This is the best timelapse tutorial I have and it answers many questions. I have been shooting timelapses for over a year and I want to improve. This video tutorial helps! Thank you!!!
Was für eine gute Anleitung. Jetzt muss ich nur noch technisch mächtig aufrüsten, um das zu schaffen was ihr da so macht. Tolles Video und wie immer sehr detailliert. Ihr könnt es einfach, und ich muss noch viel, sehr viel lernen, aber für mich ist es auch nur ein Hobby. Aber mal wie immer : Hut ab!
Gorgeous film, beautifully made and very informative. I shared this with a young fella who was taking normal video captured in real time and speeding it up, then was passing it off as time laps. Your video and informative explanation should clear it up for him. Thank you very much. You also answered a lot of questions that I had. I may never be able to afford the software or equipment you use, but I have a better idea for how to improve my time lapse projects.
you are outstanding . . i am following you from a long time. . you are very good at tutorial making .. your tutorials are very clear and well explained... and also your voice is very clear to understand for any country . . i have a question what it the best way to shoot time laps.. RAW or JPEG . . Thank you
thank you for giving information .... results help you greatly helped me throughout the study in the world of photography and videography....God Bless You....
Hello. Great tutorial! Thanks! Just one question. When exporting the composition (made from RAW files) in After Effects, what are the export settings we should use for best quality? I've seen tha Mac users can export to Pro Res 422HQ, but in Windows, After Effects doesn't have that option. Whats the best alternative? Thanks.
Good tutorial, highly informative ,we can also use lightroom only for editing and produce timelapse video but we can't color grade or reduce flickering, I've tried it but the quality wasn't interesting .
Hello! I have a question. After having taken the stills and editing them (I will be using Lightroom to batch-edit), is there a method known in After Effects that will automatically fit them into a sequence of a certain length (such as a 45 second clip) within the timeline?
Hello, excuse my bad English, I love your videos and tutorials, could you tell me please which after effects plugin use to give the film look (9:52 minute) thanks
Amazing tutorial thank you. Just wondering what if you were to shoot video and turn down the sutter speed(gh4) below 50 to get some motion blur in the video itself..would be it be similar to photos with blur?
Sounds like Christoph Waltz, lol. Anyway, great video mate. I much prefer doing timelapses via picture still like you suggest, but I have a very expensive camera and cannot afford to wear out the shutter life, so I am just going to film 4K video mode and set the shutter to like 2 or something. That feels like a fairly decent compromise.
Hallo Moritz. Ich wollte dich mal fragen was du von der canon 1d c hältst, oder hast du einen anderen Favoriten in dieser Preisklasse? Danke für deine Antwort.
Great tutorial! I have been wanting to use my dslr for making timelapse video, but i'm a bit afraid it has a high impact on the shutter lifetime. I have been making timelapses using a gopro and shooting several hundred photos for just a few seconds is normal. But since entry level dslr's are rated to achieve 100k shutter actuations, i think it might be a little to costly to use it for timelapse. What do you think?
Halfbloodindian You need to shoot this in manual exposure, this is the only way to show the changing in light. If you keep the same exposure values for all of the shots, you are going to see the different times of the day much better. But if you always change the exposure to gain the "same" lighting situation, time-lapse shooting wouldn't make sense.
Halfbloodindian Day to night time lapses are way more difficult to shoot because of the light changes. Here is a great write up and tutorial by PRESTON KANAK: philipbloom.net/blog/nighttoday
Halfbloodindian Look up the word BRAMPING = BULB RAMPING and go to RADIAN TIMELAPSE site for more explanation. I had difficulty with it but learning as I go along. You need a lot of patience for creating a few second footage!
Nice tutorial, I am just a begineer in the space of time-lapse. I have shot few sunrise and sunset though. I struggle with the situation of change in light. When I try the manual mode and set a fixed aperture - the beginning looks great, but then as the light increases at the time of sunrise, after 5-10 minutes, all the photos are white washed :( second situation , if I try the aperture mode , after some shots, as the sun rises, the rest of the photos are less exposed. Need to find a solution for this. your suggestions will be of great help. thanks in advance
Use Lrtimelapse. It is an editing software specifically made for timelapses, it's really easy to use and adjusts exposure automatically (like in sunset/sunrise shots). A free alternative is TLTools, but it's less user-friendly and it is a bit more diffcult to get the same results.
Hi i would like to make some short doco type films where i combine different shots as in shots timelapse shots, drone shots from a blackmagic and some normal shots, maybe even some mixed live action/timelapse in the same shot. Is there a way to colour grade the shots so that the dslr shots match up with the blackmagic so it looks like it was all shot with the same camera?
2:30 Not ideal - There will be variations in the electronic controlled shutter which will cause flickering in your video ! Take a old adapted lens with manal aperture or the use the "twist-lens-trick" if you are aware of it´s danger to harm your equipment... :-)
After you import the photos and saved as jpeg, tiff, does further grading damage the image a little bit since it is no longer a raw file? I was thinking to do as much grading as possible in lightroom on one photo and save and apply the preset to the rest of the photos...
David C Totally right, David. Or if After Effects can handle the raw files you can do all color correction and grading at the end of the process because you can open them at any time and edit them. But you need a good computer for that.
+Zanie As you can see at 10:50 he used keyframing to achieve zoom effects in AE. You have plenty of resolution to play for just because for example a full hd video is around 2 megapixels and a picture can be 20 mpix.
Fenchel & Janisch Krass, wenn ihr alles in RAW aufnehmt, habt ihr ja ne ganze menge an Daten. Wie viel Terabyte habt ihr für Format Frankfurt gebraucht? :D
DavexMa Ich persönlich verwende für Timelapse-Aufnahmen Photoshop Lightroom. Mit Lightroom kannst du deine Farbkorrekturen wie in im Video gezeigten Camera RAW an einem Bild vornehmen und diese mit allen Bildern synchronisieren :)
I think theres something wrong when yo say that stabilization has to be made in the original footage. If you do that, you are zooming a frame more than its original size and loosing quality but if you do in a sequence thats smaller than your original file you have a lot of room for the stabilizer to play with. Maybe I dont understand your description. Thanks for the tut
Martín Segredo Sorry for the confusion. It's best to apply the Warp Stabilizer to the original high res files (5K or 6K) but in the 4K or UHD composition/timeline. To clarify: It's better not to apply the stabilizer to a 4K file when working in a 4K timeline because of the loss of image quality. I hope that makes sense :-) -Moritz
150Gb of files vs 2.5GB of Photos... Also the Video will be like 8MP eacdh for 4k but photos will be up to 40+MP. Also you cant literally think of recording a video over a year where Timelapse can take as much as days, months and year
The higher the aperture number the more closed it is; the lower the number the more open the aperture is. You can control aperture in manual mode, or set the priority to aperture. The easiest is to search for a video tutorial on your specific camera on how to control aperture. Hope this helps a little.
This all is great, but I'd use a camera with an electronic shutter to make a timelapse. A timelapse with running length of a few minutes would require several thousand shutter actuations. Using a DSLR this way is a rather expensive scenario.
***** It's pretty common to use DSLRs for time lapse photography. We haven't had any troubles with our Canon 7D and we have been shooting a lot with it in the past 5 years.
Fenchel & Janisch Glad to hear this. I agree there is no point to tremble over your gear - you should take the most out of it and enjoy the results. And thank you for the great tutorial! :)
This is the best timelapse tutorial I have and it answers many questions. I have been shooting timelapses for over a year and I want to improve. This video tutorial helps! Thank you!!!
The footage is really great. But the graded sunset...was absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for making all these amazing tutorials!
You guys set the standard for quality TH-cam videos.

