Trouble Shooting a Flickery Source: Help

[alan lukatela]

i'm shooting on an aircraft which has LED sources which have a frequency of 166hz.

is there anything i can try on a Dragon to avoid the rolling flicker / banding?

i have tried all frame rates and shutter angles to no avail, will try the motion mount

next but i suspect we will have to kill the LED source in favour of something constant.


please let me know if you have any thoughts.

thanks.

Digital Anarchy has some de-flicker tools for Nuke, but they're not cheap and not simple:

Your best bet is to kill the LED and use another light source.

alan, try to enter the shutter speed manually, using 1/x rather than angles.

Sorry I don't have time to look it up but there is a very comprehensive thread somewhere on Reduser, I read it a couple of months ago.
