Flicker and Strobing Reduction

Hello Everyone.
I am very new to Shake, and currently reading all I can about different techniques. I havent come across any techniques for flicker reduction. I have taken a series of still and joined them using QT.
There is slight strobe between each frame, could someone please explain how I can reduce this using Shake?
I have read other articles on the forum but I cant find any more information on the subject. My level is very basic, any advice is welcome.
Thanks. Jim.

From the original post:
I fixed a flicker problem like this once:
Average the shot using the Timing tab for your FileIn. Use enough
frames (i.e. "range") to remove flicker completely.
Blur the h3ll out of the averaged footage.
Blur the h3ll out of the original flickery footage.
ISub one from the other -- IAdd that to the original. (make sure all
of this is done in float).
I don't know if this will help in your case.
Good luck.

PS: Here's an example script.
average = SFileIn("//YOUR FOOTAGE HERE",
"Auto", 0, 0, "v1.1", "0", "");
IRetime(average, 0, autoInPoint, 71, "Freeze", "Freeze");
FIBlend(average, JSpline(1,1@1,71@71), 1, 70, 12, 1.5, 1, 1, 1);
flickery = SFileIn("YOUR FOOTAGE HERE",
"Auto", 0, 0, "v1.1", "0", "");
Bytes1 = Bytes(average, 4);
Bytes2 = Bytes(flickery, 4);
Blur1 = Blur(Bytes1, 100, xPixels/GetDefaultAspect(), 0, "gauss",
xFilter, "rgba");
Blur1_clone1 = Blur(Bytes2, Blur1.xPixels, Blur1.yPixels, Blur1.spread,
Blur1.xFilter, Blur1.yFilter, Blur1.channels);
ISub1 = ISub(Blur1, Blur1_clone1, 1, 100);
IAdd1 = IAdd(ISub1, flickery, 1, 100);

Yesterday while downloading an app on my 3GS, my iPhone froze, and I switched it off to reboot. Following that, every few minutes, the screen will flicker and the phone will restart. What's wrong? And how should I fix it?

I recieved my iPhone 3GS around Christmas. It has been working great, until yesterday. I was downloading an app and suddenly my messaging froze. I couldn't view incoming messages, and every chat I clicked on displayed the same frozen dialogue with only the contact names different. (The app was supposedly reliable, I read over the reviews.) I rebooted my phone in hopes of fixing this, and everything seemed fine for a couple of minutes. Then the screen slightly flickered, and my phone restarted itself. Now, after turning on again, it continues to flicker and crash every few minutes, whether I'm using it or not. Can anyone tell me what could be wrong and how I can fix it?

Restore the Firmware with iTunes.
If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take to Apple for resolution.
If no coverage, the next step would be battery replacement.

Save as dialog box expanded to full screen, edge arrows flicker and will not pull the edges in.

This problem presented itself out of the blue. The Save As dialog box expanded to full screen, and although the arrows that appear when the mouse cursor is over the edge of a window are present, they flicker and do not grab the edge to pull it in. Every other window on the computer does not have an issue like this. Restarting Firefox or the computer does not eliminate the problem. I am hoping that there is a settings file somewhere that the numeric value for the dialog box size can be changed, since I do not want to completely reinstall the browser.
As a side note, if the browser has been running many downloads for a while, it will usually start failing to display information, and eventually will get to a point where the Save As box flickers for an instant and disappears and the entire browser becomes unresponsive for an hour or more. Downloads continue (including the one that it froze up on, albeit as a randomly named file in User...Temp), but it is not possible to restart the browser until the downloads complete (which in some cases can be several hours). Usually I revert to using IE11 until I can restart Firefox.
Perhaps one of my strongest dislikes of Firefox though is the issue with its resistance to copy and paste operations in the Save As dialog box. Most websites offer files with cryptic and even identical names for different files, so renaming files is a critical operation if one is to keep track of and later identify the files one has. A problem unique to Firefox, attempts to highlight and paste in a better file name usually are met with a refusal to paste, a stuck context menu that can take a minute of clicking to clear, repeated jumping to the end of the file name, and other similar issues. I have encountered this problem repeatedly on different computers and different operating systems, it is a problem I have only ever encountered in Firefox.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

How do I get rid of random screen flicker and black screen when using a late 2013 Mac Pro with a 4k Samsung 55" Display?

