Pulsing LED screens in shot
Canon 5D Mkii
Pro res 422 1920/1080
cutting in FCPI have been shooting in an apartment with a nightmare of different LED lights, Screens, and other strange bulbs that were giving us grief, some at 50hz, some at 60hz in the same room!.
We knew on the day it was happening and corrected most of it by changing the shutter but some combinations just couldn’t be corrected. On these occasions I opted to shoot with the TV’s flickering as I can cut around it or replace them in post rather than the lights effecting the whole room.
However does anyone know of a simple fix / plugin / filter that can help. I’d prefer not to have to track them and replace.
thanks

You can only sync a camera to one frequency at a time, so if there are a number of devices at different frequencies you’ll have to choose which device is most important or offensive.
With HDSLRs you don’t have clear scan, (infinitely variable shutter speed) as in oregular video cameras, so you are limited to syncing only to devices that have the same frequencies as your shutter speed.

Hi Phil – thanks – I chose to sync to the lights and I can replace the tv screens but was wondering if there was a workaround as I would prefer not to have to track a non locked off shot.
