  jumps of brightness in timelapse footage

  Posted by Sebastian Martinez on April 23, 2007 at 9:14 am

  hi folks!
  first question – simple question: currently i’m working on a timelapse shot on dawn with a digital photo-camera. due to the changing light situation the apature of the camera changed. the result is a sequence with obvious sudden jumps in the brightness from one frame to another. i tried different ways with “contrast”, “auto-color” and other effects but with poor results.

  does anyone of you guys know any solutions to create a smooth dawn timelapse?

  hey kevin,

  thanks for that fast help!

  it took a while until i was trying that echo-effect on the timelapse footage. a good idea but for some reason i couldn’t figure out it didn’t help much. i kept on trying and found another way that worked for myself: the cc force motion blur – motion blur levels onto 20 or even higher and shutter angle as open as you can get it to 3600. works neat n’ tidy.

  keep on klickin’
