Time-lapse Tutorial Part 2 - Combating DSLR Time-lapse Flicker

[littlecubed]

Hey! This tutorial was very helpful, but I have a question on something else. When putting all the videos together into a video, I use quicktime pro with "open image sequence" but everytime it turns out very slow or laggy. I'm not even able to view the whole time-lapse video and it just jumps from clip to clip. I'm wondering if you could help out with this? Once again, thanks for the awesome tutorials.

@kookiemoose Thanks! glad it helped. Time-lapse flicker can be a little tricky so let me know if you have any questions implementing the tips.

Hi thanks for the videos; s a new photographer (awaiting a canon 600d birthday present!), they are really informative however, I find it difficult to pick out your voice with the music playing and have to really concentrate to hear what you're saying. Keep up the great vids but could you maybe put the music more in the background, fade out for crucial vocals or have none after intro?

@twinsane1998 Thanks for the comment. I'll do better balancing the audio in future tutorials.

Thanks for the video! Found it extremely helpful. Have you heard of Magic Lantern firmware for canon dslr's? I have it on my 550D and it has a built in time lapse bulb ramping feature. Works really well when the light changes gradually. There's a video called Aberystwyth Harbour Sunset time lapse on my channel. That was filmed using the bulb ramping feature. Check it out if you like. Again, thank you for the tutorials!

@failedrenegade Thanks for the comment. I've heard a little about it and have reached the point with bulb ramping tests (using the little bramper) to certainly warrant a deeper dive for other Canon users. Looks like bad news on the development for the 7d though. Any trouble with the installation?

@LearnTimeLapse Yeah there isn't a copy for the 7D as of yet. It definitely won't be as good as the little bramper, however, it's free. Installation was really easy. Unzip the files to your SD card. Boot camera then click on the firmware update button in the canon menu. Installs in about 10 seconds. Same button to uninstall as well. The main features that I use on it are the extended AEB (up to 9 brackets), audio meters, time lapse timers and the trap focus
