  • Weird flickering in progressive footage (Happens only in Sony Vegas Pro)

    Posted by Fernando Der-meguerditchian on September 15, 2012 at 3:05 pm

    Hello, this is my first post in the CreativeCOWs forum. I usually search for answers to my problems reading in this helpful forums from people that had the same issues as me, but this time i haven´t found anyone with the same inconvenience.

    I found a weird flickering issue in Sony Vegas Pro 11 (32bits) when i import the 720p MP4 videos from a Sony NEX3 camera, especially in low light conditions. When i preview the raw footage or render out a video it shows frames that look like they´ve been applied a noise reduction plugin (awful squashed image and less grain) and also they look more green tinted than normal. This happens every 2 frames approximately, giving an ugly look.

    I´ll try to upload jpgs that show the issue (i hope i got the uploading and embedding process right)

    Normal frame:

    Ugly frame:

    This does not happen when i view the videos in any player (WMP, MPClassic, VLC, Splash) or in other programs (After Effects, Premier Pro).

    Anyone might now what is happening?

    My PC is a Phenom II X4 955, with 4Gb DDR2 RAM and a Radeon 4850 and i´m running the program in Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

    Thanks in advance, and excuse my english, it´s not my natural language 🙂

    What am I looking for? They both look awful.

    Grazie

    Yeah, i know both look awful (it was a test shot for noise) 😉

    The thing is that (as show in the second picture) Vegas makes some kind of noise reduction on it´s own, showing every 2 frames the image with a green tint and even less detail, giving the footage a flickering look.

    Thanks for your time Graham!
