for tv shows, a 1 khz wave 3x with a small O lower right. beep, beep boop, every 1 second then 4th second is record. This builds a working tempo both visually and aurally so they don’t jump in too soon or too late. often we don’t even use a visual symbol. most actors are good with the beeps. BEEP!

changing color gives a subconscious drag race effect and creates stuttering. imho.
a small tip, don’t blind the actor with a bright picture. they will be staring at it a lot.

try izotrope rx 6 advanced. they used machine learning to develop algorithms that used to be impossible to fix. then you can be called the “miracle worker” like scotty.

and re-recording for spec will help build client base.
here’s your first client. good luck.

you will get replies if you post 10 sec. downloadable examples so that professionals don’t waste time on possible lost causes.

I agree. You can also try other methods like noise gate(if crowd is quieter) or even izotrope rx6 with its new advanced voice separator.
as with all audio effects, start them with minimum settings in multiple passes. once you hear distortion, just undo the last apply.

if you align them for pincushion and transform size, use the blending mode color .

thanks for posting the solution. also, keywords ‘jaggies’, or ‘low quality’ would have helped. a small pic isn’t going to give interlacing away unless its blown up 800%. I only brought up the gamma issue because your screenshots have varying gamma. the window gets blown out. that’s not from interlacing.

[Chris Wright]

where are you screenshotting the RAW from? or the exported prores? premiere uses 0-255 sRGB. any video player that doesn’t match premiere is not using opengl api drivers. also, your gfx card might have settings called 16-236 or 0-255. vlc player can match premiere if you set its renderer to opengl. if you import the media back into premiere, does it change?

“The raw footage doesn’t appear to have any banding, or much at all.”
you’ll need to reply when you start seeing it. max bit depth enabled in premiere sequence; rendered seq; exported media 8/10 bit. luts used, effects used; uploaded as recompressed video;etc…

there is the GH5 that has 10 bit but it remains to be seen if its 10 bit actually helps much as it uses very compressed media.

[Chris Wright]

declip, declick, click/pop, parametric equalizer and multiband compression are your friend. heck, if its that annoying, you can pitch shift them!

[Chris Wright]

in audition, run declicker, then remove pop with noise reduction click/pop eliminator. you’ll have to select the bad areas manually then slide detect full left for most controls. its easier to just use heal brush ctrl+u on the transients at this point.

or try izotope rx deplosive is way easier to use and one click fix.
