Understanding Light Flicker in Video (…shutter angle, slow motion video)
Avoiding flicker while shooting high-speed (slow motion) video under artificial lighting, or shooting in a foreign country can be a challenge. I knew HOW, but not WHY. Now I know why, and I want to share it with you.

I really like the shutter angle option on the GH5s. I have Phillips Hue bulbs and everything below 100% produces flicker for me. Even 95% brightness. I'll often have to change the shutter angle to 173 degrees in order to completely remove flicker, and even then I still notice it a bit in post. Luckily DaVinci Resolve has a built-in de-flicker tool that does a great job, especially when there is just minimal flicker. I've heard of people having issues with the Godox SL60W light, but I haven't noticed anything in my testing. This helps though! I haven't tested anything high speed yet, hoping I can get something working at 120fps.

hey man! thank you for this wonderful video. I just knew about your channel, now I'm subscribed because of this amazing explanation. I've been giving my studio setup (with a computer monitor as side light) a trial and error to avoid flickers... yeah, my monitor flickers now... adjusted to 30fps = 1/60th shutter speed (minimal flicker) but it's natural. Now, I will just have to compensate a little more with LED lights to upgrade my small room into a mini studio (like yours, except with the RGB background - can't afford RGB LEDs for now haha) CHEERS! Looking forward to more videos from you. I'll try to make my own video about my experience for my future studio setup. thanks to you man!

Hey there :) great video, thanks for sharing. i am just curious what program or plug in you used for your writing animations, and your shape animations? In addition, i found this video after having my own issues. i've always followed the 180 degree rule and shoot @ 24 fps. i live in Canada so i have the 60 hz frequency. i was getting banding in my videos under florescent at 1/50 second shutter speed, but it is solved if i go to 1/60. 5:25, you mention i should be able to shoot 24fps without getting flicker, is banding different in this case? Thanks :)

Very interesting topic and great video! So, there‘s a couple of things I wonder about. 1. With more and more indoor lights becoming LEDs isn’t the NTSC/PAL situation becoming a thing of the past? 2. Why can GoPros and many Smartphones shoot at 60 fps in PAL-regions without issues? Shouldn‘t they be region locked as well? 3. If I were to stream just the HDMI-output of let‘s say the GH5 set to 1080p/60 in a PAL region, and not press the filming button would the same problems occur? Sorry, if these have already been answered. Cheers Dan

Hey Joseph! Thank you for this great explenation. These graphs really helped me to understand this flicker thing. Me and my friend are shooting on analog film. Our camera - Bolex H16 non reflex - has fixed 24 fps setting but we live in Europe (50 hz). Which is problematic - we get flicker. It's non reflex camera, means shutter angle is fixed too. In order to set our camera to shoot 25fps , we bought techometer to measure FPS. The tachometer shows 24.5fps or sometimes 25.5. Question is: how much flicker (if any) we could get if this happens? It would be awesome if you could help on this topic.

I can fix it in normal recording (fps 30 shutter speed 120) but I would like to avoid banding all together

@itikutok6568 Год назад

So glad there's a solution, since I'm about to purchase some LED spotlights for RU-vid videos. Thank you so much for this video, I was about to scrap my whole lighting design! I wanted to ask a question though - when dimming 220V AC LED GU10 bulbs, do you expect the math behind the cycles to change? Would it still fluctuate at 50 Hz? I'm trying to work around any possible issues by getting the best dimmer and bulbs I can afford, but dimming them was part of my plan, as 10W spots are quite focused and bright.

@photojoseph Год назад

If you’re using conventional dimmers then all bets are off. I believe conventional dimmers work by altering the cycle. Professional lights dim differently. If you’re talking about building a set using off the shelf lights, I’d advise that you put that money into video lighting systems. There are thousands of affordable options these days. Just look on Amazon.

@wcareyphoto 5 лет назад

Great video on he math of lights and video. Another great subject would be to talk about fluorescent tube style bulb lights like in an office environment. Some older style fluorescent bulbs shift color temperature so while you're shooting in that environment, your video's color balance is shifting from green to blue and back to green. Newer bulbs don't do this but take it from experience, the older bulbs are still out there and will make you pull your hair out.

@photojoseph 5 лет назад

No doubt!!

@mikaelspetz 5 лет назад

So how do you deal with the older bulbs? Color correct frame by frame?

@photojoseph 5 лет назад

No… you do manual white balance so your WB doesn’t change. As the colors change a bit as you pass by different lights, that’s acceptable. The viewer can accept that because that’s real life. But if your WB is changing in response to the light, then the entire scene will change as you move the camera (the walls, the people, etc.) and that won’t look good. Manual WB is your friend here.

