The LRTimelapse Expert Tips is a series of new tutorials for advanced LRTimelapse users which cover special techniques to improve your editing skills even further. These cover reediting your sequences, the proper animation of gradients and many more.
Please forgive me, that these tutorials are only available in English.
Episode #01: Reediting timelapse sequences
This is a tutorial about how to reedit a previously edited timelapse sequence in LRTimelapse and Lightroom. Basically there are two ways:
1.) Reedit from scratch and 2.) Reedit building up on your previous edits.
In this tutorial I’ll explain both alternatives.
Episode #02: Animating Linear and Circular Gradients
In this Expert Tip I explain how to correctly keyframe and animate linear and circular gradients with LRTimelapse and Lightroom Classic.
Episode #03: Working with Individual (Manual) Transitions
In this episode you’ll learn how to use individual or manual transitions (as opposed to the auto transition) to achieve transitions that are independent of the keyframes. In this video I’ll show you, why this often can be very useful.
Episode #04: Visual Workflow with JPG Sequences
JPG Sequences are usually not the best option for creating timelapse. In this episode I’ll show you how to use the visual workflow with visual previews und visual deflicker also for JPG sequences, although this is not officially supported in LRTimelapse.
Episode #05: Stop Lightroom from messing up your Timelapses!
Some popular tools in Lightrooms Basic Panel act in a non-linear, context sensitive way and can introduce severe contrast flicker, color shifts and other artifacts to timelapses which are impossible to remove by deflickering.
The probability for this to happen is the higher the less smooth your original sequence is.
In this video we’ll analyse why this happens, which Lightroom tools are fine to use, which should be used with care and which should be avoided at all with such sequences.
Episode #06: Remove Sensor Dust Spots from Timelapses
Dust on your sensor can ruin your timelapse, especially if you shoot stopped down. Using the clone stamp in Lightroom can make things worse. In this video you will learn better approaches to deal with dust spots when working with LRTimelapse and Lightroom.
For a more advanced way to stamp moving objects like people, planes, etc. also watch the video #10.
Episode #07: Advanced Keyframes Synchronization
In this episode I explain why you should generally use the Sync Script, and what to take care of when using the native syncronize/copy-paste in Lightroom to synchronize individual tools.
Episode #08: Remove Lens Condensation from a Timelapse
In episode #8 I’ll show you how to remove lens condensation from a time lapse with some clever editing in LRTimelapse.
Episode #09: Animate the Crop (Ken Burns)
In this episode you’ll learn how to create a Ken Burns effect (Crop Animation) independently from the keyframing of your regular edits.
Episode #10: Stamp and Stabilize with After Effects (Incl. Color Management)
In Episode #10 you’ll learn how to do an advanced workflow that includes After Effects but still uses LRTimelapse’s powerful render engine and preserves the color management. After Effects can for example be useful for stamping and stabilizing your sequence.
For a simple stamping technique in Lightroom, check the video #6.
