The Foundry has released a new plug-in for AfterEffects and Nuke called “RollingShutter”, that claims to experience frame-distortions caused by poor CMOS sensors. When using CMOS cameras there is a time-lag between the top and bottom of the frame which generates some weird skew and distortion effects.
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.
Available from the Foundry for $500. See a demonstration video after the break.
