Shane, you and this app just saved me dozens of man hours a month. It works great! Thanks a ton!

Thanks Shane, I’ll definitely give this a try. Just in case, do you know if there are any other similar apps or programs out there in case this one doesn’t work for me?

Max,

I did. There’s a great plug-in called FurnaceCore. You can find it here:

https://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/furnacecore/

You can get a free 15-day trial, and if you want to buy it, I picked it up from motionmedia.com. It was a life saver for me…it got rid of absolutely ALL of the flicker, on static shots, motion shots, multiple light sources, everything. It was really pretty incredible. I tried a couple of other plug-ins, but nothing worked quite as well. Only warning: it requires an incredible amount of render time (you’ll want to use the “use motion” feature in the plug-in settings, otherwise you’ll get nasty artifacts. And you’ll need to adjust some settings in the first place to get it to work). A half hour raw tape told me 7 days to render. So schedule accordingly!! But it does work wonders.

Hope this helps.

Dear Forum,

I on the other hand, am experiencing the opposite problem…my shooter didn’t account for shutter speed when we were in Europe filming NTSC standard. Been trying the GenArts Sapphire plug-in on a demo, which seems to be working well so far. Anyone got a tried and true method to get rid of flicker? (To the previous poster, you’re exactly right about the source of the problem: indoor, under flourescents with no additional light, it’s the worst then.) Ideas?!
