Thin lines and sharp edges in images sometimes
flicker when shown on interlaced displays, such as many TV screens.
The Anti-flicker Filter control, located in the Effect Controls
tab > Motion effect, can reduce or eliminate this flicker. As
you increase its strength, more flicker is eliminated, but the image
also becomes softer. You may need to set it relatively high for
images with lots of sharp edges and high contrast.
- Select a clip in a Timeline panel, and click the
Effect Controls tab.
- Click the triangle next to the Motion heading to open
the Motion controls.
- Click the triangle next to the Anti-flicker Filter heading.
- Drag the Anti-flicker Filter slider to the right to increase
the strength of the filter.
- Press the spacebar to preview the clip. Increase the
filter strength if flicker is still visible, or decrease it if the
image is too soft.

You can change the intensity of the Anti-flicker
Filter over the duration of a clip by setting Anti-flicker Filter
keyframes at different values.
