  • Lights flicker on power up and on wake from sleep

    I bought an 8 core MP from the local Apple retail store last week (08/2009). When I power up or wake the machine from sleep, my office lights flicker. This happens with or without the dedicated 550 VA UPS.
    Is this normal? If not, will getting a bigger UPS help?
    Thanks in advance for any tips. --Jesse

    Mac Pro should not be used with less than 1000-1500VA and be sure your circuit can handle the load, the inrush load is the worst part, it is "outside" the norm even for a dual xeon workstation to draw that much.
    I'd look at CyberPower 1500VA or 1350VA, just swapped out my APC RS1500VA for one and another to replace an older XS1500.
    Try w/o the UPS and see what happens. I wanted to isolate and put my office/room on its own circuit and run new line so I don't share circuit with other equipment.

  • Remove Led dj lighting flicker from footage in post

    Ok I had this down before but now lost it. Someone online suggested taking another example of the video and dropping it on the time line above. Then change the frame rate by 2 and use the opacity to to blend between the two videos. Can someone point me to where this was expalined? Or how to make the copied clip to modify it's frame rate? This actually does work well just as long as it is not fast motion. Thank you.

    Hi David,
    I recently shot a band with LED stage lighting and I had this problem.  After I found your/this post, I tried your suggestion with some variations.   My footage is pretty dark and includes a lot of red, purple and pink hues. I shot at 1280x720 @ 59.97 (7D).
    Duplicating footage ontop of each other
    Keep the same frame rate, offset by 1 frame
    Top/Overlaid footage opacity 100%, Blend Mode: Darken
    If you have any plugins, effects,color corrections, be sure to include them on BOTH files.
    You'll notice that the flickering has been reduced and some information is compromised (the drumstick in the first segment) so there's still a downside.  While this is an improvement, this is not a definitive solution.  The real solution is to have your gear set up to avoid these types of situations (this is my hard lesson, as well).

  • Removing intense light reflection on a B&W portrait image

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me.
    I have a B&W image of a very closely cropped man's face.  The image is fine apart from a very intense light reflection on one side of his forehead which I would like to remove.  I have tried cloning and also burning but both look like obvious manipulation of the image.  I think the best I am going to achieve is to tone it down slightly.  I also have a slight light reflection on the end of his nose but the burn tool worked perfectly for this.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do about the light reflection on the forehead please?
    BTW, I am using PSE6 with Windows.
    Cheers
    Sue

    All I can say Terri is "WOW".
    Thank you so much for making such an amazing effort and also giving step by step instructions on how to do it.  This will be incredibly helpful to me with this image and many more as I can apply the principle of what you've said in so many other ways.
    I didn't realise until I signed onto the Adobe forum again today how detailed your answer was, as the email notification I got on Saturday did not show anywhere near the content of your posting which seems a little strange to me.  Oh well.
    Your knowledge of PSE is clearly way beyond mine and I may not be able to follow your instructions exactly but I will certainly give it a go.  Have only been using PSE6 for 9 weeks as part of my university assignment in digital photography.  I've always loved photography but have never, before 9 weeks ago, used a digital darkroom before. Must admit, I am loving it as you really can improve images so much.
    I have asked Mark Sand in my previous posting to let me know how to download the images you and him have saved to pixentral.com as currently I don't seem to be able to do this.
    Thanks also for saying you like the picture.  Its always nice to know someone else likes your images.
    Thanks again

  • Removing video backdrop flicker

    Hi Gang,
    I am using FCS3 and have all the software installed- motion, color, FCP, etc,.     
    This is less a problem with the software than a question about technique.
    I have a video of a "talking head" interivew with an image from an LCD projector projected on a screen behind the interviewee.  The interviewee is blocking some of the screen.   Pulling the HD 30p video from the camera and reveiwing it, I realize that there is an annoying, periodic, flicker in the image behind my subject as he talks.  The image goes from slightly blue, to slighly yellow and back every few seconds.   This is really annoying and distracting, and I'd like to remove it somehow using some sort of matte, and replace it with a stationary image.   
    Since I would like to use many minutes of this video, I need a way of dynamically, instead of one frame at a time, subtracting the still (but constantly changing in color) background image, leaving the subject in the foreground.  Unfortunately, I cannot shoot this video again, or I'd simply double check that I'm not getting mismatch between the frame rate of the video and the frame rate of the camera.   (Normally when I do this, everything comes out fine.)
    Can anyone think of a way to do this?

  • DVC Pro HD 60fps footage with LED stage light flicker - anything I can do in Final Cut?

    I shot DVCPro HD footage 60fps under LED stagelights.  It looked okay live on my camcorder's LED screen so I didn't think to synchronize.  Playback on FCP 60fps timeline is full of flickers.  Playback on 30fps timeline much less flickers, but looks like some interlacing issues.  Help - can I marry the 30fps and 60fps timelines in one project without making things worse?

