Ashampoo Video Deflicker

One of the main issues when recording video indoors, with lights that have their strobe linked at the electrical power frequency is the appearance of flicker in the output video. This can be corrected manually, in the field, or removed with specialized, often complicated software. Ashampoo Video Deflicker is a tool that aims at providing an uncluttered yet capable solution for removing video flicker and performing some basic clip editing.

The application boasts a well-designed interface that offers a layout which promotes a logical step-by-step workflow. Thanks to its main video preview area and the adjacent, left and bottom panels, users can process their videos quickly and comprehensively.

The on-screen playback controls allow for previewing the video, with or without the applied settings and the dedicated deflicker feature enables one to adjust both the strength and the smoothing. Several sections of the same video can also be added and edited simultaneously, for yielding multiple output clips.

The flicker removal process is fully automated and all that users need to do is to select the preferred strength and smoothing. During our tests, we didn’t encounter any lags in operation, and even the preview of the effects was almost instantaneous.

Those who require a bit more processing in their videos can also select to adjust the white balance, exposure or saturation. Last but not least, cropping the videos can be achieved by using the friendly controls which come with a set of predefined aspect ratios.

Users who require a way of removing flicker from their videos and also lightly process them can give Ashampoo Video Deflicker a try. Its set of minimalist yet capable features is competent enough for doing a solid job of enhancing the video quality.
