FlickerRemoveMatte In the S_FlickerRmMatte Plugin. Removes temporal flickering from the Source clip using a Matte clip to specify the area where the average brightness should remain constant. To use this effect, select a Source frame that has the desired brightness within the Matte, and hit the Set Hold Level button. When other frames are processed, their brightness will be scaled so the average brightness within the Matte is equal to the Hold Level. You can keyframe different Hold Level values over time to account for desirable brightness changes. Inputs: Source:  The clip to remove flicker from. Matte:  The white of this clip specifies which Source areas to measure the flicker from. It can be inverted with the Invert Matte parameter.

Parameters:

Set Hold Level:   Push-button.
Pressing this button sets the Hold Level parameter to the average Source brightness within the Matte at the current frame. It causes the output to equal the Source at this frame. (This will not work properly when in 'Redraw:Never' mode.)

Hold Level:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0.01 or greater.
The requested average output brightness for the area within the Matte.

Invert Matte:   Check-box,  Default: off,  Shared.
If enabled, the black and white of the matte are inverted before use.

Measured Flicker:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 or greater.
When processing, this parameter is automatically adjusted to record the amount of flicker at each frame. You can copy the keyframes to a parameter in other effect in order to match the flicker in a different clip, or adjust the brightness on certain frames. Changing this parameter manually has no effect.
