Software Description:
Flicker Free is a powerful new way to deflickervideo. It solves an issue that’s common for many types of videofootage, be it from lights/electricity and cameras being out ofsync, time lapse or slow motion (high frame rate) video. TheFlicker Free plugin is very effective at removing rolling flickerthat occurs with LED & fluorescent lights or computermonitors.
Flicker Free was originally designed to fix the flicker caused byvarying exposures in time lapse videography. However, once wedeveloped it, we discovered there are many reasons for flicker andthat Flicker Free does a great job on most of them.
As with all Digital Anarchy plugins and products, we strive tocreate intuitive software that produces exceptional results whileremaining dead simple to use. Check out the demo reel below forsome great examples and take a look at the Features page tounderstand how Flicker Free will benefit you!
Presets for an Easy Workflow
They make it easy to get the right settings very quickly, withoutreading a huge manual. Plugins should just work.
There are several presets for different types of video footage.These are settings we’ve found to work well in our tests. At best,they’ll instantly solve your flicker problems! (this happens a lot…so try one of the presets, it may be all you need to do) Otherwise,they provide a good starting point and you shouldn’t need to maketoo many tweaks. Every piece of video footage is different, ofcourse, but the types of flicker tend to be the same. So thepresets usually work quite well.
Easy to Understand
Video plugins should make your life easier. The software should bedoing the hard work behind the scenes so you can get work donequickly without watching hours of training videos. Flicker Free isa critical video plugin when you have footage with flickerproblems, but hopefully you won’t need all the time. It’s good toknow you can just pull it out of your toolbox and it’ll just work.There’s no need to re-learn complicated parameters every time youuse it.
Analyzes on the Fly
Flicker Free doesn’t require any ‘pre-analysis’ to work. Just applyit to your footage, render a couple seconds as a test and you’reready to render your entire project. It analyzes the frames as it’srendering so you don’t have to wait around before you can get towork.
Deflicker Time Lapse Footage
A time lapse video requires taking a photo every 1 second or 1 hourand combining them to make the video. This can result in beautifulvideos, but the problem is that the lighting changes. This causesthe camera to adjust the exposure and you get flicker. Flicker Freewas designed to deal with Time Lapse flicker and works beautifullyon it.
Slow Motion Footage
Many lights will cause flicker in slow motion footage. Normallights running on AC (Alternating Current) can fluctuate inbrightness as the electricity fluctuates (the ‘alternating’ in AC).These fluctuations in brightness can affect your footage if thecamera is shooting 120fps or faster. The higher the frame rate ofthe footage the more apparent it is. This can happen regardless ofwhether you’re shooing with a Phantom Flex, Sony FS700U or GoProHERO3 Black (shoots 240fps).
LED Lights
Most people don’t realize that many LED lights have a refresh ratesimilar to that of a computer monitor. If you’re camera isn’t insync with the refresh rate, you’ll get rolling bands going throughyour video.
Archival Footage
If you’re restoring older footage, flicker comes from a fewsources. 1) The film may have degraded over time, 2) The camera washand cranked making it difficult to maintain a consistent exposureover the course of the shot, and 3) older lights were more prone toflickering.
If the problem comes from Exposure, which would’ve been in theoriginal, then it’s a similar problem to time lapse. It effects thewhole frame and should be easy for Flicker Free to fix. It’ll lookbetter than it ever did!
