Re: [Avid-L2] Best Fix for Fluorescent Flicker / Color Change?

FlickerFiX would be my recommendation as well. I didn't realize
GenArts or Boris even had a flicker reducing plugin. The difference
with Boris and Sapphire is that once you've spent the money, the
package can be used for far more things than just fixing flicker.

Another thought is that GenArts now RENTS their plugins by the month
if you want, so you can get Sapphire for the month for something like
$140. Then charge that back to the moron DP who shot the faulty
footage...unless that's YOUR company, of course... :-)
