Sapphire DeFlicker in Symphony?

[John Pale]

I’ve had much better results with the BCC filter that does the same thing. You got it free with symphony.

Some how this symphony doesn’t have BCC. I found a work around. I simply removed the frames with the higher luminance causing the flicker, and timewarped the clip to match the motion and timing of the original. Looks good. Thanks for the BCC tip. I’ll try when I can BCC again.

You are entitled to the BCC suite (Boris continuum). It’s a separate install. You can download it from Avid’s website.

Glad it worked out.

Note that both the sapphire and BCC flicker fix filters have several modes to try to remove the flicker, so you need to play with it a bit and use their help/manuals, as the controls are not that obvious. I’ve always had better luck with BCC than Sapphire for this, though the Sapphire filters are excellent in general, and mostly superior to the BCC.
