Hello all
Having some major issues with this. I'm new to doing timelapses in general but I've followed everything by the book and still can't get a flicker free timelapse.
Here's the timelapse I shot today. I'm using a 5d Mark III with the Oct. 13th build.
Camera settings:
M mode
24mm
ISO 100
f/16
1/25 sec - 1/8 sec
Auto ETTR: Always ON
Trigger mode: Always ON
Slowest shutter: 11"
Exposure target: -0.5 EV
Highlight ignore: 0.2%
Midtone SNR Limit: 6 EV
Shadow SNR Limit: 3 EV
Post Deflicker: XMP
Deflicker percentile: 50%
Deflicker target level: -4 EV
Intervalomater:
Interval: 2 sec
Start after: 3 sec
Stop after: 910 shots
Manual FocusRamp: OFF
I copied all the .cr2 and .xmp files to the hard drive in a new folder. I used Bulk Rename to rename the XMP's to match the .cr2 files. I imported the catalog into lightroom and made sure to sync the folder - I see all the signs that it's working. The XMP's are being read, I see the little -/+ signs at the corner, and when I'm develop mode I can see the exposure changes for each frame.
I brought them into AE and didn't touch anything in ACR. I simply imported them, made a new comp, and exported to test the flicker and there seems to be a lot. Did I miss a step or do something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm working on Windows 7 btw. Thanks in advance
