betacam to get rid of that harsh video-look. Tried that one day myself but with no luck… maybe I had the wrong stockings 😉

Red Giant “Looks” is a plugin that helps to get results like that in post. It has an mighty arsenal of diffusing filters.
Or you could try to emulate that look in After Effects by softening the highlights and/or shadows via a luma-matte. One very easy way: Duplicate the footage, tint the duplicate b/w (maybe soften it a bit) and use that duplicate als a luma matte for an adjustment layer with a softening filter of choice.
