Greetings,
I'm having a problem with artifacts on a video i'm currently grading and colouring in AECS4 using Magic Bullet Colorista and Looks.
It seems that the video I started with has these artifacts embedded, even though it's uncompressed PAL footage exported from FCP.
Having realised the extent of it after grading, the director is kicking off at me to get it fixed!
Here's a frame of ungraded video
And a frame of graded video
I've given a more intense grade than the one I'm actually using, just to show what I'm talking about. The artifacting appears on the wall on the right the most:
I have tried MB Deartifactor to no avail, as well as masking out background and blurring etc - but this leaves me with a huge amount of roto to do. Grrr....
Can anyone shed light on why this might be happening in the first place, or perhaps how to do something about it?
Thanks,
Ed Giles
