RE:Vision Effects, developers of Twixtor and ReelSmart Motion Blur, have released a new plugin for editing and compositing applications designed to smooth out the flicker and artifacts that can occur when shooting artificial lights, footage at high frame rates or when capturing timelapse videos. DE:Flicker can solve problems with strobing and light source flicker, can handle clips with multiple flicker types (with differing rates of flicker) and can deal with flicker that only occurs in part of the image without affecting the rest of the image. Watch a sample video on YouTube and find out more on RE:Vision Effects' site.
