Deflicker not work

Offline
#1 drinksen
Hello

I have tried to edit this sunset footage with holy grail method applied. However the deflicker cannot work for this. Even I manually test to edit one deflicker value (#12) but no effect for zigzag sequence.

The corresponding files are placed here:

May I know what I have done wrong. Appreciate your feedback~

Regards~

First of all make sure that you have the latest Adobe DNG Converter installed, otherwise Deflicker won't work, see: https://lrtimelapse.com/install/
Also make sure to have configured the correct Lightroom Version under "Settings / Masks Version" in LRTimelapse.

Also check out the deflicker tutorial, work with a proper reference area: https://lrtimelapse.com/tutorial/basic

If the problems persist, please attach screenshots of your curves (visual previews activated and deactivated) and a link to the rendered video.

It seems I have found out the reason
I tested 2 sets of same sequence of raw files, one with manual added linear gradient filters, another with manual added linear gradient and circular filters. The deflicker could not worked for latter one.

I know there are 4 linear gradient filters and the 2 circular ones internally provided/used by LRT.
#1 That means it works fine for the manual linear gradient but not for circular one?

But during my workflow, the preset circular masks (LRT Mask 5 & 6) are not initially existed. It will shows up after I create manual added linear gradient filters, press auto-transition in LRT, and then go back to Lightroom mask section.
#2 That means do I have to retouch keyframes separately for the linear gradient filters and circular ones?

If you start your workflow correctly in LRTimelapse, all Masks will be preset - linear and circular ones. You need to use the ones provided.
I'd recommend to redo the sequence from scratch: remove it from Lightroom, then in LRTimelapse do "Metadata / Initialize".
Now do the workflow as described in the tutorials and instructions: https://lrtimelapse.com/workflow/visual

Understand and got it. "Read Metadata from Files from the LR menu" and 6 preset masks are now there.
Thank you.
