- When shooting time-lapse,…flicker is kind of a typical problem,…particularly if you're dealing with the sun,…that keeps getting interrupted.…As a cloud passes in front,…it's going to block it temporarily,…and this can create instability in the lighting levels.…Even if shooting indoors under say, fluorescent lighting,…you might see shifting from one shot to the next.…Fortunately, there's a couple of ways of fixing this.…Now, this particular shot is suffering from flicker.…Not because of anything I did in camera,…but because of the lighting conditions that day.…
It was a fast-moving day with really high winds,…and the clouds were moving pretty briskly,…and there was a lot of cloud coverage.…Let's select the shot here,…and I'm going to choose Effect, Digital Anarchy, Flicker-Free.…This is a third-party Flicker filter,…that can remove flickering problems.…There's also another one from Granite Bay Software,…called GBD Flicker.…Both of them are worth you trying out a demo…to see which works best for you.…I'll try Flicker Free.…
