  Fluctuating Lighting

  Posted by Garth Vickers on April 7, 2011 at 8:50 am

  Hi guys,

  I’m editing a timelapse video of two kitchens being built, the problem I have is the skylighting in the warehouse makes the exposure fluctuate throughout the two days of filming (due to clouds on a sunny day). This appears as a strobing effect as its played so fast.

  Does anybody know a way I can maybe use the luminosity of a specific area in the footage to drive exposure corrections in order to cancel out the problem?

  cheers,

  Garth

  Maybe a slider control that adjusts the histogram of the levels effect?

  The Color Stabilizer effect [link] can be used to reduce flicker in timelapse photography.
