P3 Update Reviews Boris Continuum Complete 8

Posted on February 13, 2013 by Boris FX

Flicker Fixer

“The Image Restoration group of filters includes the Flicker Fixer. This tool offers a choice of intra-frame analysis or temporal flicker smoothing, allowing you to repair video affected by a flickering light source or uneven shutter exposure. One day this filter will save your life by solving a real-world problem. Here’s an example: I was shooting some footage on a sunny Florida golf course in 20 mph winds. Fast-moving clouds were causing iris problems, so I switched my iris to auto, but that made the footage a bit jumpy as it compensated for the constantly changing light. The BCC Flicker Fixer was able to even out the footage and save the shoot, which more than paid for the whole Boris Continuum Complete filter set.”
