No worries.
I often come back to this simple method after trying the more elaborate methods like Furnace etc. If this doesn't do the job, CurveTools is a good way to visualise what's going on before and after the deflicker, and of course to do the actual deflicker with a more technical approach.

Frank,

Keeping it for future reference - thanks!

I've used GenArts/Sapphire FlickerMatch in the past and had good results, but *free* is always a better solution! ;^)

I often find that the easiest deflicker setup works best and fastest for global flicker: use a frame hold to and divide a blurred version of it by the moving footage that is blurred by the same amount. Than multiply the result back onto the original footage:

Group {
 inputs 0
 name Group1
 label "flickering footage"
 selected true
 xpos -329
 ypos -406
}
 CheckerBoard2 {
  inputs 0
  name CheckerBoard1
  xpos -166
  ypos -317
 }
 Transform {
  rotate {{frame*10}}
  scale 1.8
  center {1024 778}
  name Transform1
  xpos -166
  ypos -245
 }
 Multiply {
  value {{random(frame)}}
  name Multiply1
  xpos -166
  ypos -219
 }
 Shuffle {
  alpha white
  name Shuffle1
  xpos -166
  ypos -181
 }
 Output {
  name Output1
  xpos -166
  ypos -81
 }

Hi! Looking for tips and tricks on removing light flicker from stop motion/timelapse animation in post, any leads?
Nuke preferably, but also open to plugins and other options.

Thanks in advance.
