Fluorescent lights stripes
I received a stack of video files shot on a Canon 5D, in 1080p, 25fps.
Its shot in a factory where there have been fluorescent lights in the ceiling, multiple times with different blink rate, so many of the recordings got this “wave” on the screen, dark stripes that rolls down the screen, like in the old days when we shoot a computer monitor.
Know it’s a long shot, but there may be a filter that could alleviate this a bit?
Anyone??
Thanks

Both Boris Continuum and Genarts Sapphire have plugins to deal with this. Unfortunately you have to buy the whole suite…however the trial versions are fully functional for limited time. You can download the trial versions and play with it…though they don’t fix it in every instance.

great thanks,
Can u tell me what the filters are called?
Found Flicker Fixer from Boris, is that the one u mean?
And at genarts, is it the plugin or the suite or ?
thanks

Genarts Sapphire flicker remove is the thing to try on Sapphire
https://www.genarts.com/effects/sapphire#tabs-8But as John says its sometimes tricky to totally remove this kind of thing.
I think the trial lasts 2 weeks so you can give it a shot. If you need any longer you can rent the FX too.
best wishes

thanks again
know that I can never move it, but try to hide it a bit would be great, there is a limit for how fast one can edit to cover up, the client would like the picture to stand more than 1 sec each 😉

another way of thinking for sure, but does not works very well on this footage, all the stripes are dark, so if I try to limit the dark, thats a no go ..
the sapphire filter did not do the trick, Boris i got difficulties to find the right installer, but will defiantly give it a shot 😉

And don’t forget to give feedback to the camera person about using the right shutter speed to avoid the flicker. Perhaps they will help pay for the plugins to fix their operator error.

I managed to considerably reduce this black striping effect by crushing the blacks using the 3 Way Color Corrector. Try it – pull that black slider way down and the black stripes sorta get lost – at least partially.