    LED stage lights? 
    Are you absolutely certain?
    Stage lights that flicker at the mains fequency would make any movement on stage a sickening experience for the performers. I don't do stage lighting any more but I cannot imagine dimmable, bright, focusable lighting instruments that are also affordable.
    If you have the luxury of reshooting, you must determine the luminaire  type. If it is controlled by a ballast or mains freq, you  must use a shutter speed that at least spans two complete cycles, 1/30th of a second. Better at 1/25th because your electronic shutter can easily get out of sync with the mains and you'll get a weird bar.
    LEDs? Errrmm.  Convince me.

  • Best way to remove fluorescent lighting tint

    I need to color correct shots that were taped under fluorescent lighting. The ugly kind!
    Looking for tips to remove the ulgy green tint while warming up skin tone.
    Thanks in advance. Be well.
    --DKG

    I've already gotten into a fight with the producer
    for giving me such bad footage, but aside from
    quiting... whatelse can be done?
    exactly what you're doing and then some. the three-way auto white capabilities are quite good and it'll provide a base to start from. do that first and then reapply the three way and mess around with luma, black, chroma levels. you may find after auto-white that all you need is a simple hue shift which the regular color corrector does with great aplomp.
    once you get things to where you think you like them, duplicate the sequence and find a scene you like the best. place a marker. other scenes in the same location with the same fluorescent lighting, place more markers - i'll tell you why in a second - and then apply another three-filter to use the match hue functions and that may dial you in even closer. another tool great for this is G Super Levels from graeme nattress in his filter set one.
    when i match cameras for live shows, i have the benefit of routers to toggle the imagery through my monitors and scopes. no router exists in fcp but if you learn the keyboard shortcuts for navigating to and from markers, you can watch the waveforms while you toggle between scenes which will tell you were to surgically perform more correction.
    document your time and submit a huge invoice to this producer for providing you with this crap. you can't perform miracles without getting paid!
    good luck, post back.
    if you need further help, you can email me offlist with some problem stills and i'll see what i can do.

  • Ambient light flicker plugin needed ... any suggestions?

    I also need to create some kind of organic light flickery kind of thing ... something that would sell the effect of someone watching tv in a dark room, that kind of thing ... anyone got any ideas what kind of plugin I'd need for that?

    Hi guys,
    my dual flicker (first version) is and will remain free and at present is available from my older site (the newer version differs for the greater number of useful parameters and presets included and works with AE too).
    I take this opportunity to remind those who use or might use my current and forthcoming free plugins that the old web site content will soon move to the new site, which will expand further.
    Thanks guys.

  • Removing Florescent Light Noise "Hum" from Audio Tracks using FCEHD

    I have some clips taken under florescent lighting where the hum was discernable even during the sound check. (I was using external Electro Voice hypercardiod XLR mikes plugged into my Sony DCRVX2100, powered through a surge protector, monitoring the audio with Bose QC2 headphones). Using the same camera, cables, and mikes under incandescent lighting that day was fine - no hum.
    Attempting to filter out the hum using the FCE Hum filter wasn't dramatically effective, even with repeated tests establishing that using a frequency of 60 hz, a Q of 40, a gain of -48, and the 1st and 3rd harmonics provided the most benefit.
    Additionally I tried again with the FCE 31 band EQ filter, anticipating that the 50 hz and 60 hz filters would provide very specific improvements. Also tried were the LowPass Filter and the 3 band EQ.
    I'd like to clean up the otherwise fine audio - any suggestions? I am considering buying a filtered power conditioner as I know that some of the problem can be "dirty" electricity resulting from the ballast of the florescent lighting.
    Also, I noted that the numeric values shown for the gain using the FCE 31 band EQ filter oftentimes lagged behind the setting of the slider: returning the slider to the middle "0" position frequently didn't change the previous value of the gain shown. Is this another indication that I should just upgrade from my PowerBook G4 with 2 Gig of RAM?
    Thanks!
    James Mackay

    Hello Jim,
    And welcome to the Final Cut Express forum.
    You are correct that the ballast generates the hum. Power conditioning is probably not going to reduce or eliminate it, because the old ballasts are magnetic. The only way I found to eliminate fluorescent noise at the source is to replace the ballast with an electronic one or replace the entire fixture with a T8 unit (they use electronic ballasts).
    Removing that hum probably can't be done in FCE. Sound Soap can probably do it however, with it's ability to +learn noise+ and then remove that specific audio. The regular Sound Soap works as a plugin for Final Cut, which enables you to apply it within FCE.
    At present there is also an 'SE' version available at 50% off however it only works in standalone mode, which means you would have to export the audio track from FCE, clean it and then re-import back into FCE.

