GH2 crap venue lighting

I had CCD footage from the same venue and it suffered too albeit much less obvious. I've looked at Boris and it's available as an After Effects plug in, there's no interface to have to use you just drop the effect on the timeline. It's a solution I'll seriously consider.

The standard 'Frame Analysis" option never seems to work. You have to use temporal smoothing and that really mucks up the frames - blurring them all together.
 
Just reading through this. CCD or cmos is not the issue under the lighting. To eliminate you need to be able to adjust the shutter in fine increments to match the Hz frequency of the lighting. This is often referred to as Syncro or Clear scan, but the principle is same. For example the AF100 has Syncro Scan as does the F3 and C300 however the FS100 does not - just for reference.

I did notice this, there was some ghosting, there are parameters where you can all but eliminate the blur. There's a fine line though between eliminating the motion blur versus eliminating the flicker. I only tried it out to get a feel for it as a potential solution so I'm no expert. The colour slider I found immediately effective at reducing the blur taking it from 100% down to 50%.
 
I still think my microcontroller thing will work - however it will require most likely a complete rewire of the lighting setup to all run of one DC supply, each DC supply to each LED light is controller via the main system powersupply. It will not really work with high shutter speeds but at least for the lower ones it MIGHT work..maybe almost probably. Come to think of it, I image you might now have a very slightly noticeable flicker than "runs" around the room.....NOPE! I reject reality! :grin:

I was actually wondering about that - as well as the boris solution I'll be taking my AF100 along the next time I shoot there.
