Strange 'shimmer' when fading in-out of light sky

I can't conquer this and it's making me crazy. It ruins my videos and requires work-arounds to disguise it that aren't what I want to do and don't work that well.

When fading in or out on a light (sometimes dark) sky scene, I get this weird 'shimmer' thing. problem clip -- ten seconds on Vimeo and you have to watch closely. Also attached a screen shot here. Can someone please help?!?

Note: I render with LRTimelapse and the results are fine ... PD puts on the shimmer.

Hi Nick

I think the fact that you are not getting a great response may be down to the fact that what you explain is very difficult to see. However, I had a look at the still under magnification and could see what I thought might be due to, too higher an ISO setting creating some noise. I don't know if you were using manual or auto settings, but checking the ISO may be worth a try.

Also, have you checked "Reduce Blocky Artifacts" in preferences > produce - Reduce Blocky Artifacts.

Sorry, I don't see it at 1080 resolution. But I don't get a fade at 5 seconds, just a jump from light to dark. After that it's too dark to see a shimmer. Regards,

Thanks ... yes I just joined two clips together; the beginning and end of the project. You do have to look very clsoely, I know. Maybe the still I attached gives a better look?

Thanks ... it is hard to see in what I posted but it's there. ISO varies and it's not high when this happens; it varies. I am stumped and it's frustrating. Maybe I can find a worse example and put it up there ...

And me again: If you go to full screen on that Vimeo clip it's more apparent. Very top of frame at the start, and coming down from the top at the end.

Hello,



For me this is a "compression" problem and not necessarily through PD14 but possibly of your support card (SD or better). It happens many times. Have you tried an other editing prog to compare?

Success!

As a last resort, try rendering in Quicktime, I've heard that it handles banding very well Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

No, the support on which you record your raws of your camera. Check if other (SD?) cards give this also or if you have this effect in an other editing prog?

Quote I can't conquer this and it's making me crazy. It ruins my videos and requires work-arounds to disguise it that aren't what I want to do and don't work that well.

When fading in or out on a light (sometimes dark) sky scene, I get this weird 'shimmer' thing. problem clip -- ten seconds on Vimeo and you have to watch closely. Also attached a screen shot here. Can someone please help?!?

Note: I render with LRTimelapse and the results are fine ... PD puts on the shimmer.


Hi Nick

I think the fact that you are not getting a great response may be down to the fact that what you explain is very difficult to see. However, I had a look at the still under magnification and could see what I thought might be due to, too higher an ISO setting creating some noise. I don't know if you were using manual or auto settings, but checking the ISO may be worth a try.

Also, have you checked "Reduce Blocky Artifacts" in preferences > produce - Reduce Blocky Artifacts.

Thanks ... it is hard to see in what I posted but it's there. ISO varies and it's not high when this happens; it varies. I am stumped and it's frustrating. Maybe I can find a worse example and put it up there ...




Also ... my original render from LRTimelapse is unaffected with no problems ... it's a PD issue.


That's why I said this: Also, have you checked "Reduce Blocky Artifacts" in preferences > produce - Reduce Blocky Artifacts.


I've had another look and I think it is something to do with compression. If you produce in H264 try H265 or XAVC or visa versa.




Thanks will try! Appreciate it, and everyone's help.

Hello,



For me this is a "compression" problem and not necessarily through PD14 but possibly of your support card (SD or better). It happens many times. Have you tried an other editing prog to compare?

Success!

As a last resort, try rendering in Quicktime, I've heard that it handles banding very well




Thanks again everyone ... still working on it ... AVC and H265 helped a bit but still there. Alain, not sure what you mean by support card' ... you mean my computer graphics card?

Alain is quite right. Make sure your card is speed class 10 and UHS speed class 3
