    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.
