Horizontal line flicker
Hi there,
I’m editing a short film shot on Sony XDCAM HD422 1080p25 (50mbs CBR).
I’m editing it all online off my Firewire 800 drive, and I keep seeing these flickering horizontal lines on playback. It’s different from interlaceed combing as it’s more spread out.It’s less obvious when I render it out but it’s still there.
Can anyone please tell me what this is and if it’s a problem?
Many thanks in advance,
Tabitha

Is the flickering on your external monitor or just the FCP edit screen?

It’s just on my Computer screen. Sadly I dont have access to an external monitor yet.

If you set your Canvas to 100% it gives a more accurate display to see if the flicker is a problem or just a display artifact

Thanks, but I’ve set the canvas to 100% and the flickering/tearing is still there.
The footage is progressive and my sequence settings seem to be set up correctly with field dominance set to “none”. I don’t know what else to do and I’m a bit worried now.
Any suggestions?

Why do you have to render? Do your sequence settings match the camera codec?
-
The flicker may come from the very picture is there are very thin horizontal detail.
Try the “De-flicker” with the default setting.

Yes my sequence settings match the camera codec exactly.
I get the same horizontal lines/tearing in the original files played back in Quicktime too.
The files are XDCAM HD422 1080p25. -
Hi, I tried the flicker filter as you suggested, but it did nothing.
