The Foundry RollingShutter for After Effects or Nuke 1.1v2 (Node Locked) (Node-Locked)

RollingShutter is a brand new plug-in tool for After Effects and Nuke which tackles image-distortion problems often experienced by users of CMOS cameras Rolling shutter effects are commonly found with video cameras employing CMOS image sensors, which record every frame line-by-line from top to bottom of the image, rather than as a single snapshot of a point in time. As parts of the image are recorded at different times, fast-moving objects, or objects that pass quickly through frame during camera whip-pans, become distorted with diagonal skews. Other typical distortions include image wobbles created when cameras are hand-held, and exposure problems with flashing or strobing lights. Along with being ungainly and unwanted, these image distortions also increase the difficulty of 3D tracking during VFX post production, as the tracking points themselves can be equally affected or not deliver accurate results. Using Local Motion Estimation technology, we can individually correct parts of the image that are moving relative to the camera, even if they are moving in different directions or at different speeds. The Foundry's RollingShutter plug-in tackles skew and wobble problems from the VFX artist's perspective. Although the plug-in will often vastly improve the look of distorted footage, by either minimising or eradicating image distortions, its main purpose is to enable software trackers to work effectively on a wide range of affected footage. New in version 1.1v2 Added 64-bit support for Adobe After Effects CS5. Due to this update we changed some underlying parameter types which broke compatibility and thus required a minor version number update (that is, the change from 1.0v1 to 1.1v2). The underlying algorithm is the same, so no new build is required for CS3 or CS4. Due to this version number shift, when opening projects saved from CS3 or CS4 in CS5 you will need to reapply RollingShutter in the relevant places. The RollingShutter plug-in now appears under a menu item named The Foundry in the Effects and Presets panel.
