Using maskes - chrisware24 - 2014-09-12
Hi Gunther
I just made a time-lapse in an ice arena. The time-lapse was of the ice being made and painted with logos. The ice is painted white, then the logos are added, then more ice. So the exposure changes a lot.
Over the course of the shoot, the center oval, where the ice forms, changes exposure by 2 stops. But the arena as a whole doesn't change much.
My workflow
1. I created manual keyframes in LRT
2. Opened all the keframes in ARC and made basic adjustments.
3. I then added a mask with the brush tool to the ice area.
4. I ramped the exposure slowly from frame to frame in ACR.
5. I then reloaded all frames in LRT
6. I applied AutoTransSpecial
Unfortunately there was no ramp of exposure for the masked ice area. What am I doing wrong?
thanks!

I watched your basic workflow demo video. I see that you have radial masks that LRT creates, which can be used in LR.
Does LRT create any animated masks to be used in ACR?
thanks

Hi Chris,
you can use the circular gradienst or linear gradients that LRT creates on initialization. Painted masks are not supported.
