[size=x-large]Removal of blurring with Deshaker[/size]
Some of you may know the problem that the camera tripod wobbles in the wind.
I had this problem on my last time lapse. Here to see the blurred result:

After this bad result I was looking on the internet for a solution and I found --> Deshaker.
This is the result with Deshaker:

I found the results really well, so now I write a little guide to remove blurring with Deshaker.
How I did it:
1st Normal editing with Lightroom and LRTimelapse
2nd Edited photos saved as jpeg--> Here you must choose the Custom Sequence(I do not know how it is correctly called in the english version of lightroom).
It is important that the photos are numbered-->we need this later in Virtualdub
3rd
- download Virtualdub
- download Deshaker--> http://www.guthspot.se/video/files/Deshaker30.zip
unzip the file and move it into the plugin folder in Virtualdub
- install the Xvid codec ---> http://www.xvid.org/Downloads.15.0.html
4th
Open Virtualdub and set the framerate
Menu Options -> Preferences -> Images
Default frame rate to 25.000 (or what you want)
5th
Loading the photos
Menu File -> Open video file
File type Image Sequence
Here you select the first image with the foldername 1 and select ok.
The all other images in the folder are automatically loaded.
6th
select Deshaker:
Menu Video -> Filters -> Add-> Deshaker3.0-> ok
Now you see a new window
(I haven´t changed the settings and click ok)
Now you see the window with the filter: Deshaker3.0 (Pass1) and click ok
7th
Now you can adjust the window size of the two preview windows by a right click ----> for example: Zoom 25%
8th
Analyze the photos:
Click on Play0 (bottom left corner) -> now you see two preview windows (the right window have little white and red dots)
---> Wait until it's finished
---> Now click on First Frame Rewind(the button next to Play0)
9th
second Deshakerfilter:
Menu Video -> Filters -> Add-> Deshaker3.0--> ok
Select in this window Pass2
--->edge composition ---> choose Fixed zoom
Then click ok
10th In the next window:remove the hook by Deshaker3.0 (Pass1)
11th Setting the video size
(in the same window)
Add -> resize ---> ok
choose the desired size of the video
and click ok
12th select the video codec
Menu Video -> Compression
Select Xvid MPEG-4 codec
--> Configure: here you can change the quality (I think 4 is a good choice)
13th save the video
F7 and then click save
I hope you can follow my instructions.
