The Merger:
The Merger is a FREEWARE program for timelapse shooters as well as anyone using Magic Lantern for HDR Video with Canon SLRs.
For HDR Timelapse:
The batch merging functionality of the Merger is designed specifically for the needs of HDR timelapse shooters. Most HDR programs out there today are designed for stills, so they make lots of adjustments to optimize the image. However, these optimizations cause flicker since adjacent frames might be processed slightly differently. If you are having trouble dealing with flicker in your HDR timelapse shots then you should try the Merger. And it's free so why not?
For HDR Video with Magic Lantern:
The Merger is also used for processing video shot with Magic Lantern's HDR mode. For the uninitiated, Magic Lantern is a great custom firmware for Canon SLRs, including the 5D Mark II. They recently added an HDR mode where every other frame is shot at a higher or lower ISO. The Merger provides a fully automated algorithm for splitting the movie into a high and low track, aligning them using optical flow, and merging the results into an HDR video. Or you can merge the tracks manually if you have a thing for masking and keying. Either way, it's a free option for you.
