ND Fiter - change integration - Hagen - 2016-11-25 During holy grail transitions I am missing the possibility to use different ND Filters in front of my lens - this would help to avoid the choppy kind of video where the shutter speed is very high. During regular video we strive to use a shutter speed in the order of 1 divided by frame rate x 2, e.g. 25 fps = 1/50 of a second to keep the balance within the frame between crisp steady and slightly blurry moving objects. In day to night timelapses I keep the lens fully open, thus have to use shutter speeds of 1/2000 or even 1/4000 sec during the bright parts of the ensuing video which makes for a not-very-cinematic look. When I use ND filters, LRTimelapse has no way to recognize the removal (or addition) of ND filters, so holy grail wizard can't deal with this. I don't know if it would be possible to integrate a functionality like this, but I would even be ready to write this information into the EXIF data manually. Best regards, Hagen RE: ND Fiter - change integration - Gunther - 2016-11-25 Hi Hagen, in my opinion removing ND filters while shooting is not a really good idea. The main problem is, that right after removal the images will get much brighter. The chance of blowing the succeeding shots is very high. Additionally any removal will not only cause a change in brightness, but also a more or less subtile change in color rendition that can be a pain to remove seamlessly. I'm not speaking of limitations in LRTimelapse - you can do both with LRTimelapse.
Hope I could help. I will move this to faq. RE: ND Fiter - change integration - Hagen - 2016-11-25 Thanks for the consideration Gunter - makes sense! Will try both methods & post my experiences. |
