  • Lights (voltage) fluctuated in a few frames of a shot (video clip)

    Posted by Steve Marce on September 11, 2016 at 8:39 pm

    While taking my shot the lights/voltage might have fluctuated for a fraction of a second and so it went unnoticed during the shoot… and now I’m in the post production phase and the fluctuation is visible in the shot; as in, a few frames are a little darker than the rest coz the lights went a little dim during the fluctuation…
    The entire shot is amazing but there is this few frames that are a little darker in the clip… How to fix it..? Any help would be greatly appreciated… There’s no way to capture it again…

    Best,
    Steve

    Thank you Dave.
    Well yeah i know suggesting a solution without actually seeing the footage is kinda tough and it sure is dangerous..
    But is rotoscoping the only solution..? Can’t we enhance the illumination somehow..?

    Best,
    Steve

    Post a private Vimeo link of the shot. We’d only need to see five seconds of the clip to give you better advice. Otherwise we’re all just spouting extremely general info.

    Dave, without having used the newest version of PP (since you constantly remind everyone around here that you’re using older versions for stability) you probably haven’t worked with PP’s new masking and tracking utilities that might make this possible. If it can be done with a couple of keyframes and a quick mask in PP, Steve might be able to save a lot of time.

    Post the clip, Steve. Asking for help without showing us the problem is like asking a mechanic to examine your car while wearing a blindfold.

    Best of luck. I’ve been pretty happy with the updates, and haven’t run into anything worse than some indecipherable but workaround-able changeups of the way PP handles stereo vs. mono audio panning.
