I think it has something to do with interframe codecs (think AVCHD, H264, etc.) although others have reported similar problems with intraframe codecs. The flicker bug in Shadow/Highlight has been affecting a subset of users now for years. I'm working on writing up a summary of what other users have reported. Actually in my original post (on the other forum) I mentioned that I would be submitting all this to Adobe. Hope you get your fix in an upcoming version. I try to monitor posts, but I am only one guy and can't get to everything all the time. The forums are chiefly user to user based with sporadic participation from most Adobe employees. Calling out "Hey Adobe" to us here won't help much. If you want to direct "Adobe" to fix a bug, again, the bug report/feature request form is the best way to communicate with us for those items. Summary: Adobe please, please fix this, there isn't a direct alternative, even from 3rd-party vendors. You can file a separate feature request (same form) for any improvements you'd like to see with Lumetri Color workflow. Geez, really?).Īnyway, I would recommend that you file the pertinent findings you have in a bug report so that it will be read by our product manager and/or our product designer.
PROBLEM WITH FLICKER PREMIERE CRACK
Thanks (except for that crack about support. I've produced a post on a different forum, comparing various shadow/highlight methods and alternatives: So thanks this, now I am also sure my footage is correct and finally understanding some of main knowledge about picture If it is balanced and repaired and normalized, than you can use second FX chain and use HIGHLIGHT/SHADOWS with no problems.Įverything what is over causing problems. It is important to correct the levels, I mean clipping of footage. With dynamic videos, try to automatize color plugin, it can repair whole footage without splitting to other tracks It is important to have whole footage normalized, sometimes, different picture making some problems, in this case, split clip and make a new track with different SA COLOR FINESSE setiings On the LEVELS TAB use black and white point and little increase highlight recovery It removes shadows and higlight clipping / peaking, which is causing flickering / flashing of SHADOW/HIGHLIGHT effect. Try to use SA COLOR FINESSE first, let´s take a look on meters on LUMA WFM. Even the LEVELS i recommended doesn´t work at all cases.īut i found definitelly right answer. I tried all of them and problem was still there.Ĭuz I really want to use this great plugin, I am still finding the way. But, try my work-around in the meantime, I think you'll be pleased.Ĭhanging format doesn´t matter. This has worked for me on dozens of shots that had bad pulsing before.Īdobe could easily program the Shadow/Highlight function to apply Clipping first using Temporal Smoothing and then apply the rest of the parameters normally (hey, I'm available for hire if they're interested :^)). Now, the nature of Shadow/Highlight is that most of the parameters take effect based on image content, so there is still a potential for changes during a shot (the pulsing we see), but it appears that once Auto Contrast has evened out every frame via clipping, the other parameters take effect more evenly and so I don't see pulsing. Then apply Shadow/Highlight, being sure that the Black and White Clip values are less than what you set in Auto Contrast (zero is safest, but the default of 0.01 is just fine, too). The best work-around I've found is to first do clipping via the Auto Contrast effect, which has the Temporal Smoothing parameter that's always enabled.
PROBLEM WITH FLICKER PREMIERE MANUAL
What we really need is the ability to set Temporal Smoothing even in Manual Mode. Therefore, since the Clipping effects are image dependent, we get pulsing if the video image changes enough during the shot. So Black Clip doesn't change the first image much, but it changes the second image a lot. However, if another image doesn't have any very dark pixels, then in order to clip 1% of whatever the darkest pixels are, it'll have to bring the image levels down quite a bit to make 1% of the pixels zero. Take Black Clip: if one image has some very dark pixels already then a 1% Black Clip won't do that much to the image (it could be that 1% of the pixels are already zero). That's because the values we specify are percentages of pixels to clip. Given two different images, the same values for Black Clip/White Clip will have different effects.In Manual Mode, we cannot use Temporal Smoothing since it's disabled.

I've been trying different things for a while and believe I've figured out not only what's going on, but how to "fix" it:
