Flicker Addition

Why remove flicker with the Resolve FX Flicker Removal plugin when you can add it instead? Found in the Resolve FX Transform category, the Flicker Addition plugin adds rapidly animated exposure changes to make the image appear to flicker, creating animated effects that would be difficult to keyframe manually. When applied to an image in different ways, this plugin can be used to simulate torchlight, firelight, light fixtures with old ballasts or frayed wiring, or any temporally unstable light

source. For example, you could key only the highlights of a night-time image, and use Flicker Addition to affect those isolated highlights.

Two groups of controls let you control the quality of this flickering.

Main Controls

These controls let you choose how to apply the flicker, and its overall speed and intensity.

Flicker Type: This pop-up menu lets you apply the flicker as a Lift, Gamma, Gain, Vignette, or Alpha adjustment.

Range slider: This lets you set how widely the flickering will vary.

Speed: This lets you adjust how quickly the flickering is animated.

Smoothness: This slider lets you adjust the temporal quality of the flickering, whether it changes abruptly from one value to another (at lower settings) or whether it makes more continuous transitions from one value to another (at higher settings).

Flicker R, G, B Channels: Three checkboxes let you choose which color channels are affected by this flickering.
