Seth! Holy Cow — that works incredibly well!
Yesterday, client gave me an interview shot under 50hz fluorescents, with a 1/60th shutter speed, also a lot of outside light coming in windows which toned down the flicker a bit, but it was still quite noticeable. Tried 4 tracks at 25-50-75-100% opacity — worked great with some motion blurring. Three tracks at 33-66-100% also worked great and lessened motion artifacts. So I tried just two tracks, 50-100% — and even THAT took care of the flicker, with minimal motion artifacts in my opinion.
Can’t wait until someone gives me a similar shot, only without the outside window light, to see how well your trick works with really obnoxious flicker! (Since half of Japan runs the electric at 50Hz, flicker filled video is a constant problem here.)
Many, many thanks.
