In this post, I answer questions regarding issues with flickering videos. I also mention a few useful tips that can help avoid flickering issues while shooting a video.
Questions:
"Hi, guys! I went to attend a stage show. I shot footage of the show using LED lights. But when I was reviewing the footage, I found out that it has flickering issues. I don't know what went wrong. Is there a method to fix it?"
"I recorded a video of a conference, attended last week. When I recorded the video, it looked ok in the viewfinder. But when I went to edit it, I find a lot of vertical flickering. Is there any way to correct this now?"
Flickering in video footage generally occurs when the shutter speed and frame-per-second (FPS) rate of the video, while recording, is close to the frequency, yet not the same (ideally the speed of shutter speed is approximately double the number of FPS that you are recording). Also, it depends on how much light is available while you shoot the video.
So, if you are experiencing a flickering issue in your videos, below are some tested solutions to solve the problem.
