GBDeflicker Best Settings

After users have processed thousands of clips using GBDeflicker, I have a better idea what the default settings should be.

Deflicker method = Smoothing
Nonlinear (or gamma) correction = Off
Favor brighter = Off


These work best for most clips. They will be the new default values in the next release. Please give them a try.

Laboratory Long-term Timelapse Setup

Watch this short video to see how GBTimelapse can be setup for a long term laboratory project...



This project does an FTP upload of every capture image. Here's the newest image from the lab (may be some other subject in the future)

Pumpkin Rotting - Laboratory Timelapse

Here's another example of using GBTimelapse to monitor a laboratory experiment. A Canon 20D tethered to a Windows XP computer ran continuously for six weeks capturing images of this pumpkin.

The setup ran despite a couple of power failures during that time. The computer was set to auto start when power came on, and GBTimelapse was put in the comptuer's startup folder so it would run automatically. Finally, GBTimelapse was set to auto run it's most recent project.



This may be a "concocted" experiment, but it shows what is possible.
