Running a sequence twice though LRTimelapse?

Offline
#1 lucasfunkt
I've put a time lapse sequence through LRTimelapse and exported the files out to compile a video with Quicktime Pro.

The final video still has a fair amount of flicker in it. I had the camera shooting in Aperture Priority mode so this is understandable but I was wondering if it's possible to take these exported files and run them through LRTimelapse again with a higher deflicker setting?

When I search for the file in LRTimelapse it has no numbers next to it and doesn't look like it's possible.

Would it be as simple as renaming the already processed files?

This is what you want to do: http://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-how-...d-workflow

But please note that the most important thing when deflickering is to set the reference area right!

Thank you.

I'm still not entirely sure if I understand the purpose of the reference area.

It's setting a new overall brightness setting for the entire sequence....why do you need to do this, the whole photograph is important, how are you supposed to know which part to select?

Ideally select a part where only flicker is visible and no other short term changes in lightness, otherwise if you have changes in the image that are not flicker (contained in every sequence) you might introduce flicker by deflickering instead of removing it.

Examples would be: clear sky without clouds or a wall that keeps konstant lightning (apart from flickering) - or a piece of a street where no car passes etc...

Ah ok, I think I understand. So in this photo for example

Where abouts would you put the reference area?

It depends a bit of how the sequence changes, I would one of these areas:

It depends if there ure unsolicited things happening in those areas, for example if a seagull lands on one of the spots I marked, I wouldn't use it.

The idea is to use static regions.

Ah I see, right thank you, I was selecting the sky.

Alright I've learnt something here, thanks.
