Camera/Light (LED, Fluorescent) sync problems causing rolling bands.
Time lapse suffers from variation in exposures. Archival footage flickers because of old cameras or lights. Slow Motion (or High Speed) Video can be affected by the flickering of electric lights. TVs and computer monitors cause flickering when out of sync with the camera Flicker Free de-flickers all these types of footage and more. It’s an incredibly powerful tool to fix a problem that sometimes renders video footage unusable.
