Hi, I did this holy grail video, in manual, which I overeposed to try to keep the highlights not going crazy.

I did have about 3-4 manual changes in shutter speed but they seem to have affected the way the sun looks.

I have made the changes in each keyframe to make it look more seamless but it looks like the auto transition ruins this.

I've tried 7 different takes and nothing seems to work. Any thoughts?

I've uploaded it here

Sure, overexposing is a very bad idea.
The overexposed areas cannot be recovered. For those sequences it's crucial that you rather underexpose and not blow the highlights too much - furthermore you should do more and smaller adjustments, 1/3 stops would be ideal.

Have you tried with a ND gradient slightly inclined so it can block some light from the sun? I do that often and it works great.

Have you fried the visual deflicker option on LRT? It should fix that flickering.

Cheers,
Alfonso

Thanks, I'm almost there, had to do do a lot of redfine in the visual deflicker https://youtu.be/-qv2qHhES9g still a bit in the beginning not quite right.

For info, I meant I underexposed the photos to the max, not overposed. But the dynamic range in the 5d mk3 can only go that far!
