Fluorescent tubing flicker
I got some footage that has that gross Fluorescent tube flicker and I need to reduce it as best I can in post. I tried the flicker filter in FCP but not very satisfied.
Any amazing tricks that people might know of?

The flicker filter in FCP is more for fine detail that buzzes on a monitor. I really just blurs the footage.
I’ve never found a good way of fixing problems like that.

After Effects Stabilize Color will handle the job but it could take forever to render.
Motion Blur in FCP will help but at the cost of imposing some, umm, blur. But it will tend to average out the frames.
There are other methods. In the olden days, we brought 30fps interlaced footage into a 60fps progressive comp in AE. This made every field a full frame. Running frame-averaging filters had a more subtle effect when the rendered 60fps movie was brought into a 30fps comp.
Dunno if it will still work, I haven’t tried any of that stuff in several years.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Shake has a de-flicker node, but I’ve never used it — I think its mostly for evening-out time-lapse.
