Even if I bring my original HDV broll in to a SD project I get that flicker. I have need right now to only export to DVCPRO tape. I just tried a option that seemed to help a little and that is that I click on the clip in the timeline go to the menu bar on top and click on clip> Video Options> Field options and select interlace consecutive frames. I think this help some to reduce the flicker. I have looked at this footage so long that my eyes are tired, so try this your self and let me know what you think. I also noticed on a soap opera on TV right now that they have some of that same “flicker”, in my eyes it is not a “Film” flicker it is a nasty down conversion flicker. Maybe this is just something I can’t get away from using HDV but I sure wish there was a fix.
