Horizontal Banding In Footage
I’m using Premiere Pro CS6, and I have a short clip where I have added two different shots side by side. Each are fine when played by themselves, or if one is disabled while the other plays, but when they play together, I get dark, flickering horizontal banding. I can’t seem to find anything out there that helps – I’ve tried grain, noise, de-interlacing….nothing seems to be helping.
Here is a frame without the striping:

It’s very subtle from the images, but it’s very obvious and distracting with video. Any help you can give would be great! I’m just starting out in video production. Thanks!

Does it actually “flicker”? There is a plug in called Re:Vision DeFlicker that might help.
Go here and watch the demo video. It will probably show you whether it might help or not. I’m thinking maybe not since it’s not the video that has the banding, but what you’re doing with the video that’s causing it. Anyway, check out the demo vid if you want.

The bands themselves flicker. I forgot to mention I tried the field option for flicker removal and that didn’t do anything either. I might just have to nix the design, but thought I would try here (I can’t pony up the $250 for DEFlicker for this project :p ).

I can’t see anything from those images. Can you post a video of what is happening?

Don’t give up. I’m not the be all and end all of help here, by any means. Tero knows his stuff. And he’s right, the pictures look identical. Put up a short video of the effect you’re getting and put a link here. OK I’m outta here. My work is done 😉

There is a very slight – yet visible – darkening across the bottom of the wood floor in the second image.

So here’s the clip itself, you can see the banding much better in this: 10437_trailer.mp4.zip

I have deFlicker. I downloaded your sample. I’m encoding something right now but tomorrow morning I’ll open your clip in PPro and apply deFlicker and see if it fixes the problem. The only flickering I see is on the right side at the bottom, right? I’ll post back here after I’m done, sometime tomorrow morning.

Ahh, thank you, Duke!!

If the original footage is not flickering then it has probably something to do with the sequence and using an effect to minimize that would be pretty weird. Do you have any effects on the clips? Do you have the Mercury Playback engine set to GPU accelerated or software? Sequence settings? Export settings?

MIght want to turn off Composite in linear Color (Sequence Settings).
