Anyone else getting Instant HD plugin error

Anyone else getting Instant HD plugin error

in AE CS3? I, for some reason, have Instant HD "Advanced" and I'm not a regular AE user so I don't really know how to fix.

Any thoughts or help?

I'd love to get some respectable HD out of the D90. :-)

William

p.s. Awesome thumbs up to you for working on this.

i noticed that the lee/matthew ae file turns the native d90 24p into 23.976p
- is this repitching the audio (in ae) or will this lead to out of sync audio?

How does it turn footage from one speed to another ? When I set my test project up I left the footage at 24p.

The original file is 24p - it is 24p in the project window - and of course renders as 24p.

When you say the AE project is turning the D90 footage from 24p to 23.979p - how are you making this judgement ? Give us some clues here ! :)

Are you rendering the file and then watching it in a media player and taking the frame rate from that ?





P.S. You can run the footage at whatever frame rate you wish in AfterEffects, if you want it to be 24p then make it 24p in the interpret footage dialogue box.

using get info in quicktime ... and it has 23.976 in the ae comp (next to the frame counter) in pre-comp 4

i think Matthew's version is different to your original : )

from what i can glean from google, interpet footage doesn't change the audio speed - for this you need to timestretch the audio by 100.1% (for 24 to 23.976)

apologies for the confusion - hope your cold is improving!
 
Sorry, yes, I my AE project my final area was a 1280x720 sq.pix 23.976 comp. I always render out that way 'cause its the most final cut friendly...

You can change any comps framerate at any time by going into the comp settings and simply changing it back.
 
Does anyone have some daylight stuff done using this on Vimeo yet?

My Camera is still out, won't get it back til this weekend so I can't try it. Would like to see what the results are.

I tried working with the VW clip from your section, the bus clip from Dpreview, plenty of my own clips of course...
The LEE FIX works fantastic on 45ish degrees curves+lines, but if something is finely moired or moving through the frame just off horizontal, you'll still get a jaggy or some fine jittering..
 
Sorry, but I don´t understand the procedure in AE. Each Clip has a different length. So, when I replace it in the project-window it don´t matches with the Comp-length. Have I to change the length in each Precomp + Comp 4? That seems to be a little bit circumstantially...
 
Thx Matthew. It doesn´t come fast. What do you think is the best workflow for, let´s say, about 20 Clips? First cut in Premiere Pro then render out as 1 file (TGA, QT-Animation...) for the fix in AE. Or first preparing each single clip in AE...?
 
sorry if this has been covered else where but....

i import the project you can down load at the start of this thred in to AE cs3 ....

i then get a message saying

"this project contains 1 referance to a missing effect. please install the following effect to restore this reference ("instant HD")"

i click ok and that one dissapeared then this one pops up:

" the following layer dependencies are missing: basic text: font family " diavlo" font style "bold"

then i click ok to that and it starts up.

how do i get these files and start fixxing the stair stepping in my films ?
 
Matthews project scales the D90 image up to FullHD using the InstantHD plugin. Just delete the InstantHD effect in the AE project if all you want is removing the stairsteps. Also look for any text and replace it with a font that you have.
 
i'm using avs script & virtual dub with mainconcept codec,
my videos after this fix are larger in disk size than the orig. d90 files
any way to keep them about the same as orig size?

Yeah, probably best to save your own version of the project, where that text is removed, if you dont have instant hd then remove that comp or effect...

The major work in that AE project was really the cutting part with all the masks, everything else is just copies of the original work comp with various little methods to try and regain a nice 720p or a nice downscaled 480p, etc...
