I have a huge 116 hour time lapse that I'm starting to work on. LR is showing 32256 files! wow. Currently the job is separated by card in twenty four hour segments. A full day (24 hours) is somewhere between 5~6,000 files.
For what it's worth, a D700 with a Sandisk 64GB card and new EN EL4a battery will get you a solid twenty-four hours of TL at one frame per 15 seconds.
I am going to refresh myself with the LRT workflow in the tutorials and the book. But I'm wondering how to break up the continuous 116 hours of time lapse.
Twelve hours is about 2750 frames. Maybe this would be a good segment size? It seems an overlap in processing is necessary to accomplish a smooth flow.
It's a construction scene so there is very little lighting change during the night, my biggest changes are during the day and obviously the sunset /sunrise transition.
Anyway, any ideas on how to break this up and then put it all together would be helpful.
