I have sony vegas pro 9 and sometimes i get that little bit of flicker that ruons your greenscreen or masking you had in mind, I know it would be easier to just try to avoid it but its sometimes unstoppable. Any tutorials from final cut or other editing programs are also welcome 
I had a bit of a problem with this when I was making my Boost Juice ad. I'm surprised how simple it was to fix it - I took the frames into Office Picture Manager (so the default viewer of photos if you have MS Office installed) and sorted them into groups - ones slightly lighter than normal, ones darker, and normal frames. Then I made the lighter ones a wee bit darker and vice versa for the dark frames. It came out looking better, so I guess that's the main thing! But it does take a bit of work.
There might be some software somewhere that colour-corrects images too....but I think it's much simpler if you're ultra careful when filming masked shots and make sure there is no random light.
I put white paper over my light. It reduces light flicker and difficulties of such. 
What if you have an auto-control camera and light flicker is caused by its automaticness? What happens most of the time with my camera is that it shifts between capturing white light and yellow-ish light. I supposed I could divide these into two groups and color correct, but is there another way?
By a camera with all manual controls. In other words, the Logitech Quick Cam 9000. 
I found another way. Download VirtualDub (Get It Here - http://www.virtualdub.org/ ) , and then find a plugin called MSU Deflicker (Get that here - http://compression.ru/video/deflicker/index_en.html ) and save it in VirtualDub's plugins folder. These are both free. When you've made the .avi file, open VirtualDub and select Video>Filters and press ADD. Search for deflicker plugin and click OK when the deflicker plugin window comes up. This should probably work. 
I would dearly reccomend the Quickcam pro 9000. I have ordered mine. It should be good
How can you recommend something you don't have StormTrooper305?

Hype. If people say it's good then it must be good. Odd logic, but it's what some people go by.
I've used my 9000 for close to a year now, and it is in fact very nice. The picture quality is awesome if you can get the settings right. But even though it is good, I'm still not really fond of people going around promoting products based on what other people say. If your going to promote something, at least try it out first.

That's not even relevant to this discussion. I understand that you're excited about your QC9000, but please stop stuffing it down our throats.

As good as the 9000 is, you can still get garbage quality from it. It all depends on your lighting and setup. Just getting a 9000 will not stop me from getting light flicker will it? No it won't.