  • Light Flicker Problems

    Hi There,
    I've been having some problems concerning a video I'm making. After importing all the Video I've noticed a flicker problem on the image. Its almost like a very small glow of light that is that is constantly flickering. The footage was filmed in the U.S and edited in the UK, so not sure if its to do with the difference in Hz from the ceiling lights or if theres an uneven exposure from the camera? If theres anyone who would know how to minimalise the flicker problem on Final Cut Pro it would be a big help.
    Many Thanks
    Matt

    There most certainly could be a frequency problem with lights. Are they flourescent or sodium lights? Those kind of lights do pulse and are more problematic when used in slo motion captured material.
    Also you can get problems with these lights with shuttered movie cameras and telecining to tape. Throw in the NTSC > PAL conversion will only exacerbate the problem!
    Can you post an example clip?
    The flicker filter in FCP won't help as that only corrects interlace problems.

  • Filter for light flicker from projected film

    Hi-- working on converting my old super 8 film to digital. I'm getting a light flickering effect from recording the projected film with my digital camcorder, which I understand comes from a mismatch between the fps of the projector and the camcorder. Doing some research, I found there were some "antiflicker" filters for some PC programs, eg. http://neuron2.net/deflick/flick.html and http://www.3prong.com/FFiXUGF.htm. Is there anything out there for FC (or existing already in FC's tool set) that can achieve the same thing? Unforunately, the built-in flicker filter addresses a different problem altogether.
    Thanks.

    Thank you-- that's the thread I've been hoping to find. Right now I have a simple set up--movie projector about 5 feet onto a white wall, and digital camera just behind and to the right. The two main problems I'm having are with flicker and color. Perhaps the color can be improved with exposure adjustment, bit the flicker is so irritating! I do have a variable speed projector, and more reading suggests that the optimal speed is just a tad faster than the normal speed, whereas for me the optimal speed has been at the fastest setting, and still with very noticeable and headache-inducing flicker; perhaps I need to be more patient in finding the "sweet zone".
    I actually do not mind having this professionally done, if only I can get a free sample just to make sure the results justify the cost.
    Thanks again, and please feel free to pass along any more tips you have discovered.

  • CS3 - lights flicker- ext/night

    Hi,
    I have a video clip, 720x480i dv ntsc 29.97.. of some people eating dinner at night outside on a porch/veranda...
    It's lit by what looks like a single source ( floodlight maybe ..out of frame )...and the light flickers.
    It looks like what you might get shooting film with HMI sine wave instead of square wave ballast....
    Orrrr...looks like what an incandescent light would be like if the cycle per sec of the power was about 40-45....
    The country is Zimbabwe...and I saw in other shots power cables going to the building...so I doubt it's a generator but don't know.
    Anyway, I know this is crazy but is there any way to make the flicker less noticeable when dealing with low cycle per second incandescent type problem like this looks like ??  It's the only shot I have of  " dinner" at this location....  GRRRRR...
    Rod

    Hi,
    Good idea !  hehe...you sure do come up with cool ideas pretty quick....I
    would do a light behind a ceiling fan though....looks more like that...
    But really, it doesn't look TOOOOO terrible once it's exported....  and I
    could scrap the shot and use a dinner scene from the 2nd country they go to
    (interior...could be anywhere...)...
    But guess what ?  This will crack you up....as it is the absolute HEIGHT of
    STUPIDITY on my part....no matter what I do from now on , the rest of my
    life, I can only exhibit more SMARTNESS....that's how far north I've gone
    with STUPIDITY...
    My latest timeline, outline, storyboard, whatever you want to call it...in
    order to have a coherent story for this hunting trip....was to have mainly
    the first part concentrating on the hunt for cape baffalo....  in the end
    the ol herd gets spooked before he can close in and get a shot... (open
    sights on this trip - all tracking and sneaking up on sort of stuff ).
    THEN (after the minor disappointment of NOT getting the ol buffalo, we end
    on a HIGH NOTE....going for the big ol elephant !  And we GET the elephant !
    Success !  Everyone eats elephant in the local village for a week and
    everyone is happy !
    Sooooo, I got about 25 min into this thing, thinking it's going to be about
    an hour or 1.3 hours altogether....and I've finished the buffalo part....
    Guess what screwed up the whole thing ????  Which, yours truly didn't even
    notice till now, due to being STUPID beyond measure ?!
    Yep....wardrobe continuity.   GAWD !!!!!!!!!!  Everything is now totally and
    amazingly TOTALLY MESSED UP....
    I am going to sulk in the corner by the plastic plant with the dunce hat
    on.....see you later

  • Blue screen on c7280 all in one reads b851fe84. lights flicker on and off. will not turn off.

    HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One printer.  Operating system is Windows XP.  This has happened sporadically over several months.  A few weeks ago, I inserted new ink cartridges and that seemed to stop the problem.  Now, it has returned.  The on/off button will not turn the printer off.  The photo-menu, print photos, auto answer, on/off button, plus a light near the card slots all blink on and off.  The PhotoSmart Express displays a blue screen with B851FE84 written on it.  On occasion, I have received other blue screen messages but they appear for just a second or two.  I believe one earlier today was B01B17FC but it only appeared for a second or two so it may not be correctly recorded.
