During holy grail transitions I am missing the possibility to use different ND Filters in front of my lens - this would help to avoid the choppy kind of video where the shutter speed is very high.
During regular video we strive to use a shutter speed in the order of 1 divided by frame rate x 2, e.g. 25 fps = 1/50 of a second to keep the balance within the frame between crisp steady and slightly blurry moving objects.
In day to night timelapses I keep the lens fully open, thus have to use shutter speeds of 1/2000 or even 1/4000 sec during the bright parts of the ensuing video which makes for a not-very-cinematic look.
When I use ND filters, LRTimelapse has no way to recognize the removal (or addition) of ND filters, so holy grail wizard can't deal with this.
I don't know if it would be possible to integrate a functionality like this, but I would even be ready to write this information into the EXIF data manually.
Best regards, Hagen
