LRTimelapse - Remove Sensor Dust Spots from Timelapses - Expert Tips #6

[@JulienRoyPhotography]

As always, thanks for the tips! :) Another solution is to paint very precisely on the dust spot with the local correction tool and then try to cancel the effect of the spot by increasing exposure or blacks or reducing contrast. Depending on the shape of the spot it can almost make it disappear, and will not generate strange artefacts on moving subjects.

Fantastic tip.. Thanks Julien!

[@Photomanguru]

Thank you for that, I cloned out a dust spot on sandy colored ground in a motion controlled time lapse, it looked like a ghost of the cloned area moving across the time lapse. I'll see if I can use this technique. To save a lot of trouble in post it is best to check your sensor for sure.

Loving these expert tips. Thank you!!

[@PeteTheBritt]

Thank you for your tuitions, you explain things clearly & make life easier. I purchased LRT a while ago & have enjoyed creating basic lapses using it. Keep up the good work, .

[@KristofferMolvig]

Fantastic - short and very at point!

[@jeremyzhu8885]

Really Helpful! Keep making these precious tips! The sound effects added to the deflicker procress sounds interesting!

I call Gunther’s videos the holy grail of KZbin 😎

[@jeremyzhu8885]

@@KenToney nice one

[@samirzarrouk]

Great Video as always. I have been able to remove dust spots easily afterword in DaVinci resolve with the Patch Replacer, Which you can track over time took. it took me 1 min to solve a problem with a persistent dust spot That I could not remove when cleaning the camera's sensor.

thanks for the tips

[@cindywu4]

Thank you for the tips! So the clarity and dehaze slider is non-linear but is linear inside the LRT range mask / linear filter?

[@jeremyzhu8885]

maybe it is still non-linear but I think you can try flicker-free for the possible flicker

[@LRTimelapseOfficial]

No, they are non linear on the gradients also, but that dosn't mean, that you can never use them. Especially for simple, well exposed sequences, they might not introduce issues. The points that I lined out in the other video ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpOZho2piqqjias ), apply the more, the more difficult in terms of exposure the images are.

[@LRTimelapseOfficial]

@@jeremyzhu8885 there is no external deflickering involved here or necessary.

[@cindywu4]

@@LRTimelapseOfficial I watched your tip #5, hence the question. It was extremely helpful; thank you!

[@cindywu4]

@@jeremyzhu8885 do you mean the external plug in? I use that as well

[@KenToney]

Gunther, if I use a grad filter with one of your presets on the first key frame it will stay throughout all key frames? I notice when I open second key frame after syncing with script it doesn’t show anything selected in the fraudster filter on next key frame like other sliders etc.

[@gwegnerde]

Sorry, hard to understand. But yes, of course the predefined gradients will be synched with the sync-script and later transitioned via the Auto Transition.

[@KenToney]

gwegner.de ok, thanks, I just don’t see them when I sync to the next key frame then open up Gradient filter, the four preset pins you put in are all white like there is nothing done to them

[@LRTimelapseOfficial]

@@KenToney What do you mean with "Pins are white?" the pins itself never change their colors, but the settings should be taken over with the sync script. Just try it. Please come to my forum for more detailed questions: forum.lrtimelapse.com/

Hallo Gunter Kanns du auch mal was zu den Langzeit Zeitraffer machen. Ich habe das Problem das ich noch nicht herausgefunden habe wie ich die Stabilisier kann. Die Kammer war Wind und Wetter aufsetzte und hat sich dabei immer mal wieder etwas verschoben oder leicht gewackelt durch den Wind. Wie kann man sowas Stabilisieren?

[@gwegnerde]

Am besten ist es natürlich, dafür zu sorgen, dass die Kamera bei der aufnahme stabil montiert ist. Wenn es dann doch mal passiert, bietet eigentlich jedes Videoschnittprogramm heuzutage eine Stabilisierungs Option. Bei Premiere / AE heißt es "Warp Stabilizer" bei Davinci Resolve gibt es die Option zu stabilisieren. Habe ich auch in meine Resolve Tutorial erklärt: gwegner.de/video/davinci-resolve-tutorial/

[@luisjg2628]

Thanks a lot¡ You could remove sensor dust spots using Premiere or After effects.👍

[@LW_Lapse]

With content aware fill? I've found that works fairly well but there seems to be no perfect solution.

[@luisjg2628]

@@LW_Lapse A Gunther tutorial explaining the techniques in Premiere and After effects in relation to this would be a good idea. It is better to explain the possible situations in a video. Explaining here in writing is not the most appropriate, in any case, I have had good results using Premiere and After Effects.

[@LW_Lapse]

@@luisjg2628 Yes, if @LRTimelapse did one that would be great ;) I use masks and content aware fill with fair results, but with my own stuff I either crop or re-shoot, not usually worth the time to fix.

[@kevinjack5184]

Dust & scratches effect works at times. Duplicate, effect top layer, mask out spot
