After Effects-Premiere-REDAlert Quality Comparison

[Chester Lehmann]

Recently I've finded a problem in the quality of the debayer of the R3D files between Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro.

This are a 1K crop of a 2K File (Rescaled down from a 4K File) without any color correction or sharpen applied, just the r3d file.

All with the same R3D Settings:

Debayer Detail: High
Chroma Denoise: Maximum
OLPF Compensation: High
Max Bith Depth Checked

First: After Effects
Second: Premiere
Third: REDAlert

Can you see the difference too?

it seems after effects is softer. I would have guessed that adobe was using the same debayering techniques for both applications.

AE output seems to be a half quality debayer. This kind of issues are why I always debayer using Redcine or Redalert, and then do grading on dpx or whatever codec/format of choice.
