3. The edit feature includes: color temperature, tint, vibrance, saturation, exposure, contrast, highlight, and shadow adjustments.

4. Partial Noise Reduction or Blending: Choose the area where you want to apply noise reduction or blending with masking features.

5. Outputs sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI P3 for images, Rec.709, P3, Rec.2020 for videos.

6. Edit key frames and TLDF interpolates intermediate frames for smooth transition.

Top Pcmac Reviews

Outstanding Value - More power than the name suggests

By CharcoalWolf (Pcmac user)

This software does deflicker very well, but it also if you choose, it will do average blending to get rid of jittery/fast-moving objects in the field (like cars), lightening-averaging to make star trails, and it does key frame color adjustment. It is by far the best software for this purpose.
Exactly what I needed

By Patorjk (Pcmac user)

This app does just what it says. I’d recommend trying the free version first, and if you like it pick up this version. I’ve searched for apps to remove timelapse flicker, and they all seem to either be for Windows or are expensive/complicated and geared towards professionals. Until I stumbled upon this, there didn’t seem to be anything for a hobbest who just wanted a flicker-free timelapse. Yesterday morning I decided to create a timelapse and then as I was reviewing the results I remembered why I originally stopped making them - the stupid flickering. Really happy I found this!
It is meh

By rdouma (Pcmac user)

I tried 2 clips. One was better than the other. One was against the sun and the orginal has more dynamic range than the output. It's unusable on longer timelapses. It's chugged away for ~6 hours (!) on a 4K timelapse of 30 seconds. CPU at 100%, apparently not utilising multiple cores. Other gripes: - UI feels unpolished. Silly things like it doesn't remember settings (like last used directories, desired output type) - The output file of a 356Mb input is magically transformed into 6.7Gb whilst introducing less dynamic range. So less quality for ~20 times the file size. - Did I mention it is slow? Anyway, results vary. For me, definitely not worth US$ 20.
This app did not improve my time lapses

By Slamwell (Pcmac user)

I worked very hard trying to get this app to improve minor flicker in two different image sequences. It either left the sequence about the same or made it worse (more flickery). I tried this app on large file-size image sequences, reduced file-size image sequences, on video files produced from both this app and non-this app image sequences (yes, I tried running it twice), and it never really improved the flicker. To make things worse, on a dark sequence it added-in very large blobs of noise. I wasted hours of time trying this out. And there is no help or manual to speak of.
