Hi guys

I'm going to be trying this for the first time. I know my subject and how many shots per second I'm going to take. But it's more of the after processing I'm going to struggle with.

I tried doing a test shoot in the garden and used some software to deflicker the images but it said they had no meta data? How an earth do I get that info on my shots?

Also does anyone know any good free editing software and do I need to shoot in raw in order to get metadata on my images?

Kind regards

Scott
 
You should have metadata on jpeg images. Normally I'd suggest shooting raw, but timelapses are the only time that I shoot jpeg (small) so I can get as many images on the card as possible.

I can't help with the free software as I use Lightroom to create a slide show with a VERY short slide duration.
 
I have Photoshop elements 9 is this a feature I am able to incorporate something onto that?

So how do I get the metadata on my images?
 
Try looking for the metadata in Bridge that came with Elements. If it isn't there do you still have the images on the memory card? I would suggest downloading them again into Bridge to see if the metadata appears. If not do some experimenting with jpeg and raw files. What particular exif data are you looking for?

I've just had a look at Elements 8 (I don't have access to 9) and there doesn't seem to be anything for slideshows.

If you have a pc try Photolapse free software. I've only used it a couple of times and it seems fairly good.
 
Scottynooo, did you realise that the D5000 can process a lowish res video in camera? It's in the retouch menu.

If not some versions of quicktime can do it.
 
I find the Kuso EXIF viewer is a useful tool for examining the metadata.