@mikaelspetz 5 лет назад

@PhotoJoseph Thanks

@wcareyphoto 5 лет назад

@PhotoJoseph is absolutely correct but this happened to me in 2005 with a Canon XL1 camera. This went totally against everything we were taught in tv video production. You were to white balance the camera using a white card and you went with that as your white balance. Most tv cameras then didn’t have auto white balance so you got screwed when this happened. At that point, you’d color correct your video and dissolve between them to achieve a close to correct white balance.

@LeeAxonisDigifin Год назад

Good morning from the UK. Thank you for this video. I have a question please. To your knowledge, how to Hollywood movies avoid these flickers as they clearly use artificial light in many instances. For example, the John Wick movies 'on set' or the movie 'Nobody' where there's slow motion action on the bus. These all use artificial light. I have two cameras, Sony A74 and A7s3 and sometimes come up against challenges with artificial light sources. Thanks and hopefully you can answer. Lee

@photojoseph Год назад

I explain that in this video - lots and lots of light. Also DC instead of AC. Also, don’t disregard VFX. Also, it’s Hollywood, so there’s probably some secret sauce involved!

@photojoseph 11 месяцев назад

Aircraft lighting flickers at 400Hz?! That’s wild. Trial and error with a camera that can do syncroscan is probably necessary. Also I doubt that the frequency is consistent. I’d imagine that the Hz changes as the engines rev up or down. Watch this video too if you haven’t already: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1qcOAOK8_eY.htmlsi=vz4X4gk18BoHl1-F

@RogerHyam 2 года назад

Thanks for this video Joseph. It was helpful. I'm designing an old style telecine box to convert 8mm movies to digital through a first surface mirror and back projection. My big worry (and what would stop me getting out the saw) is that I'll either get flicker or slow moving bands caused by beat frequency oscillation that I won't be able to remove just by choosing the correct settings. If the projector isn't perfectly constant at 16fps then the two systems will drift out of sync. Any suggestions as to a strategy? Should I go for a high multiple of 16 or long shutter speed? I know this was almost impossible to tackle in analogue videos cameras. [Before anyone comments: Yes I know I should ideally scan them frame at a time but I don't want to 1) Buy a Wolverine Scanner as I don't like the results for the money. 2) Pay someone else as it would cost more than a Wolverine for the first batch and I'm planning on making more. 3) The results only have to be good-enough. 4) I like tinkering and have the components to hand - maybe one day I'll build a frame by frame scanner but not yet].

@photojoseph 2 года назад

Wow that’s quite a project. And LOL at your “before anyone comments” as that’s exactly what I was going to say! 😂 The big problem I see is “what if the film frame changes during that video frame’s exposure”, which could come down to just luck; keep shooting until you’re lucky enough to start them together. The second problem is frame rate - 16 isn’t in any digital cameras. However if you shoot at 48fps (possible in cameras like the S1H and GH6, I believe - the more cine oriented cameras) then at least that’s an even divisor of 16, so you won’t have drift (48/16=3). So, yeah… 48fps and fingers crossed!

@@photojoseph Thanks for advice. The problem has solved itself. The bulb on my projector blew and there was a good deal on a cheap frame by frame scanner in Amazon Warehouse. It will arrive today. I'll see if I can tweak the results to my liking in post. I've been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century!

I went to amusement park at evening. EU, 50hz and 60hz lights mixed everywhere. I couldnt film any video that wouldnt be flickering. What you would have done in that situation? Would it be possible with some settings to avoid it? Anyone know? Thanks.

@photojoseph 2 года назад

hm, unlikely there were 50 and 60 hz lighting mixed. Flickering AC lights are determined by the power frequency, which would be 50hz in the EU. I would have rolled through shutter angles looking for one that worked, and if there were particular lights that for whatever reason continued to flicker, just do my best to shoot around them!

Very well made but i am extremely sleep deprived and i didn't quite catch whether you covered this one issue: Basically, i get really bad flicker when i reduce the Exposure. Is there an easy way to solve this? With normal exposure the lighting is too overwhelming and blinding, but with perfect exposure i get terrible flickering.

@photojoseph Год назад

You gotta rewatch the video. It’s all about adjusting shutter speed/angle which adjusts exposure

@unknownaccount786 3 года назад

One question ... I wanna shoot 24p but im in india so its 50hz lights .... I only have 1/45 or 1/60 shutter speed in my sony cam (its closer to 1/48 so cinematic motion blur and stuff) wat should i use ? 1/45 or 1/60 ... Remember that im in ntsc format .

