First off, Gunther, Many thanks for developing what seems to be a viable software solution for flicker in time lapse for Mac users. The other features look like a great bonus bundle.
My experience with LR-Tl is brief but fairly intensive, and I have run into an issue.
Background: LR 3.3 (3.4 as of 1 hour ago), LR-Tl 1.2, OS 10.6, lossy uncompressed NEFs.
Technique (In brief):
LR - choose files, adjust first image (1 star/keyframe), select rest, sync settings, re-adjust last image (1 star/keyframe), save metadata to files.
LR-Tl - choose files, select auto transition, adjust de-flicker parameters, save metadata to files.
(I subsequently export my images (from LR) as appropriately-sized jpegs to assemble in QuickTime Pro.)
Results in/from LR:
De-flicker is good/great. Problem is that there is a large jump in adjusted parameters (e.g. exposure) between second last and last image.
(With some testing I need to amend this, see NOTE below.)
My (less-than-satisfactory) solution: Delete last frame from image group before assembly/render as video.
NOTE:
On subsequent testing it may be a white balance issue, which happened when using LR presets for WB (Cloudy, Shade etc) in the last image. If I adjust the slider just a little to change it to ‘Custom’ in the last image there was a successful transition. The remainder of the images were ‘As Shot’ before transition implemented.
A minor point (this may have been raised already) in the GUI the label “Exposure Affect” should probably read “Exposure Effect”,
Again, many thanks,
Peter Cooney.
