Lightroom AE workflow i feel stupid - lerroy - 2011-09-01 Hi Thanks for this great program and for putting in all time to help photographers and fellow time-lapse enthusiasts. Thank you. this is my current workflow Shot footage import into lightroom edit photos retouch etc. export tif or hi res jpeg import into AE CS4 and edit render all done i have just made a video that im semi happy with that's almost 5 minutes long its made up of 35 scenes however 3 or 4 have some bad flicker that i would like to fix http://www.vimeo.com/28254943 i imported the jpg files that i used for the movie and followed your video, sync settings etc and saving meta data. i then opened them in LRtimelapse and selected de flicker moved the line till it was straight and then saved opened light room again and read data all ok. however when i then export them and import into AE the flicker is still apparent So Im guess Im doing something wrong ? can you explain better workflow for me The only step that Im missing is the part where you edited the last shot too whatever white balance you wanted. i wasn't sure what this was for ? i do not want my images to change balance and or exp only to de-flicker is this the step im screwing up on ? sorry to be a pain RE: Lightroom AE workflow i feel stupid - Gunther - 2011-09-01 Hi Lerroy, these are really great shots and I would like to see them properly deflickert. I'm convinced that that is no Problem with LRTimelapse, if you do it right. Some questions: Did you shoot raw? If so you should deflicker on a RAW basis before exporting to the final tif/jpgs you are going to use in After Effects. Please take care of the tips I gave here for editing, to obtain the best results.

Otherwise Aftereffects might apply your deflicker a second time, making it worse! Quote:So Im guess Im doing something wrong ? can you explain better workflow for me Okay, I would do it like this:

Keep up the good work and let me know if you could improve your result. I would be delighted if you would share your video in our showroom once its ready.

Im still learning but i think i have made a big improvements to some of the scenes. Intact one scene I did not include at all because it was so flickery, but now been able to add it in. Lr timlapae is absolutely incredible i cant wait to use it on another up-coming time-lapse Thanks again |
