I have been very confused lately in what picture profile to shoot in on my canon DSLR when doing a timelpase. For video I may do some sort of neutral, super flat, or cinestyle depending on the situation or project.

I don't have time usually to do the whole RAW work flow timelapse, and just end up shooting JPEG. Does it matter what picture profile I shoot in for a JPEG? Could I shoot cinestyle and throw a lut on there? I guess most of my confusion is because JPEG is a different compression than h.264.

What do I need to know, what should I do?

Skip to 5 minutes.

Jpeg and h.264 work very similarly, when you select your picture style, it is set in stone, they are both compressed files. RAW is an uncompressed file, when you shoot RAW all your WB, picture style, contrast, etc. are not set in stone, your camera records all the information and you can change them later in Lightroom or any other software.

If you plan on doing any post processing I highly recommend shooting in RAW.

Shooting RAW for time lapse can be pretty impractical, due to the large file size.

i feel like no matter how much you play with settings before shooting, the freedom that raw gives you is worth the memory it takes up. just gotta stack up external space. once you export as jpeg you can always delete the raws anyway

I actually do the opposite. I shoot raw, edit, export as jpeg for web use, and then once they're up I delete the jpegs. Lightroom saves the edit so if I ever need the jpeg again I can just re-export.

this is defnitely true, but i just don't have the hd space for all RAW. right now its just not possible for me. i wish i could though

thats actually a pretty good idea. i just dont always use lapse footage right away, or at all at this point. im just getting into photo/video. still its kinda obnoxious to export hundreds of photos it takes forever. video is a game of patience tho and im not that patient.

shouldnt there be a faster way of exporting hundreds of photos at once already?

I use the LRTimelapse time lapse templates (see the mid-page of http://lrtimelapse.com/download/ for download).

I shoot RAW (maybe in Med RAW or Small RAW), copy the files from the camera to an external USB 3.0 drive, adjust the flicker (if necessary) in LRTimelapse, modify the batch in Lightroom, then export as a video using the highest quality template (I may have modified it to be slightly higher bit rates for non-web videos). No JPGs necessary. I'd think this method would also be faster in the long run.

Without external hard drives, shooting RAW would be impractical for me. I rarely keep RAW files on my computer. In general, I keep at least one copy on an external, and try to have a second backup of the more precious ones on DVDs, along with the Lightroom files.

So am I getting the same dynamic range shooting in neutral for video and jpeg?
