    In this short photography tutorial, we show you how you can improve your timelapses by taking long shutter exposures and exporting them in Adobe Premiere. By using a Polar Pro 10 stop neutral density filter, Patrick Hall increases his shutter from 1/3rd of a second to 2 full seconds when shooting in bright sunlight.

    Although I was just mildly curious, and don't have the gear, I was captivated by the truly professional presentation by Patrick Hall.. Even though I don't have the exact camera or software, I was able to follow along and understand the concept as he showed and explained it in a thoroughly professional manner. He spoke clear English with ease and clear command of the subject. I really enjoyed this video. I learned things. Five stars.

    Don't bother dragging+dropping a large array of files. Just do a File > Import, and select the first frame of the sequence. Make sure the 'Image Sequence' box is checked at the bottom, and you are good to go --It's a single asset.

    To save yourself a little trouble, you can import the entire set of timelapse images into Premiere as one single clip by going to: File > Import. Choose the first image in the sequence. Make sure the "Image Sequence" box is checked and then click Open. Now you won't have to copy and paste attributes to each frame and then nest them as they're already one clip. You can also go into Preferences > Media beforehand and set the Indeterminate Media Timebase to 23.976fps or whatever you like so it will automatically set the clip to that framerate on import. *Note that for this to work, all of the image files must be named sequentially.
    Great tutorial guys! Thanks!!

    • @FStoppers
      @FStoppers  5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If you shoot high res images that are more than 1080 or 4k, you will have to resize the footage anyways. Also, since your photos will probably be 2:3 or 4:5 aspect ratio, and video is 16:9, you are going to have to tweak the final timelapse to fit into your sequence anyways. The import option is def a way to do it but I've just always copied and pasted the jpegs so that I can easily fix any errors and see each individual frame easier.

    • @carlraetzsch
      @carlraetzsch 5 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Right, you will have to resize, but you can do it to the whole clip at once instead of copying and pasting the attribute to many and then nesting. Also, this way, if you decide to tweak the size again, you haven't lost the edges due to nesting.

    • @samkruijver
      @samkruijver 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I agree. Using the import as sequence is much easier. I think you are better off editing images in Lightroom/LRTimelapse first to fix any flicker.

    You can use LR Timelapse for post production. This helps to fix the flickering and uses raw files. All in all in helps you to create better timelapses.

    • @FStoppers
      @FStoppers  5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yes definitely but it does require a lot more steps and requires you shoot in raw. Sometimes when we travel for weeks at a time and shoot dozens of timelapses, we don't have the server space to store 10,000+ raw files for timelapses. If you can remove the flicker at the time of capture, you shouldn't need to shoot raw for most of your timelapses but LR Timelapse is great for when you do need smoothing.

    If you shoot raw, bring your sequence into an album in Lightroom, apply your edits, and then export the sequence and render the video in premiere or ae. I like working with the full frame edits first and then downscaling. Haven’t done it in a while and need to revisit the workflow. LR timelapse is also a gnarly Lr plug-in you can use to apply key framing to high res time lapses across a series of images in Lr. These produce very nice applications for light changes over time (think applying an exposure gradient to a sunrise scene)

Voila! All your jpegs are imported as a sequence. Thanks for this video, I have learned a few things that were new to me!

  • @karacop78
    @karacop78 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I've learned so much from fstoppers, I feel I have to give something back: LRTimelapse->Lightroom->After Effects. That is the optimal path. Not the fastest though, that's why you use jpegs, I suppose. And the f22 thing...I'd advice to avoid such extremes because of sensor dust and diffraction. Diffraction can be ignored because the final product is video, but sensor dust sometimes cannot be masked out in post. Another advantage using After Effects or any similar editor is that you can mask the jarring sea waves that annoy us and add extra motion blur to soften them without messing with the sky. That's my experience after 4 years and around 500 timelapses for various short and long film productions.

    I shoot timelapse astrophotography and I use Qdslr and LRTimelapse, Yeah the pro license for LRT is around $300 bucks but I do post through Lightroom and LRT, you have WAY more control over your images. The graphic interface in LRT is really easy and brilliant. I've processed 6000+ RAW files for double Holy Grails this way. Yes you need a really fast machine and lots of storage to play in this league but the results are uncompromising and smooth.

    I don't know about Nikon, but with Canon you can choose your aperture then press and hold the DOF button and twist the lens from the contacts to lock in the aperture. This is the method I use for all my time lapses & AF system lenses to cut down on the aperture flicker..
