I absolutely love LRTimelapse and how easy it makes timelapses now. I've recently been toying with the Holy Grail method but have encountered some issues on every one I've tried so far.
I think I'm following the correct method. Set my initial keyframes, select the holy grail wizard, save, make my edits in Lightroom, return and reload my XMP data and then auto transition and visual preview. My issues are as follows:
1. In the timelapse I'm currently working on I have set 4 manual keyframes. I then set the holy grail keyframes as seen in the attached image. I edit my 4 keyframed images in Lightroom to my liking and then reload them to LR Timelapse. Even though the exposure of all the images was OK in Lightroom, when the holy grail curve is added, the luminance/exposure of the entire sequence goes much too bright. I have tried rotating and stretching the curve but cannot find a working set up. As you can see the 4 keyframes I set don't correspond to any exposure jumps so not really sure what I'm doing wrong.
2. Sometimes when I add the holy grail edits and then reload the other edited keyframe images from Lightroom back to LRT, I will get random spikes all along the purple luminance curve. These spikes don't correspond to keyframes or changes in settings. I have tried both regular edits and light edits but this still sometimes happens. Trying to use visual deflicker will fix it 90% but these spikes affect the overall pattern of luminance and give me a very wavy sequence which I can't use.
Some other notes:
- I have not altered the gradient/radial filters in any way.
- I have avoided using clarity or dehaze. Both set to 0.
- I mainly edit using the basic panel, tone curve, HSL, split toning, detail, lens corrections and calibration panels.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Let me know if you need any more information from me. Thanks.
