What I have done so far:
In After Effects:
• Imported photo from Photoshop
• Animated its position from toes to head on the Timeline
• Rendered at Best Settings from within AE. Result too jerky, almost stobe-like, especially on diagonal edges of high contrast
• Recreated layer by adding Drift Over Time effect. Better, still jerky/strobey, but a little less so.
• On both layers, Motion Blur was turned onion general and on the layers themselves and enabled by the render settings.
• Motion Blur settings in the Advanced panel of the comp settings all maxed out except Shutter Angle, which just blurred the photo.
In Premier:
• Imported the rendered footage from AE
• Applied Warp Stabilizer effect. Settings: Smooth Motion, 100% Smoothness, Method: Subspace Warp. In Advanced: checked Detailed Analysis, Rolling Shutter Ripple, Enhanced Reduction.
Have all latest versions of software, on Mac OSX.7.5
This is the result. (it is a little sexy, but not porn or anything--barely PG-13, I'd say.) Watch in Full Screen Mode.
I think it is still rather jittery, especially on the diagonal lines of her thigh and hip.
Is there anything else i can do? (evidently, Frame Blending does not work on still photos.)
Thanks!
