  • Ugly rolling-stripe effects the image

    I shot a concert recently and when I aimed my Canon 7D at certain bright lights, an ugly, mechanical rolling effect would cross along my image. Why did this happen? I’m really hoping there’s a trick in post-production or a plug-in available to erase this effect. Here is a short example video of the ugly effect in general: https://www.vimeo.com/20991346

    I’m afraid you will not be able to remove that.
    I thought I was going to see banding from flashes.
    That, looks like low light, slow shutter, pointing into lights.

    Yes an ugly artifact. Did you see it in the LCD?

    My guess is the lights are beating at a rate that is a mismatch to your shutter speed. It doesn’t look like rolling shutter which distorts verticals but it is strange. Fixing it? I can’t think of a FCP plugin that might help. It might be a laborious job in After Effects but hopefully others will have ideas.

    Thanks – it was LED lights I was pointing into.

    That looks like rolling shutter/jello cam to me. How loud was it right where you were? Seems to be a lot of camera shake, perhaps from blaring speakers?

    Maybe have a look at lock and load X. They say it might reduce rolling shutter.

    If not, I’d look to effect all of your video to match that one. Very Gondry-esque. 🙂
