sooo....
I have a particularly tricky sequence, I pulled aperture during a sunset and removed an nd filter at one point.  The exposures are all over the place but the sequence never clips.  I have 3 keyframes set (one at each end one in the middle).  Running the deflicker on the 0.5 percentile i end up with wildly more uneven exposure than in the original files., some frames are nearly black others really overexposed. The frames jump from light to dark with no reason that i can see - not corresponding to aperture or iso shifts.  I've also run it at .7 percentile and get a similar thing. What am I doing wrong?

this script is now the basis of my timelapse workflow.  I love it.  Is it possible to add dehaze to the script?

finding deflicker creating wildly flickery results on a sequence shot in aperture priority auto.  Also is the preview supposed to show the percentile within bridge?  If so mine doesn't.  Could these things be related?  (i'm using a a value of .6 for the percentile). 

Sorry for being dumb, if you had values of 50, 50, 50 ,50  would that be a rectangle that starts at 50% of the width of the image, and is 50% of the width of the image?  (in which case what does the 200 "analysis size" value above it refer to?

Another dumb question (I will get the hang of this)

Percentiles: are we talking histogram? in which case how does the amount relate to the preview? And how do you analyse your shot to know where these values should be?

thanks alex

Just starting out with this. After using panolapse and LRtimelapse I'm stoked, cant wait to get into it: seems to have a vastly less faffy workflow

Just a quickee: read this thread but couldn't see any info on the analysis crop.  are the x,y values percentage or pixel values?

Howdy folks, I'm in the middle of a multi-day timelapse.  First day things went really well, yesterday was a nightmare though - thick cloud cover giving way to bright sunshine.  auto ettr seemed to have a very tough time dealing with it, with the first shot after the sun going in being too dark and the then recovering - vice versa when the sun came out from behind a cloud.

Any ideas on how to deal with this? 

Also workflow question - I'm not seeing any exposure adjustments when I load my files into lightroom or ACR.  I checked the xmp files and the crs:Exposure2012="+1.23473">
  is there. 

There appears to be a timestamp difference between the xmp and the cr2. Is this an issue?

Howdy folks
Just about to do a low budget 5 day/night timelapse.  Its lwo budget so I'm trying to minimise how much time I spend on it.  As it is I'm planning on losing the day/night transitions and turning up twice a day to set the daytime exposure. Not ideal but hey ho.

I've read a little about ETTR, but not enough to know whether the post workflow is going to kill any time savings I may have.  I've had a go at bulb ramping before but it was an early build and I couldn't get my head around it.  Is it something I can get comformatable with in a few hours of testing, or should I just stick to what I know - because I slightly compromised timelapse of a one-off event is better than nothing!

I'm using a 60d
