[No there is no need for LiveView. Just activate the image review (I use 4s) on the canon menu and activate global draw.]

@pholler

Did you use LiveView or MLU?
No there is no need for LiveView. Just activate the image review (I use 4s) on the canon menu and activate global draw.

What are your AETTR-Settings?
Most of the time default settings. I can't remember which scene but on one or two scenes I used Midtone SNR limit 7 and Shadow SNR limit 3EV. I had the feeling that they were too much underexposed.

My personal Checklist before I shoot a AETTR Scene

• Shoot only in RAW (not Raw and JPEG)
• Global Draw Activated with ETTR Hint
• Activate Post Deflicker (I use Adobe XMP)
• Interval not shorter then 5s
• Image Review 4s
• Set the correct max Exposer in the AETTR Menu
• Set AETTR Always ON
• Set Max ISO you want to use in the Canon Menu

Hope it helps you to get flicker free scenes

[Most of the time I just set the Keyframes for the changing WB Situation and with the tool option I made individual transitions. 2 times I overwritten by error the xmp files created by the ML Deflicker. In this case I complete recreated the deflicker in LRTimelapse. One with the Holy Grail workflow and one with the deflicker workflow. I had to test which one worked better.]

Thanks Glubber

- how did you combine ML-deflicker with LRTimelpase?
Most of the time I just set the Keyframes for the changing WB Situation and with the tool option I made individual transitions. 2 times I overwritten by error the xmp files created by the ML Deflicker. In this case I complete recreated the deflicker in LRTimelapse. One with the Holy Grail workflow and one with the deflicker workflow.  I had to test which one worked better.

- why did you use AutoETTR rather than the EV-step method G.Wegener of LRT is proposing for the Holy Grails?
I tested AutoETTR and I worked perfectly for me so I never tryed the EV-Step method. So I can't say which one is better

Thanks a lot Magic Lantern Team, with your work you made my process a lot easier. An important part of any Day-Night-Day (Holy Grail) recordings was the Auto ETTR function and I used it a lot! as well the Intervalometer and the Post-Deflicker.

Through fog, rain, snow and even wind gusts of up to 120 km/h I am happy to have completed this project. Mountain of Valais is by far my most time consuming venture, which at points pushed me to my utter most limits. With 40kg of kit on my back it was not always easy to arrive to my chosen locations. After 15 days of filming in between August and November this year, and as a further four weeks of postproduction the project is finally finished.

This is my newest Northern light video from Norway (8 to 19. February 2013). This time around we were near Alta in Finnmark. There we had a cabin in Kviby from which we started our day trips. In those days we had a lot of aurora activity. It is always fascinating to see these dancing lights, even better if you can share it with someone you love.

The temperature wasn't as cold then last year. Normally it was around -10°C (14F). Only for one shot it was -25°C (-13F) and again I had a frozen lens... like every year...

Some shots were made with my Canon 7D and Magic Lantern on it.

He created it especially for this video.

To avoid the old problem with flicker during sunset and sunrise. I tried for my newest video in this scenes the bulb ramping features on my 550D and it worked really well.
