d90 stair step removal AE Project - download link

Hey guys, new to the forum, so first: thx a lot for the ss removal project, just great!

Now I get a strange error when working with it and was wondering if anyone had the same problem:
some rendered files are about double as fast as the original footage. sometimes it happens, sometimes everything works just great. all original mjpeg files were shot on the same card, same settings in d90 as well as in AE (same framerate ect.), I just replaced the file in the ss removal project and adjusted the duration of the comp. the problem already occurs when previewing the comp in AE.
Strangely, I had the exact same problem when working with the avisynth script that's available in the other thread for d90 stair step removal. sometimes it worked just fine, sometimes the rendered file was double the speed.

I'm not new to AE...so this makes me feel really stupid :)

any help is appreciated! THX

btw, original files are ok

Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum and a d.ck with cameras.
I used to make movies a lot when I had my Panasonic SD-DV (don't laugh)

Now I have the D90. I understand what is wrong with it.
I found the thread, great! I was so happy. I installed After Effect.
I open the program... and I don't understand a thing. The layers, the problem of FPS you talked about etc... I try to save to get the new video and it is like a test video, short, with text showing the before & after the effect.

First, I don't understand why the great people who have an erected statue did not make something more friendly for weak logic people like me. I mean... Guys... If you make a file (better a program!!) to fix the stairsteps + make all the improvement ("like" neat does etc...) with one click, man, I would spend about 150 dollards to buy it to you... No kidding.

Second, why can't we just make a final cut with Imovies (haha ! I am playing with english words!!) and put it in this frea..., in this complicate file and just push a button so that it works?? Why do you guys want to do this on all your rush?? I think it is not rational... but hey, I am a newbi (is that how you spell it) and I don't understand a thing...

But yes MAN YES !! LET'S GO !! WE CAN DO IT !!!
 
I have tried using both Lee's and the other fix. I replaced the video and the displacement map, and I see tabs for the different processes in different places. Does it need an extensive procedure, or can I just add to render queue?

When I did add, there was no noticeable difference.
 
There's not supposed to be any obvious noticeable difference. You have to know what to look for. Does your original have clearly visible stairsteps in the first place?
 
I know what the stairsteps look like, especially on hard diagonal objects. When zoomed in, even faces have visible banding - is this caused by the same thing?

I am looking at some online video tutorials to bone up on AE, but it is a huge and complex program.
 
Yes same thing. Visible mostly on diagonal lines as well as smooth gradients. Those artifacts are supposed to disappear pretty much completely.
 
hey guys, one more stupid question:

so I replaced my footage with the "replace this" file and it works very nice and looks awesome. But I'm not sure which pre comp, which timeline I should export. Precomp 3 or 4? I cant see the difference between those 2...

can anyone help, please??

thx in advance,

Ben
 
And here's another one:
I have a problem with red green and blue dots appearing sometimes, they normally disappear. But now they are in AE when i open up the D_Movie_fixer_2 file, and when i output they are still there! also the comp stays the same length, it used to auto adjus...help please!
Thank you,
Martin
 
hmm it appears to have fixed itself...is this a faulty video card?? I often get weird random pixels in any kind of video footage..
