  Removing the flicker from digital clock

  Posted by S. Marcotte on February 7, 2007 at 8:43 pm

  Any ideas on how to remove the flickering from a digital clock in close-up. My footage is in DVCPRO50.

  What if I simply loop a single frame, say, the brightest frame I can find? What will that look like projected on a big screen? Will it look like a single frame looped (like a freeze frame) or will it look like a plain close up shot as if the camera were running?

  Back in my 16mm days, it was ill-advised to loop a single frame in post. Had to keep the grain moving, even in a freeze frame. Is there such a thing as “pixel movement”, however subtle, that would betray the loop? I’m new to video, obviously.

  Warm regards,
  Serge

  Try the new frame blending option in AE 7…. It is pixel based and should help with this. You need to click twice in the frame blend box to get the one I am talking about.
