  • GPU processing was ignored in Premiere

New in DEFlicker for After Effects 2.0.1 (Nov 10, 2020)

  • Plugins were crashing on some Windows machines - ignore this build, goto 2.0.2

New in DEFlicker for After Effects 2.0 (Nov 10, 2020)

  • HighSpeed: Noise Reduction: spatial denoise – the method implemented was based on early testing. We switched to another method more appropriate for high-speed video typical noise.
  • HighSpeed: Method 5: Noise Clean methods – Method 4 and 5 were very redundant, we switched Method 5 to a mix between old method 5 and method 1 which works better for larger motion.
  • HighSpeed: Alpha Handling: It was requested that we handle clips with a non-full alpha (for example to deflicker greenscreen originated material), done – you do need to press Alpha Handling button
  • HighSpeed: Timing: We now provide a different option for defining the time window. In V1, you could only set a radius (so an odd number of frames). We realize playing with 480/960 FPS material that sometimes you get slightly better results with an even number of frames – when it’s a multiple of the electrical power rate. (e.g. 960 FPS – 60 Hz). A new Rate option was added.
  • HighSpeed: Gamma: AE you can now change project settings Linearize Workspace and Color Working Space and get approximatively the same result. In Premiere gamma is always 2.4.
  • HighSpeed: Gamma Adjust – gamma slider REMOVED (this was there for testing initially, no real value within tool). Old projects will still have that value applied, but this parameter is now invisible
  • HighSpeed: A project saved with V2 might load in a project using V1 but the effect might need to be edited. V1 projects using Noise value not at 0.0 and Method 5. will get different results. In the latter case maybe better, yet still different.
  • Timelapse Contrast slider REMOVED, had no real purpose here, should be done after for best control (for example, use RE:Grade or your app built-in tools).
  • Old projects will still have that value applied so you can render them, but this parameter is now invisible.
  • Timelapse: Support for video over-range values (no more clipping)
  • Timelapse: Issue with LAB mode processing becoming too blue fixed
  • Timelapse: Additional controls to filter out undesirable over-saturated blotches (Max Deviation) - there is now Max Color Changes (0-100, where 0 is luminance only) and Max Deviation that limits the effect a single frame can have.
  • Timelapse: Added a fifth method that matches to key-frames, good for landscape timelapses with alternating sun level and rolling clouds
  • Timelapse: Internal handling of gamma, you can now change project settings Linearize Workspace and Color Working Space and get approximatively the same result.
  • Auto-Levels: Filter Out Frames: Now has a menu, we added a Merge versus Flow-Warp option which sometimes works better - menu also adds Blend only mode and Copy Nearest
  • Rolling Bands: New in V2, a tool dedicated to attenuate the annoying effect of slow rolling bands produced by (rolling) shutter speed mismatch with artificial lighting.
  • GPU acceleration: Up to 10% faster in Windows version

New in DEFlicker for After Effects 1.7.1 (Nov 10, 2020)

  • DE:Flicker Timelapse: Processing in LAB Space produced the wrong results

New in DEFlicker for After Effects 1.7 (Oct 10, 2019)

  • DEFLicker AutoLevels (PREMIERE ONLY): fixes a problem where the end of sequence could fade to black inappropriately.

New in DEFlicker for After Effects 1.4.12 (Nov 28, 2017)

  • DEFlicker Timelapse - now makes a keyframe when you press the Add button and the parameter was not set to animated (the hourglass checkbox).
  • DEFlicker Timelapse and HighSpeed: Fixes a problem in Premiere when a sequence was not matching source footage in resolution, the plugin did nothing instead of notifying users with an orange frame.
  • DEFlicker Timelapse and HighSpeed: fixes a problem where the last frame could exhibit unwanted artifacts.

New in DEFlicker for After Effects 1.4.11 (May 19, 2017)

New in DEFlicker for After Effects 1.4.8 (Oct 8, 2016)

  • Timelapse and HighSpeed: Fixes an issue where an error message was inappropriately displayed when AE time remapping is used to freeze frames. This problem could even necessitate a restart of AE.
  • Added an update checker for future version updating. The update check runs on the local machine, and must be manually run.

New in DEFlicker for After Effects 1.4.3 (Nov 10, 2015)

  • Fixes a crashing bug in Premiere Pro.
  • Fixes a bug that Premiere Pro 9.0.2 introduced when processing floating point images. The only solution is that DE:FLicker now works only in 8 bits per channel within 9.0.2. This does not affect other versions of Premiere Pro.

  • Adds Premiere Pro support
  • Within Premiere Pro users can see utilization of two or more GPUs at the same time, provided they are the fastest GPUs on the machine, and are of the exact same type. Unfortunately while we support GPU acceleration in AE, multiple GPU support for After Effects is not yet available
  • DE:Flicker High Speed: Fixed an issue with Gamma control (GPU only)
  • DE:Flicker Timelapse: Fixed an issue when applied to videos with color values less than 0 or greather than 1, including YUV encoded movies (GPU only).

  • DE:Flicker High Speed is accelerated up to 6.5x using GPU setting.
  • DE:Flicker Timelapse will not see much acceleration unless your GPU is much newer than your CPU cores.
  • DE:Flicker Auto Levels does not have GPU option, because GPU does not accelerate this plug-in.
