Processing Time Lapse shots

JoVo
Hello,

I want to use C1 to process time lapse files. Sometimes I want to gradually change exposure for example. Is there a way to do this without going to each file individually and increasing values by hand?

Thank you!

    Not really no. At least not in Capture One.

    IDEALLY you would have shot the time lapse using a bulb ramping device (such as a ProMote controller) which, when used properly, will have smoothed out the exposure transitions in camera.

    Barring that, the only approach I've heard of that doesn't involve manually adjusting exposure on each frame us via Lightroom using the LRTimelapse Plugin.

    It's not going to be quite as smooth as getting the exposure correct the first time around, but it's better than making adjustments by hand on each frame.

    You could accomplish this with applescript. The script would use the appropriate user interface tokens to enter the new value in the exposure field, push enter, and advance to the next image.

    Due to the limits of UI Scripting it would take a while to run, but you could do it overnight without any of your own time.

    This type of solution would only be worth developing for yourself if it is something you do frequently.

    We do some applescripting for capture one in our COMP class: http://www.digitaltransitions.com/event ... 10-07-2015
