If I understand correctly, you are using the video mode on a digital still camera and transferring the video to the computer via USB cable. If that is correct than that is the highest quality you are going to get going this route. I would suggest using a digital video camera that has a firewire out option and ingest the video into a Non-Linear editing program, such as Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro.

The pixelization could be coming from how the video was ingested to the system (ie. captured via firewire, thru SDI, etc.), there are a lot of factors in capturing good quality video. What camera to use? That’s a loaded question, depends on the project. Try recapturing your video using the highest quality settings in your NLE.

Hi there, I need a little more description from you, do you want the effect across the whole screen as if the camera flash is from the camera’s point of view, or are we talking about someone facing a bunch of papparazzi with a hundred flashes going off from multiple directions? A simple technique I’ve used before is a solid white layer that is up for one frame with a 5 frame dissolve, add a sound effect to sell the illusion. Goodluck!
