Flickering in animation

This is a 4 seconds SL16 render... http://www.imagix.dk/ftp/sequence_01.mp4

It's been cropped to show a darker portion of the image that has quite a bit of flickering! There is noise too, but that's expected and can be reduced using a different lighting setup.

Question is... What's causing the flickering and how do I avoid it? Maybe...
- meshing the floor plane
- not using grass for the carpet
- avoiding specific light types
- anything else

Recommendations much appreciated!!

Thanks
Anders

I'd take a look at the frame numbers where you suddenly see a difference and check the corresponding MXI files, see if they've rendered to the same SL. If they have, open next their corresponding MXS files and see if there might be something different in them. Render them separately and see if they still show the difference.

Thanks Mihai. Yes, I realised that my budget limit had been reached on Rebusfarm, so most frames was a little off in sl reached.

it does look like different SL and not over-lapping surfaces. everything is flickering, not only the floor.
