Description

FieldsKit provides smarter deinterlacing and better workflow options for interlacing and pulldown.

At the heart of FieldsKit is FieldsKit Deinterlacer that deinterlaces video imagery with superior results. results. Using proprietary field reconstruction and adaptive motion techniques, FieldsKit Deinterlacer can build full frames from fields that are of much higher quality than the standard approaches available in most effects and video editing applications.

The FieldsKit Reinterlacer plugin allows you create interlaced material from progressive material using various techniques, including producing new fields using motion estimation techniques. The FieldsKit Pulldown plugin allows you to animate the pulldown phase for material that has multiple cadences in the same clip.

FieldsKit is a set of After Effects-compatible plugins designed to work in several host applications. (See Compatiblity page for exact compatiblity).

FieldsKit Deinterlacer

  • Options to build better-looking frames by looking at surrounding areas in order to reconstruct better edges.
  • Option to deinterlace using motion estimation.
  • Ability to only perform deinterlacing where there is motion in the scene (useful for locked-off camera shots).
  • Ability to blur in the vertical direction to reduce or eliminate flickering or crawling artifacts.
  • Ability to post-sharpen to help regain some of the detail lost when creating the deinterlaced frames.
[edit]

FieldsKit Reinterlacer

  • Create interlaced material from progressive material using motion estimation.
  • Ability to interlace frames from a progressive sequences. This is often useful for applications that do no support interlaced frame display (such as After Effects)
  • Ability to combine and blend fields to help reduce artifacts in interlaced material.
[edit]

FieldsKit Pulldown

  • Ability to remove and create pulldown.
  • Both traditional 3:2 and 3:2 PA pulldown supported
  • Ability to animate the phase of the pulldown menu for material that has multiple cadences in the original material. Note: Final Cut Pro does not support this feature because menus are not animatable within Final Cut Pro.

Known Issue: Note from RE:Vision Effects

Apple OS X 10.4.6 update may break our plugins. - Some of our users are having a problem after updating to Mac OS 10.4.6 when running our plugins. The error message will say something like "Can't load plugin, veclib missing", or "error in code fragment." The message varies depending on which host application you are running.

Turns out that there is a problem with the Mac OS 10.4.6 updater that removes a particular system file we rely on (the veclib.framework).

If you have updated to Mac OS X 10.4.6 and are seeing this problem with our plugins, then simply download and install the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo installer (not the simple updater), found here: Mac OS 10.4.6 Combo installer.

What to do if you are running FCP and after running the combo MacOS 10.4.6 installer you can successfully load RE:Vision Effects' plugins, but you get no parameter settings and black output frames.

First quit FCP. You need to remove the file "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache".

It's found in your home directory ( /Users/"your login account"), then go to the Library directory, then the Preferences directory, then the "Final Cut Pro User Data" directory.

It's a file that's built when FCP starts up and stores lots of things, like parameter for AE plugins. Because the first time you ran FCP our plugin didn't load, FCP *mistakenly* store no parameters for the plugin.

By deleting the file mentioned, FCP will then figure out what parameters our plugin(s) really need.

Warning: you may lose other preferences (but at this point, if you want to run our pugins, you don't have much of a choice... It's a bug with FCP, and this is the only fix). We think the file we are telling you delete is a fairly benign thing to do and you shouldn't lose any important prefs, however Apple doesn't tell us what is in each cache file for FCP.

If you are in a time crunch, then before deleting the "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" file you should make a copy of it and save it somewhere else, then delete it from the directory described above. If important prefs or other favorites go away then you can put the file back (however, if you put the file back then you can't run our plugins until you delete that file).
