Holy Grail Time-lapse equalization

Hi!

As time-lapse is a widely used in film-project, and I would love to use DR for the complete equalization, coloring and editing process of it.

What I have to do today is equalize the brightness steps due to the exposure changes in LR-Timelapse. In addition I have to coarse adjust white balance and brightness inside Lightroom (which sometimes introduces flicker due to it's context sensitive behavior). Then I have to export TIFF-files 4-times the original CR2-file before I can edit it in DR.

If DR could read the exif-data from my CR2-files, and equalize the brightness directly, that would be great! (in addition to CR3 and RAW-files from other manufacturers)

The Open-FX Deflicker plugin does sometimes more harm than good if there is a lot of changes in the scene (sun, shadows, lights etc.). The best thing will always be to correct for the main reason for the flickering first

Try the color stabilizer.

Also, if you have access to a black magic camera, they just added per-frame metadata to .braw.

As mentioned the Deflicker effect isn't always perfect, so the Color Stabiliser is much more useful in many cases, as displayed in this video here:

I always forget about the color stabilizer....

Thanks for the video!

That filter is also very helpful when you have to denoise lowlight shots where after removing the chroma noise the black levels are dancing a bit from frame to frame.

Nice. I will merge the deflicker and the color stabilizer tools if it was up to me in order to simplify…
