Ae/Pr/Sg effect to auto-correct fluctuating Y-levels?
Is there an effect within any of the Adobe CS6 applications that will automatically stabilize fluctuating luminance? I am working with footage that looks like the camera’s auto-brightness setting was oscillating back and forth every 4-8 frames for about 300 frames. My method thus far has been to keyframe the black/white/grey levels. The clip looks better, but progress is very slow. Is there a better/faster approach than manually adjusting a few hundred frames?

Are you doing it per clip or on an adjustment layer?
if you can do it on an adjustment layer and set attributes of the effect to scale with the layer….
then you could start with one layer and simply split it up and/or trim as necessary to adjust the timing….
maybe?

Thank you for the reply, Alex. I was applying the effect directly to the clip. I will try the adjustment layer approach as you suggested.

You could try the Auto Levels effect [link], the Color Stabilizer effect [link], or Chris Wright’s free auto white balance/auto exposure project [link].
GenArts Sapphire for AE [link] has some nice flicker removal tools, too.
