[stokes mcintyre] “I noticed that in the timeline the little green render bar stops about where the audio drops out. When I export the audio the drop out remains in the audio.”

Does the original file have a dropout if you play it the Quicktime player? What format is the original audio file and what audio format are you using for your timeline?

[Conrad Olson] “Have you tried just using the point tracker to do the stabilize? I don’t think the artifacts are caused by rolling shutter. I think that it might be the warp stabilizer that’s introducing them.”

I was thinking that I did not notice the wavy before the stabilizing but I did not look again last night as I was working on something else. And the other folks say the stabilizing makes the rolling shutter more noticeable.

Interested in trying the point tracker if someone can point me to a good tutorial.

[ben g unguren] “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!”

Makes sense. I don’t think the idea was to manually correct the rolling shutter. I believe we were discussing manually corrected the shaky so the Warp Stabilizer is not in the workflow making the rolling shutter artifacts noticeable.

Hopefully some the caffeine will kick in shortly and I can get back to trying some things. Really would like a tutorial on point tracking, never done that. Saw some folks talking about all the motion tracking that was done on Battlestar Galactica and that sound like tedious and not much fun, but once in a while for a bit would be OK.

Thanks,
Robert

[Conrad Olson] “Are you trying to use the new warp stabilzer?”

Yes, Warp Stabilize is what I have been using.

[ben g unguren] “Have you tried going into the Advanced settings of the plugin and fiddling with the rolling shutter options?”

I switched to Enhanced on the Rolling Shutter part and the wavy is diminished but still very noticeable. Have not gotten back into Resolve Lite, I think it broke with the latest Cuda upgrade.

I was thinking of the manual method, since I am a notalentwannabe is there a good, hopefully free, tutorial somewhere?

BTW, the Mercalli plugin does pretty good on the rolling shutter but seems to be terrible at stabilizing. I will play with it some more.

Thanks again men,
Robert

[ben g unguren] “Looks like the “rolling shutter” problem to me. I’m guessing this was shot with a DSLR or other camera with a CMOS chip inside it.”

Not a fan of the DSLR movement although I understand it. I shot the event an AG-HPX300 on my shoulder which is CMOS and a AG-HMC150 on a tripod which is also CMOS. The shaky clip is of course from the HPX300. AE CS5.5 has rolling shutter reduction as part of the stabilize effect. I will try changing those settings.

Thanks,

[ben g unguren] “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:
https://www.prodad.com/home/products/videostabilizing/300391667,l-us.xhtml“

Might try the demo of that one if I cannot get AE’s to work better. I suppose I should look at Resolve Lite and see if there is any rolling shutter reduction. I did not notice it, but it is a somewhat complex interface.

Thanks Gentlemen,
Robert

[Jon Barrie] ”
Let us know if reimporting it gets it back on track via:
File>Dynamic Link>Import After Effects Composition…”

Yes, I believe I did try that. What seems to have worked is odd. In AE I selected the first clip that exhibited the bad behavior. I removed all the effects (Finesse & stabilize) and that did not change the framing issue in PPro but the effects removal did appear in PPro. So I could mess around and revert, I saved the AE project. I then selected the hand tool and started moving the vid left and right relative to the center point. No movement would fill the frame in PPro. When I had the vid moved to the left in AE I could get it centered in PPro but it looked like 4:3 in a 16:9 frame and the church was seen at the left and right. So back in AE I put the vid back to the center, hit a button that I thought would center it (not sure what I hit, will look if my export ever finishes). No change in PPro so I did a revert just to be sure it was back in place. Strange as it may seem, after the revert the vid in that clip looks correct in PPro. In addition, all the other clips with the issue are ok now as well. I suppose the revert must have caused something to be rewritten. Redid the Finesse and stabilze, did some additional work and am now waiting on the PPro sequence to encode and upload to CSReview.

I sincerely hope none of us have this happen again!

Thanks for the reply,

Sorry, I thought I replied with what I did.

I did end up using Dynamic Link and that works except for the issue in this thread which I may have fixed:

https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/914241

I will update that thread next.

BTW, I have done the updates. I suppose I should try the import again at some point and call Adobe if it does not work. Possibly not a “Feature” .

Thanks for the reply,
Robert

[Robert Ober]

I modified the stabilization in an affected clip in AE so it would update the PPro composite and still it looks fine in AE but not in PPro. I will next remove the stabilizing and see what happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert

[Ann Bens] ” Viewers have to set their player to highest quality in their YouTube preferences. 360 is just what it is, lowest quality.”

Don’t think he is debating that. He is pointing out that other folks video looks better at 360 than his. So the questions are why? and how can he improve his at 360?

OP, did you email the youtube folks about this?

Good Luck,
Robert
