Mike Huetz shows a simple rolling shutter fix on some Nikon D90 footage using After Effects without third party plug ins. In actuality, this technique would work for any video shot with a camera that had a rolling shutter, not just Nikon D90 footage. -Rendering is a little slow, however, it is a free solution.

For a solution that entails less effort, The Foundry provides a plugin for After Effects called Rolling Shutter that tidily takes care of the artefacts. It is not cheap though with a price point of a few hundred dollars… not much for a production, but it sort of excludes the hobbyists.

Whatup? Here’s my tutorial for eliminating the jello effect caused by CMOS’s rolling shutter.

This tutorial is set up using Nikon D90 footage (720, 24fps) so you might have to adjust the speed up percentage for your footage. The render times are pretty long, but it works well. (Harper helped a little.)

    That’s a nice trick! However, it is only a global solution that won’t work for a lot of shots. Nuke”s plugin attempts to correct things that are skewed locally and relative to the camera, like a vehicle moving past street signs.
