Hi Gunther,
I've been asked to do a long timelapse, c.3 minutes in length, and have decided my only option is to shoot in jpg. Shooting in RAW would exceed even my 64GB card.
Looking at your Holy Grail tutorial and the 4th video by Serge Ramelli I see that when doing the "Match Total Exposure" command, any subsequent adjustments of the 3-star keyframes were very minor. But I'm having to do an incredible amount of work between the 2- and 3-star keyframes, particularly with the Gradient tool and Adjustment Brush. Is this a normal part of shooting in jpg?
This is time consuming but okay. However, after saving the Metadata, reloading it into LRT, checking the Auto Transition, Deflicker and Save commands, and importing the Metadata into LR, many of the changes I did on the keyframes were changed slightly. Everything looks great prior to Saving Metadata and Reloading in LRT. But after reading the Metadata in LR, there is a significant alteration in each keyframe's brightness. The Mean column in LRT has quite a jump too between keyframes: 0.298 and 0.452. Is this important?
Difficult to explain in writing, I know, but this has me baffled. Why do the colour values in a keyframe change from LR after Reloading it into LRT? Shouldn't they be the only frames that remain exempt from any alteration by the Auto Transition command?
Apologies for the lengthy ramble. I've used Photoshop for years and don't mind any changes I have to make after Match Total Exposure. But why does each keyframe's tone values change so much, making much of the work I did in LR pointless?
Cheers,
Ray
