Hey folks, I am new to this topic and i tried out sth today.

I used LRTimelapse and LR and watched the tutorials. I shot 300 frames, between 1/15 and 5 secs and useds the holy grail method.

But I am not pleased with my result. The "transitions" are not so soft and it seems to be ultra fast. The interval was 12 secs

Furthermore I am staggerd by the "jumps" (when i changed the exposure), although I did what was told in the tutorial.

Any recommendations ?

BTW i shot in jpeg, next time it'll be raw

The link does not work - but some general advices:
Use Raw, use shorter intervals, make sure not to use too big adjustments (1/2, 2/3 stops if the sun ist still visible). You have to practice!

ohh so sry, the link is

Yeah i guess it is about raw and the interval. But I didnt want to shoot so many photos

That's the wrong attitude, man... :-)

But your result is not that bad - I think with some manual tweaking of the "jumps" you can get an even better result.

hey thanks

well actually i don't care about having a huge amount of shots, but it's not that good for the shutter of my cam i reckon ^^

how can i improve that? what exactly do you mean?

P.s. ich glaube du bist nen deutscher oder? naja, egal, jetzt schreibe ich ja im englisch forum haha

If you don't want to shoot so many pictures you get a shorter video - no way out.
When the speed is too high, use a shorter interval.
When you care about your shutter, don't shoot timelapse ;-)

okay i got it

in case i use shorter intervals, the video may be smoother, BUT i need even more frames for 2 hours of real time

Smoother isn't the point - it's playing slower. To get it smoother a exposure time of half the interval time (180° shutter) is useful and therefore you often need a ND-Filter (mostly during daylight).
If you're not familiar with those things take a look in Gunthers E-Book - there's everthing explained very well.

thx.

180 degree shutter? pardon?

can i find it here, the ebook?

You see the big ad at the right? ;-)
