How to deflicker time lapse - 2 Pass advanced workflow
Why not have LR-Timelapse make multiple passes (which would require code changes to LR-timelapse) instead of manually doing one pass on the raw files and another on the jpegs? I think doing two (or 3 or 4) passes is not the same as increasing the effect but doing only one pass (right?).

You are right, the effect is not the same. Sure it would be nice if LRTimelapse could do the intermediate passes - only problem is that the development is done by Adobe Camera RAW / Lightroom, and I fear it well not be possible to run them seemless as batch in Background...

Oops - I forgot that you are not actually altering the image data. Does LR-Timelapse attempt to 100% fix the flickering? I haven't run it in a few days, I also can't remember if the deflcikering has a control for how "strong" it is. I gues the problem is that it is nearly impossible for the deflickering algorithm to know exactly how much a change in exposure (in the sidecar files) will alter the brightness - it's an "open loop" process is the other issue (2nd pass, on the joeg files, makes it more "closed loop").

What's wrong?
You should change the exposure of the new generated JPGs a little bit, sync and write metadata. See: http://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-rule-no-1

I've seen a few video tutorials where people first color grade the images using Bridge/Lightroom and THEN use LRTimelapse to deflicker. Is this OK or do I need to first deflicker with LRTimelapse and THEN color grade using Adobe software?

it's okay, to first color grade. You should only take into account what I wrote regarding the image processing: http://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-i-tr...flickering

Hi,
LRTimelapse is great, but I am having the Deflicker problem. Can you please tell me how to export the sequence as jpegs from Bridge so that I can use this two-pass method?
I used tools>photoshop>image processor, but somehow the new files are remembered by LRTimelapse - the metadata and adjustments etc.
I expected when I used the image processor that the changes made in Camera Raw would then be embedded into the new jpegs and no adjustments would be there, but this does not seem to be the case?

Hi, check out the workflow at http://lrtimelapse.com/#tabs-8-0-4 - Step 4b) Post processing as a JPG-Sequence
The key would be to check "minimize metadata" (or similar, I don't have bridge here currently) when exporting.
