Hello Gunther,
I've been making stereo3D timelapse for some months now, and it's quite fun to do! As I'm shooting with dual camera system, I'd need some really minor enhancements, that only help me to apply same treatment to both left and right sequence. For animated params, it's straightforward. I can even duplicate metadata files from one sequence to the other, as filenames are consistent. But what I can't do is replicate deflicking settings. I don't wan't to duplicate deflicking results, but only deflicking settings, as both cameras probably need slightly different deflickings.
All I need is 2 text boxes for entering (or just reading out) strength and smoothing values.
While speaking about deflicker, I have another suggestion, related to a 'trick' I've found, that may interest many people :
When using very high smoothing values, you can easily alter exposure + or - 1/3 stop. That means you can manually compensate light variations while shooting, by 1/3 stop step on exposure time, then use LRT deflicker to smooth every 1/3 stop jump. I've done it. It's amazing how easy and efficient it is!
To get this result, I need to use very high smoothing value, always over '40' and usually not far from the right end.
What I'd love is more precision when setting smoothing in this area. I feel there's a lot of intermediate results I can't get because of slider discrete values...
hope I was clear enough, thanx for reading, and thanx again for wasting your life on such a masterpiece!
Hope you're on holidays, and won't read this before september...
