Jittery footage
Hey everyone, just had a question about some jittery footage in Final Cut Pro.
The footage looks fine in the source window and everywhere else, but when I add it to the timeline it seems to have a “strobe” effect applied.
I’ve tried exporting the footage and some clips still have the jitters.
Any suggestions?

What are your sequence settings, and what are the properties of the clips you’re putting in that sequence? Sounds like you have a field order problem.

It’s only on selected clips, checking settings now.
Is there anything that would cause some clips to strobe and others not to?

Lighting could strobe footage, indoor fluorescent lighting for instance can flicker footage, Slow Shutter Speed … and like Jerry stated the fields can contribute to that as well.
If your settings are all correct and the Field Dominance matches your sequence settings … I would look into FurnaceCore’s Plug-In: DeFlicker Filter. For me it worked great.
Our issue was we shot a project in Australia and the lighting there runs differently than here. So when we came back to the States our editing bay saw the Fluorescent Flicker … FurnaceCore’s flicker filter was the best and easiest way to fix that.
Nothing else worked in the default effects of FCP or AE CS3.

It’s more of strobe or motion effect than a flicker. Looking for a solution within the settings, or atleast without adding any more plugins

Have you tried the Flicker Filter in FCP??? and maybe even the Shift Fields effect?? Or a combination of the 2??
