Question

"Rolling Shutter Repair" is broken?

Hello all,

 

I've noticed that I'm having problems using the Rolling Shutter Repair plugin.

 

For some reason when I apply it to a clip, instead of applying the effect as expected, the clip shows the first frame of the video file - regardless of the actual "in" point on the timeline - and holds there for the entire clip duration. When I create preview renders or Export the final video, the rendered version does the same thing.

 

A little part of me says the plugin did the same thing way back when I was using CS6, but maybe my memory's just playing tricks on me.

 

Is there any way this can be fixed?

 

If it helps, my relevant system specs are:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

32Gb RAM

Nvidia RTX 3070

Media and preview renders/scratch disks stored on an SSD

Project File stored on a HDD

I am not seeing it, EBalma. Sorry. However, I have a different issue: I cannot add the effect as a Source effect at all, but other effects can be added. Odd. Perhaps certain effects cannot be added as Source effects. I'll look into it. 

 

Can anyone else in the community reproduce this issue? Please try it out and provide your feedback. EBalma, can you test with alternate media? Let us know if you have different results. Try the beta version out, as well. Often, a bug (if there is one) gets fixed there first.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Interesting - I have had some odd results.

 

First, I rendered the video file in question and four others into five different formats each, and ran Rolling Shutter Repair on all 25 in a different project.  This time, the plugin worked fine on all clips.

 

Next, I returned to my original project file and ran "Render and Replace" on the clip to convert it to GoPro Cineform, then applied Rolling Shutter Repair. It "froze" again, but this time held on a different point and the video started playing again halfway through.

 

Finally, I returned to an alternate project file and imported the original video file, then ran Rolling Shutter Repair on it and it worked fine there!

 

Would all of this suggest there is something wrong with my project file?

Hi,

Sorry about that. You can verify a project-specific problem if the effect works fine on the same clip in a new project. Importing sequences and clips into a new project can often squash these bugs. I hope the advice helps. There are no current bugs related to Rolling Shutter currently reported by customers in User Voice or in our internal database, for what it's worth.

 

Thanks,
Kevin
