Hi!
I have some flickering in some of my videos, which seem to often appear by 1/60, why?
thx
Dumas
You live outside of North America/Japan.
No, I live in Europe. The shots where taken in my holidays in France. I shot at 1/60.
At http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?p=1790420&posted=1#post1790420 I got recommanded that I should shoot at 1/60....
Is there a way to render those flickering out in post processing!?
thx

This may come as somewhat of a surprise to you, but last time I checked Europe is outside of North America/Japan.
I shot at 1/60.
You shot at 1/60th of a second, the whole of Europe has it's electricity cycling at 50hz (including the lights - all the lights, indoors and out) - this is your problem.
The shutter speed is clashing with the (refresh rate of the) lights.

All I can see on that thread is a conflation of shutter speed and frame rate - a lack of awareness of power cycles in different broadcast standard regions - a general helping of confusion and erroneous advice as well as opinion masquerading as fact - all resulting in poor advice !

Practicably, no.
In theory and with lots and lots of manual - frame by frame - adjusting, possibly - but it would be an absolute nightmare of a job.