I have a new Mac Pro late 2013 and a 55" 4k Samsung display connected using an HDMI cable. For the most part the display is amazing, however, I get occasional screen flicker and black outs. Can anyone help? Could I possibly have a bad video card?

4K displays take more than half the bandwidth of a ThunderBolt Bus. So you may get better results if you are careful to place them on their own Bus. This article has the explanation of which port is using which Bus:

Icons flicker and external drives don't work

anyone having this issue? It just started today.
the icons on the Late 2009 iMac desktop will flicker and when i try to copy a folder to one of my extarnal Seagate HD's the icons flash and the transfer stops.
thanks for any help. I looked on some boards but not seeing the flicker problem yet.

Thanks for your input AppleMan1958.
1) Make sure VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK is selected.
     Check, had already tried this but nothing shows no matter what I do.
2) Make sure the iMovie Projects folder and the iMovie Events folder on the external drive are at the top level of the drive. If they are within another folder, iMovie will not see them.
     Check, all 4 drives have these folders at the top level.
3) If you open iMovie within another user account, and everything works fine, then this is probably a corrupt preferences file. You can correct by trashing your preferences, as described here.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061
     Tried this, no difference I'm afraid. Also, all four accounts on this computer exhibit the same behavior. All drives and projects show in the Projects window but nothing shows in the Events window.   I even created a brand new account and it's doing the same thing.
One other little detailed I should have mentioned.   I had a hard drive "failure" just before this started but managed to coax all the information from the failing drive on to a new one before it failed completely (interface issue on the external case and not a problem with the hard drive itself, I am now using the drive in a dock as a backup drive).   I now realize it would have been preferable to copy the movies to the new drive within iMovie but at the time was just focused on trying to save the information so did it through the OS. As it was I had to resort to copying individual clips from the old drive to the new because copying more than a couple of Gig at a time would fail.
I'm starting to consider picking up a new internal drive and re-installing everything from scratch and then manually copying over the user data files to make sure nothing corrupt gets copied over ?

tnx in advance

Try downloading another app - any app - pick a free app and download it. See if that helps reset the iPad.
If that doesn't work, then reboot the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

My iphone 4s has a black screen. If I hold down the on button, it will occasionally flicker and then go black. How do I get it to turn on?

Is it dead? Is there any way to fix it? It's sitting in a bag of rice right now, a desperate measure.

Are you saying it got water damage? If not what mende1 suggested, or the following

is the way to proceed. If it got wet all bets are off.

Base Sharpening and Noise Reduction D800/E

Has anyone set up a base sharpening and noise reduction at different ISOs for the D800/E?
I had LR all set up for my D300 and D700 so the base settings where used at import.
Now I need to do it with the D800E and was wondering what others might be using.
Thanks

Pngs flicker and appear as white boxes when scrolling down page in Chrome 37.0.2062.120 m

Hello,
I have noticed that pngs flicker and appear as white boxes when scrolling down the page in Chrome 37.0.2062.120 m in windows only. Chrome on the mac is fine and this issue doesn't occur on the windows version of chrome canary. It would appear that the pngs are reloading when I scroll.
There is alot going on in this animation, I am going to sprite most of these pngs to reduce sever requests which may help, but im certain this isnt the root cause of this issue.
Has anyone come across this issue before?
Please link to the animation in question here.
Any advice much appreciated. http://new.oliverrice.co.uk/oliverrice.co.uk.html

So I have created a sprite for the majority of the png's that form my symbols. This has reduced the total number of sever image requests from over 70 to 5. this has worked really well and feel adobe could add a feature that creates one sprite from all the images within the library. The animation seems to run a lot faster than before and loads much quicker.
I am however still experiencing the problem mentioned above in chrome 37.0.2062.120 m.
The animation also runs slowly on the I pad and I phone which I guess is down to memory usage? The animation wasnt intended for the iphone, but it would be nice to see it run on the ipad.

