Help needed with flickering video

Questions & Answers
1

Hi guys .
Take a look at this shoot . Can you help me the best setting to get rid of the flicker that you can see in the vid .
Mavic Pro 1 . Never had this trouble with the Phantom Advanced .

At what res/fps did you record?

3

This was 4k at 25fps
Iso 100.
Shutter at 50 .ND filter .
Tried it a3 2.7k and not much better .

Yup - and you’ve rendered at 30fps … it has to invent those extra 5 frames every second by repeating every 5th frame, and that gives you that twitchiness.

Also - you’ve rendered at 1920x960 … which is one strange, and definition losing, resolution. Should be 1920x1080.

Its not the twitch it’s the flicker i am getting . I get it more noticeble when it’s close in on trees or grass .

I have to say I don’t see a flicker. At what time point are you seeing that?

7

Look at 2:21 when it’s panning up over the wall . The trees are flickering bad .

8

Also at 2:57 .

Not visible on laptop, but it is discernible if I cast it to my TV.

Is it apparent in the unedited video?

10

Same on the vid before editing .
If i am doing high shoots it never shows up .
As you can see in the opening shots over the village .

This could be some kind of moiré effect of the fine detail clashing with the sensor grid as it crosses it.

Other than that I don’t have any suggestions.

You are absolutely correct . I have just viewed it back on Mac book and no flicker .
So it must be my TV that is creating this flicker .
Thanks for jumping my brain in gear .
I have been scratching my head for ages over this matter .
