Anyone know?

Does anyone know how to get rid of the strobe like effect that comes when using a DVX 100 Panasonic camera? I hate that strobe like image, and I was wondering if I can get rid of it using a native FCP effect like slowing it down or frame blending on AE? Anyone have any thoughts?

Are you shooting 24p or 24pa?

Stop shooting in Progressive (frame) Mode.



When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

If you are using 24fps format get Graeme's standards conversion filter it does a better job of pulldown than fcp on its own...

The answer lies in not shooting PROGRESSIVE, but rather interlaced. If you do shoot Progressive, then make sure you PAN SLOWLY | ZOOM SLOWLY etc.. You see, instead of 2 different fields per frame, both fields look the same, so the changes between frames are more apparent. This is seen when you pan too fast. you get 'jerky' pans... I would venture to say that you probably can't do too much with that footage now that the 'damage' is done...
