The movie itself is done by the camera itself. Time Lapse is one of the features of the camera. Most time lapse guys shot in RAW and then convert later on. I may end up doing that but wanted to get a start in the area and then find out how much better is the RAW approach or is it only slightly better.
I then used Photoshop CS6 to process it and I processed the image it displayed and it applied that to all the images without asking which is pretty handy. I then exported it as a video file.

Thanks Humi. It seemed to work out fine. A bit of mottling shifting around on a bigger screen at the back. Perhaps that's from the processing. I don't recall seeing that in the original.

Yes good point. My home area is fairly dark. My dark site is darker but its only about 20% darker.
Greg.
