How to Fix Rolling Shutter on Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera: Proven Methods

Method 1: Adjust the Shutter Speed

1. Open the camera's menu and navigate to the Settings tab.

2. Select Shutter Speed and set it to a higher value. A faster shutter speed will reduce the amount of rolling shutter.

3. Experiment with different shutter speeds until you find one that minimizes rolling shutter while still allowing enough light into the camera.

Method 2: Use a Higher Frame Rate

1. Open the camera's menu and navigate to the Settings tab.

2. Select Frame Rate and set it to a higher value. A higher frame rate will reduce the amount of time between each frame, which will help to minimize rolling shutter.

3. Experiment with different frame rates until you find one that minimizes rolling shutter while still allowing the camera to capture smooth video.

Method 3: Enable Global Shutter Mode

Some Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras have a global shutter mode that can be enabled. This mode will eliminate rolling shutter completely, but it will also reduce the camera's dynamic range.

To enable global shutter mode, open the camera's menu and navigate to the Settings tab. Then, select Global Shutter and set it to On.

Method 4: Use a Rolling Shutter Fixer Plugin

There are several plugins available that can help to fix rolling shutter in post-production. These plugins work by analyzing the video footage and correcting the distortion caused by rolling shutter.

Some popular rolling shutter fixer plugins include:

- Adobe After Effects's Warp Stabilizer effect

- Premiere Pro's Rolling Shutter Repair effect

- Davinci Resolve's Smooth Motion effect

Method 5: Shoot in a Different Way

If you can't eliminate rolling shutter completely, there are a few things you can do to minimize its effects. These include:

- Avoiding fast camera movements.

- Shooting at a higher shutter speed.

- Using a tripod or other stabilization device.

- Cropping the video footage to remove the areas affected by rolling shutter.
