Hey,

I’m not seeing BCC DeNoise as one of the effects. I’m running CS5. Is it only available on CS6?

Did you ever find a solution for this? I’m having the same problem using Pluraleyes 3 and FCP 7.0.3.

The merged clips in the Bin are completely out of sync.

I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear. I’m talking about about the playback settings in FCP under RT settings. I want to replicate those settings in my final export.

Nir,

It looks like we have a similar problem, although I don’t know how your footage ended up like that because it is outside. I was shooting under fluorescent lighting at 60fps in Europe. (I’ll never make that mistake again).

I still haven’t given my potential fix a go because the entire process seems so daunting. A plugin or script that did everything would be great, but I haven’t seen it yet.

Hey Jake,

What settings did you use in Magic bullet Denoiser? I’ve been messing around with it and it definitely works better than the Furnace plugin, but I’m still seeing some flicker. When I crank things up too high, my moving subject starts to jitter quite a bit.

Any thoughts?

I had another idea that would be a huge pain, but someone please let me know if you think this might work. I noticed that the flickering is caused by dark bands that run across the frame. The first frame has a dark band at the top and one in the middle. As you move through each frame, the bands transition down the shot and after the third frame, the pattern repeats itself. So… here is my thought:

-Export the sequence as a series of jpegs (each frame is a new jpeg)
-Use Photoshop to batch correct each frame, selectively using an exposure filter to lighten the dark bands
-The tricky part is that the band pattern changes. So I would need to apply one filter to the 1st frame, 4th frame, 7 frame, etc… another filter to the 2nd frame, 5th frame, 8th frame, etc… and another filter to the 3rd frame, 6th frame, 9th frame.
-Then create a new sequence with the edited jpeg frames.

Someone please tell me this is crazy and won’t work so I don’t waste hours giving it a shot.