Thank you for this. I have a shoot in one day and I want to record in 24fps. I’m from Europe so 50hz. I also will need to shoot in high-framerates such as 120fps. The red website is saying there is no safe shutter angle for 120fps in 50hz. Should I instead take 96fps with 345 shutter angle? Is 96 good looking / reliable in 50hz region with 345 shutter angle? I would appreciate the answer!

@rgrgggrg5260 Год назад

@photojoseph Год назад

If you don’t have a flicker then it’s good looking. “Good” is arbitrary. Go as high fps as you can without flicker. The math doesn’t lie; follow the red chart.

@rgrgggrg5260 Год назад

@@photojoseph won’t 96 fps with a shutter angle of 345.6 look way too blurry? I just noticed that my 6k pro doesn’t offer 96 fps for the highest sensor resolution. It only goes up to 50 or 48. Would you rather choose 48 fps and highest sensor quality or lower quality with cropped sensor and higher fps? Thank you for the quick answer!

@monke1077 3 года назад

Does this mean that lights are off half of the time? If the light is off as many times as it is on in any given amount of time, then that means that the light would be off half of the time correct?

@aperturefilm 8 месяцев назад

I just experienced this after shooting a video in a boxing gym where I used the available light. I shot this scene in 120 fps with 180°, was it because of the AC light in the gym that caused this banding flickering, I almost cried when I got home and review my footage lol

@photojoseph 8 месяцев назад

You’re in a 60Hz or 50Hz region? 120p in 60Hz should be fine at any shutter angle. 50Hz though, forget it. Use the calculator. www.red.com/tools

@89Izayoi Год назад

It was so many numbers but I can say I got flicker this weekend. I was on a horse competition and shooted 120fps with shuttercount at 1/250 and it was not so fun so I dropped the shutter to 1/125, it got a bit better but not so much. I had 50hz to..My goall with the film to be able to make it slowmo without losing to much quality...How had you done in my situation? I am new to premium pro too so I don't know how to edit it either...:(

@photojoseph Год назад

Were you in a 60Hz or 50Hz region? You said you “had 50Hz” but I don’t know if that means you were in 50Hz or you set the camera to it.

@dellsdiy 2 года назад

Great video, I learned a ton...but something I may have misunderstood. I shoot my videos in my workshop which has LED tubes on the ceiling and I bring in my own LED lights for additional lighting. I'm in the US and bulbs themselves say 50/60hz which I assume means in the US they are 60hz, in Europe they're 50hz. I just started shooting 4k where I'm now noticing some rolling banding. I used 23.976fps and 1/50 and got the banding. If I understand this correctly if I shoot 30fps, it really doesn't matter what the shutter is but I won't get banding. OR if I shoot 23.976fps I should be using 1/40 shutter speed, not 1/50. With all that being said, it seems the sweet spot for me would be 30fps (actually 29.976) and 1/60th shutter? Is that correct? Now i'm off to figure out how to remove the banding in post from the last tutorial I shot

@photojoseph 2 года назад

You got it. You could stay at 23.976 and go to 1/60 and that should work, or as you said do both and go 29.97 and 1/60.

@dellsdiy 2 года назад

@@photojoseph What's interesting is I'm still getting very subtle banding when shooting 29.97 and 1/60 (USA). I can't see it much when watching at normal speed but if I speed up a clip, which I do often, you can definitely see the rolling banding.

What I would like to know is: Filming in PAL or NTSC and then playing on a 50 or 60 hertz TV there is no problem, is it the same? And PAL having better quality than NTSC, is it preferable to shoot whenever possible with it?

@photojoseph 4 года назад

Totally different issue. Playing PAL on an NTSC TV means frames have to be added, and playing NTSC on a PAL TV means frames have to be dropped. Since the math doesn’t work (25 doesn’t divide evenly into 29.97 or vice-vera), you have to drop frames through a process called pull-down. This has nothing to do with flicker. Also, in HD, PAL is not better than NTSC. You’re thinking of SD when PAL was a larger frame than NTSC. But in HD and 4K, the frame sizes are the same, so quality is the same. You could argue that at any given bit rate, PAL is better because since there are fewer frames per second, you can have a higher quality frame, but if that’s the case then shoot 24fps, and get even better.

@JoATTech Год назад

Very helpful. But there at least 1 but. In most cases you have to use higher SS, then normally. So you need higher ISO. Not much but in some cases ~0.66 EV.

@photojoseph Год назад

Well sure, if you change exposure you have to compensate somewhere. A little noise is 1,000x better than flicker though!