Requirement class- consumtion indicator and requirement reduction indicator

hi
in DEMAND MANAGEMENT WE CAN SET REQUIREMENT CLASS
can any one elobrate whats the difference between the consumption indicator and requirement reduction indicator.
in help i dint get any explanation regarding the indicators which we need to se at requirement class
in siemens material i got the diff on between but i couldnt understood
can any experts elobrate the issue.
the explantion is like that
consmtion is not the only integartion between actual sales requirements and PIR. reduction of the PIR will also takes place asa result of the sales requirement.
Reduction is the process of actual reducing the value of PIR and its stored in the system. where as during consumtion the actual value stored was not changed, only the quantity passed to planning was lowerd.
can any body elobrate the above statement
regards
sasikanth

HI
Consumption indicator
The PIR are consumed with respectve to sales order
requirement reduction indicator
make-to-stock production is reduced by customer requirements which are planned as sale from stock

Transitions flicker and flash when exported

Most of my clips have movement to them. The dissolve transitions have the green bar above them. After rendering these simple dissolve transitions in Final Cut, everything looks great. Playing within the program works perfectly. After "Export Movie" these same transitions flicker and flash and some of the clips end up with dark lines through them. I have tried flicker filter with inconsistent success. I have tried changing the length of the dissolve transition with inconsistent success. Any thoughts?
Thanks for any help that can be given.

I think I solved one issue. My still images were way to high resolution. I didn't think that could even be a problem. Also, two were tiff images. Converting them to jpg solved their problems. I turned off the field dominance which cleared up one of the dissolves that had a filter applied. I am still getting some jerky dissolves but at least they do not flash.
As for the codec, It looks like it is the HDV 1080i60. Where and/or how do I change the default Quicktime render from RGB to YUV or vice a versa.

How to pack() twice without flicker (and other fireworks)? (with SCCEE :)

Hello, there is this "feature", that sometimes you have to call pack() twice to pack tightly around the subject. This has been discussed here before, some people call it a bug, camickr said he did not know why, this is just how the layout worked. OK, the problem with calling it twice, is that the user notices the window flicker.
The flicker does not happen every time (or, better say, we do not see it every time), that's why I put the whole thing in the loop in the SCCEE.
Even worse, this does not happen right now in my program, but in the SCCEE, there is also a boatload of exceptions (not mine), sometimes pack() even called twice does not work, and eventually, the whole loop just hangs.
(So, by Murphy's law, these things will eventually happen in my big program too)
Question: how do I resize a JFrame tightly around a JTextPane, without the flicker (and other special effects)? Here is the code, if you look carefully, you can tell the window momentarily went taller, before going shorter again - does not always happen, if you are lucky it will do this a few times before it hangs altogether... I do this many times in myprogram, as the user moves things around, they really notice.
If I call setVisible(false) before the pack()s and then back to true after, then of course, the flicker is even worse.
Thank you for any suggestion of a workaround... Mark

I tidied up your program a little, and you're right - I can see the window size flicker a little. It's very pronounced with only 1 call to pack(), and less so with 2 calls to pack(), but still noticeable.

Missing Sharpen and Noise Reduction palettes

I've just exported some pictures for the web from Lightroom 5 which had to be downsized considerably. I now find that the sharpening and noise reduction palette has disappeared entirely from the right hand tools panel. What's going on? I've tried quitting and re-opening Lightroom and also shutting down and restarting my computer. (Macbook Pro retina and Mountain Lion)

If you are talking about the Panel in Develop, right click on any panel header and make sure that Detail is checked.

Disabling Sharpening and Noise Reduction

Hello. I have Lightroom 1.2. I have over a 1,000 images to process. How can I disable sharpening and noise reduction for all of them without having to click that little detail box for each of the images. I use Noiseware for noise reduction and Focalblade for sharpening. If there is something in a folder within Lightroom I can delete to remove sharpening forever, please let me know. Of course, I want to perform the other corrections in Lightroom as necessary. Thank you.
Francis

Jao, Thank you. I have asked this question elsewhere before. I have recieved replies, maybe I did not follow the directions properly, but they never worked. The sharpening would be disableduntil I went to make another correction. Then back to sharpening Lightroom would go. Your way, sharpening is disabled for all the images and stays that way. Thanks again.
Francis
