50 cycle flicker but not?

I'm editing some material shot in a lit cave in Vietnam and it has a 50 cycle flicker as if it were shot without the 100th of a second shutter. However I did shoot it with the shutter and while shooting was aware there was a problem. At the time, tried several different options to remove the flicker, but bottom line, was never successful.

Anyone have a suggestion on how to correct this? I tried the flicker filter in FCP and didn't see any improvement. In fact I think it made it worse. Material was shot with EX-3, 1080/60i at 29.97 FPS.

Thx...Jim Watt

Avoid shooting under flourescant or natural indoor lighting if the frame rate does not match the electrical current. The shutter speed is supposed to be a multiple of your frame rate.

I think After Effects has a filter that can correct this.

All the best,

The best FCP plugin for this I have used is Flicker2 from The Foundry

[www.thefoundry.co.uk]

Expensive but they have a demo to see if it fixes what you want.

Then you can rent the plugin for a period so you can fix your issue and not have to buy the whole suite.
