I attempted a sunrise sequence and I have proccessed it 3 times now and I cant get it to not have the terrible flicker. I adjusted ISO and exposure to get the metering correct while shooting.

My preview/graph in LRTimelapse is attached below.

Hi, this looks really bad. How comes there is so much flicker in the sequence?
How often have you adjusted settings? Is every little "sawtooth" a manual adjustment? This would be way too often.

The first time was okay, there is no flickering in the left part but then it starts. When adjusting in the middle you made an error and corrected afterwards. All this is not really good. I would recommend capturing the scene again. Normally 3 to 6 adjustments of one EV each would be sufficient for a sunset.

For this sequence I would recommend clearing all keyframes and only using deflicker. Play with the smoothing slider until the curve matches.

Thanks Gunther! When you say match the curves...Which curves? This comes down to me not fully understanding the Deflicker portion...I see that the Red and Blue are oppostites of each other and the Green line is in between the blue line and non jagged...
