Tv’s and Computer Monitors on Video
I know this has been probably asked a million times, but how can I avoid Tv and computer monitor scrolling (if that’s the right word) within my video footage?
Thanks!

Three ways that I know of. One is to use LCDs instead of TVs, although TVs shouldn’t be an issue.
Another is a camcorder with a variable shutter. This feature is sometimes called clearscan, amongst other things, and allows the camera’s shutter to be set to the monitor’s exact scan rate.
Lastly, if it’s a computer monitor, try to set the frame rate to 60 Hz. It may not help but it’s worth a try. -
NOTE: It is a computer monitor.

“NOTE: It is a computer monitor.”
In that case, substituting an LCD panel (if at all possible) is the quickest and easiest solution.

It’s a computer lab., so the LCD/s won’t work due to what is available.
Thanks again.

Filming monitors is hard. I have had some success with a variable shutter cam, point it at the monitor, change the shutter speed until it stops rolling. It doesn’t always work perfectly, if at all.
My recommendation for getting stuff off the monitor is to use a screen-capture program like Camtasia which can capture to AVI. You can then drop that onto the timeline. If you need to have the monitor show as a monitor however and not just it’s content, this will not work.

All I need to do is pan across the room. I don’t need anything off from the monitor/s. Although, I will have to say it is a visual experience looking at 22 monitors flickering in sync. at the same time.
