Chromatic Aberration correction and REDRAW

I was playing with After Effect and I found out all kinds of lens distortion correction that could be applied to the clips.
You have to check guys the vignetting correction in AE, nothing I have had seen before!


One thing though is alarming. Most good Chromatic Aberration or fringing from diffraction correction tools needs RAW data to do it right.

May question to Graeme is, does REDRAW have enough dimensional information and whatever is needed to efficiently correct the CA?

Sure, Graeme could write plug-in for AE for CA correction if existing AE CA correction will not work on REDRAW I guess.

But again, will it be possible to do CA correction on REDRAW at all or we need RAW RAW for this?

AE just needs to support REDRAW fist.. then those tools should work well.

Im glad your having fun in AE... its one of my favorite programs out there, hands down.
 
Supporting AE, Shake, and Fusion is on our todo list. The netwrok bandwidth savings for moving R3ds around instead of 4k dpxes is a big reason to support R3d natively for vfx.

After Effects is dangerous. You can sit down and begin working on something.. Then you see a plug-in you've never noticed before, and you start to mess with it.... You say "Cool" and WHAMO you just went from Monday to Wednesday in that chair!

It's addicting.. No doubt about it

It's pretty amazing to me. Adobe contains to of the standards in the software world: After Effects and Photoshop.
Have you stopped to think how LONG they've been at this?! Premiere is lacking in many areas IMHO but they just keep moving forward a little at a time. Their open platform is amazing too.

I was telling someone from RED a couple days ago "you know, I think Premiere is actually better suited for what RED's doing than FCP".

I need to get my camera.. I need to go out and shoot something.

I used to think Premier was a joke.. but they have sure responded to feedback well. CS3 is a pretty impressive step in the right direction. They are sure giving FCP a run for their money.

I loved Vegas, still think its one of the best NLE's out there (its the only thing I miss after moving to the MAC) but I'm pretty sure it will never be coded over to OSX. Premier i think can fit hole that pretty well.
 
Could AE use Cineform 4k to correct CA and fringing? Might be a decent workaround instead of REDRAW. Jay, you've played with this....any thoughts?
 
Will we see RedCode support in Apple Color too?

If you guys really get raw footage support in all these apps and editors it'll be incredible. So would we be we rendering back to RedCode raw in these apps also? So RedCode really becomes an intermediate codec also?

:) :) Classic!

Oh and by the way, you may find the following AE plugins of interest:

The AE demo clips at the bottom of the page I thought were quite good as well.

could you add discreet combustion 2008 to that list? it has some quite useful advantages especially for red 4K - a powerful proxy system, the ability to feed smoke/fire/flame/flint/inferno etc with setups and most important, the colorwarper/colorcorrector of discreet which is absolutly unmatched at that pricepoint and is many top-end postguys favorite DI/colortoolset.

100% agreed!
 
Combustion too. I havent looked at their sdk in years. IFFFS sdk was nice when i last used it.

That is awesome! This will be a big drive space savings and ultimately a more image data to work with. AE, Shake, and Fusion support will be much appreciated by VFX guys!

Yes, it is hell of addicting, you are right, since 3 days 18 hours a day I am flipping from AE to Premiere burning Blue-Rays disks trying to get these best possible everything and more I play more I discover.
Tons of third party plug-ins and features that I never seen before.

Good that I have some PS CS3 experience from still photography from the past.

I have to tell you that experience with RAW from that period pays thousand times now.

Also I get used to Adobe PS interface so I know what to expect.
At minimum I don’t have to wary that Adobe will get in to some kind of cell phone business next year and will get out of focus on AE or Premiere. Also integration with all other Adobe product is superb.

If I am missing something in AE or Premiere I can always make a script to process it fully automatically in to Sound Booth or for Keying to Ultra CS3 via Adobe Bridge CS3.

You can download any Adobe program for free for 30 days and decide if you want to buy it later, it is what SCRATCH is missing.

I just discovered great training videos here, looks like another day or two nobody enters my room now.

Check on Ultra, Encore and OnLocation, very cute.

I hope my wife will deliver the food here though.........
