I recently shot this time-lapse sequence at a road junction here in Kawasaki, Japan. Taking it to the editing computer I decided top show folks how I edit my Holy Grail time-lapse sequences, Holy Grail being the title attributed to those sequences that transition between day and night hours. This technique requires camera settings of shutter and ISO to be 'ramped down' for the shutter speed and 'ramped up' with regards to the ISO sensitivity throughout the shooting phase to accommodate the falling ambient light levels. This is something I do manually and coordinate making those changes with the interval time distance between individual frames.
For the rest, the computer side of things everything is covered in this video, please feel free to fire off any questions as you see fit if something is not too clear.
As mentioned at the end of the video there is still some appearance of the coloration from the Halogen lights in the final sequence render but this is down to the fact that the vehicles passing under this crosswalk are lighting the reflective roof with their lights which are of a cooler temperature than that of the edited change that I made to the original keyframe.
