Quick Tip: How to compile an HDR Timelapse
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 гру 2024
- In this Quick Tip Matthijs talks us through the ins and outs of compiling an HDR time-lapse using Davinci Resolve. Whilst we set out to do a tutorial using Lightroom we realised that this was not a very straightforward process given there is no batch process functionality for processing multiple images. For a tutorial about how to shoot an HDR timelapse click through here and be sure to comment below for any questions.

Haha that windows trick to select every third photo is bloody brilliant! :D
My jaw dropped with how clever that was.
funny, I always assumed that, for as little that know about editing, people knew about doing something like that. Another thing you can do is immediately after uploading your time-lapse pics, whenever I wanna see what my pics will look like as when played out is, using the same idea, i shrink the window to give me one row, i increase the icon size (Ctrl+scroll) as big as ty will allow me while still keeping the pics under one row and with my down arrow key, i hold down, and it will scroll down at just the right speed so that the pics can be seen as a time-lapse, i do this jus as a super quick way to see what i was able to capture
Great video. I ended up here trying to answer a different question: how can we compile a timelapse into an HDR VIDEO format, e.g. HLG, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, etc?
This is perfect!!!
Thank you so muuch
I was thinking of how would I combine the bracketing. But this makes so much more sense!
the final output video is not in HDR video format. It would be perfect if output as hdr10 or dolby vision video.
That is amazing, I hope to be able to try that someday. Thanks for inspiring others to try it.
Im trying to do this but when importing the DNG sequence into resolve it shows up as "media offline" and I cant figure out why
A couple things, either the DNG file format is to new or corrupt so davinchi resolve isn't recognizing it. Make sure you are using the latest versions of DNG converter and resolve. Secondly make sure that your image sequence naming in terms of the suffix is counting up in chronological order i.e. IMAGENAME_001.dng, IMAGENAME_002.dng, IMAGENAME_003.dng. Let us know if you keep having issues and we will do our best to help you out :)
very interesting and helpful. Thanks for sharing
The video was very helpful. I don't understand the purpose of the luminance mask. Wouldn't you get all the dynamic range simply by making the compound clip?
There are two time lapses located on the time line, which are stacked or layered on top of each other. In the correctly exposed time lapse on the bottom layer the clouds are clearly blown out, however they are not blown out in the darker time lapse on the time line above. Using the exposure controls I increase the exposure of the top time lapse to match the exposure of the lower time lapse. In doing so I have increased the noise in the shadows of top time lapse. Using a luminance mask I only allow the highlights of the upper image to show through, cutting off the noisy shadows to display the clean shadows in the image below. Had I just converted it into a compound clip without using the luminance mask, only the time lapse on the top layer would be shown, leaving the noisy shadows.
You increase the exposure of the top time lapse without blowing out the clouds I suppose ?
Really pretty stuff Brother
Thanks for sharing, the final video is well exposed, however it still exhibits some flickering, is there a way to export the final sequence as a set of DNGs which can then be processed with, for example, LRTimelapse?
Currently there is no way to export DNG files out of resolve. This means de-flickering using DNG files from Davinchi in LRTimelapse won't work; although using the visual de-flicker on a TIF sequence may be an option. The footage you are seeing here has been de-flickered using a custom script/tool in Nuke. Rather than analysing the luminance of a single region like in LR Timelapse, it uses local adaption, enabling separate exposure analysis of every element in the scene. If you look at the time-lapse you will notice the background does not flicker however the foreground does. The flicker in the foreground has been reduced significantly from the original and could be reduced more however, this would not look natural and would cause some artefacts.
You can export tiff sequence from resolve and then convert it to dngs in lightroom, then u can use lrtimelapse normally.
Awesome tutorial Matthijs! I'm new to editing time-lapse videos. Does Davinci offer a comparable toolset to a program like "LR Timelapse" for editing time-lapse videos? How well does Davinci work with Deflickering timelapse videos? I'm wondering if Davinci will offer me all the tools I need to create professional timelapse videos?
Hey Shane, DaVinci is awesome and lets you grade as well as create key frames for your grade. The one disadvantage is that it doesn't have good de-flickering.
Hi Matthijs. Thanks so much for your reply. Is the fact the Davinci doesn't offer good deflickering a deal-breaker in your opinion? I'm curious how you integrate it into your workflow? Do you also use LR Timelapse? I would just rather not have to learn and use both programs if possible. Do you offer any 1:1 timelapse mentoring? Thanks so much for your help!
How did you select only one column of photos at one time? I did not know that was possible! I do a fair amount of hdr and always held CTL and manually selected the images in the desired column of 3 or 5 rows - a pain!,
just drag with the mouse,
You use bracketing ?
why dose my DNG files not get recognised It says media is offline
Photomatix is a less painful workflow option
Thank you!
Correction : you mention that white balance should be set in Camera Raw, but that's the beauty of working with DNG in Resolve, everything's raw data. Otherwise, nice video, thanks!
I am seeing a closed captioning in some Asian language. Is there a link to this with English or without captioning?
Never mind, I found how to change it in the settings.
you make very good things that are necessary. It is a pity that they are not everyone can afford. Make a budget option)))
Don't get it why all this mess with bracketing, when a decent dynamic range raw from camera gets you all the data.
You are correct in that a camera with a decent dynamic range will get you all the data you need for most situations. However, a professional camera such as the 5D III does not have an unlimited dynamic range, only 13.6 stops. Compare this to the human eye which has 20-30 stops. Some situations well exceed this dynamic range. For example, in an interior scene looking out a window with your subject in the shadows you run into the issue of either clipping the sky or introducing noise on your subject when boosting your exposure in post. Although your camera may be able to capture this in one photograph, Shooting HDR allows you to capture an image with a limitless dynamic range and no noise in the shadows, creating a better image. This is ignoring scenes where your camera just can't recover the shadows at all. Always keep in mind the dynamic range of your camera and the scene you are capturing, HDR is just a tool to solve a problem, so only use it when there is a problem.
@@SyrpLab I take it HDR is not suitable for astrophotography (due to the long exposures and therefore it would be too jerky if only every third photo was used?) I guess it isn't really that necessary for astro as it is for the day, my question is more just out of curiousity (as I'm am amateur)
Your video is not HDR, so your title is simply a clickbait.
After switching to colors, you stopped explaining how to do it, so the guide is useless.
So we took 3 exposures of each frame, sorted them, converted them to dng just so we can delete 1/3 of them...🤔 right. I just took couple of thousands pictures that will go straight to the bin. Not the tutorial i was hoping for.
seriously, you need to get a life.
