Title: LRTimelapse and bulb ramping
Post by: screamer on July 28, 2012, 10:26:26 PM
Hi guys,
today i'm trying for the first time lrtimelapse (http://lrtimelapse.com/)
It's a very powerful software, that is used to set all you need about timelapses (like deflickering and other things, such as keyframing every aspect of the scene in time).
And i've tried it with a old bulb ramp that i've discarded because it was too flickering. And surprisingly the result with LRtimelapse is quite interesting. The idea behind this software is very genial, in my opinion. It is like a brain, that calculates all the parameters needed in lightroom frame by frame. Then it saves all this calculation in the metadata of files, and when back in lightroom, you only need to reimport the metadata et voilĂ , the timelapse is done. for me is amazing! :)

I use it  for timelapse too, for me is great to make the video file direct from LR, and you can also used editing functions as effects on the timelapse without need to have video editing software.

@scrax: that's the point. You finally can keyframe all the lightroom stuff over the time and export directly the video. for me is better than afterfx for timelapses :))
if someone is interested here is a video of the new (no more free) version (http://vimeo.com/45603257#at=0). Actually i'm using the previous version that you can download for free on rttimelapse site, but i think i will buy the new version soon because i love that new interface and all those new functions.
