I'm working with footage captured from a game engine on a Mac. When the graphics processing get's intense the graphics card struggles to keep up. What ends up happening is that the card continues to output every frame (e.g., it does not skip frames) but is only able to do so at a reduced pace - say, five frames a second. The screen cap software just captures at a predetermined rate - say, thirty frames per second. The result is that the captured clip has loads of sequential duplicate frames. The good thing is that since no frames were skipped you get a buttery-smooth playback if you manually (tediously) remove every single duped frame.
So, is there any tool that will automate this process? There is a script that does exactly what I need called Duplicate Frame Remover available at Duplicate Frame Remover - aescripts + aeplugins - aescripts.com but sadly, this script is not compatible with After Effects CC. Can anyone think of any other option for After Effects or Premiere? Ideally this would cut out the audio for the duped frames as well.
Thanks,
Hales
