sorry to spoil the fun a bit but I do see artifacts in the areas that were shown to be flicker-sensitive in BB's example / my difference post.

Those artifacts however migt as well be due to: draft low sample - quality (jagged edges, low AA), and H264 mpg compression (smoothing background variation), and are not that visible since those areas (shadow between object parts in the bot) are moving.

so I would like to see the robot standing still in a final high quality take, for the sake of this thread.

On the other hand, the take shows very well that the flickering we're discussing in this thread is not the worst effect of all. But that might be different for the results the OP is working on.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
