  • jumps of brightness in timelapse footage

    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’
