3,5 days timelapse - Lapso - 2017-01-05 Hey Timelapse-Friends, I shot a 3,5 days timelapse of a building in different light situations. Right now i'm not sure how i get clean results with Lrt and Lightroom. I have the feeling that the 'Auto Transitions'-Function is doing it worse!? Here are the technical informations: - camera: canon 5D III - 5.000 Rawpictures - clean exposure adjustments in dust and dawn - the end result should be something between 10 and 40 seconds. (I did a way more pictures for safety reasons...) I tried follow all the holygrail-tutorials...and i have no clue what is going wrong!? Here are some screenshots of my keyframes: [Image: https://picload.org/image/rawrgwwa/bildschirmfoto2017-01-04um21.0.png] I don't know, why the numbers for the 'Visual Luminance' a going so up? Is there a way how i can make manual adjustments?

In your case 3.5 days is not really "long term" - so I guess you are planning to use all frames and have a rather constant intervall to show the transitions between day and night. However on your screenshots I see some strange things: 1.) no aperture in the exif data - if you want to use the holy grail wizard, you need complete exif data written by the camera. 2.) A lot of subseqent 2* keyframes (the orange triangles) - why are they there? From what I see, you seem to have done somethings against the way LRTimelapse works. But without knowing more about how you shot (M/Av) and how you did the day to night ramping, it's impossible to give any further advices. I can only say, that those 2* keyframes will mess up everything if you use the holy grail wizard. RE: 3,5 days timelapse - Lapso - 2017-01-08 Hey Gunther, thanks for the response. On this timelapse i was working with a Walimex-Cinelense with a manual iris...that's the reason for the missing aperture. But i just inserted it in LRT (Metadata>Define Aperture) and the many subsequent 2* Keyframes are gone! :-) I've two more questions, because it is still not working properly: 1.Is it possible to use a Picture as a Keyframe when it is a HolyGrain-Frame at the same time? I did this and exactly on this position is a giant gap in the Visual Luminance and even Auto Transition is doing crazy things here. 2. Is there a way to reset the values in the 'Auto Transition', when i realize, in the 'Visual Preview' that i have to change some color corrections in lightroom and ad some keyframes!? RE: 3,5 days timelapse - Gunther - 2017-01-08 1.) No, you can't - the regular keyframes cannot overwrite a 2*/3* keyframe, otherwise the holy grail wizard won't work. 2.) Of course you can go back to LR (remember to save/load in both programs) and change keyframes, then in LRT after reloading just apply the auto transition again. RE: 3,5 days timelapse - Lapso - 2017-01-09 1.) But what can i do, when the 'Visual Luminance' is getting brighter and i can't change anything cause of the holy grails?

Change the Aperture on a manual lens? Only thing you can do is exchange those two orange keyframes with blue ones (4*) and then adjust the exposure manually on those two until they have the same brightness. |