You used a tilt shift-tilt-lens. Where did u set up your camera? Get to building above all those buildings or a drone?
this is very nice. thanks for the share!

Hi, at 3:35 what is the name of the product that you used under the DSLR to make panning time-lapse?
Sounds like Christoph Waltz, lol. Anyway, great video mate.

Great job.. thanks... could you say us what song you put in the end?
How do you keep the right amount of light in the pictures when filming daylight, then sunset, then night in the same timelapse shot?

If you keep the same exposure values for all of the shots, you are going to see the different times of the day much better.

Halfbloodindian For Canon, there is a "Firmware" called Magic Lantern. I believe they do have automatic adjustment of exposure.
Thomas d'Auteuil use 'LRTimelapse' it's free 4 use with all features. But only for 400 pictures in one project. Then, just do multiple projects ;)
Welchen Slider hast du benutzt?
Super Video;)
bernd müller Konova K5. Hier gibt's mehr Infos zum Zeitraffer-Equipment: fenchel-janisch.com/motorized-timelapse-gear-slider-pan-tilt-head
vielen dank :)
love your work! can you send me like links about the different gear and stuff you use so I can buy the same stuff.
gear doesn't matter
Really now? Seems legit....
Amen
wie macht man diesen Miniatur effekt? Ist eine option in der kamera oder?
Nice tutorial, I am just a begineer in the space of time-lapse. I have shot few sunrise and sunset though. I struggle with the situation of change in light.

What camera and picture profile did you use at 8:06? It was so flat!
***** The image was captured as a raw CR2 file with a Canon 7D.
good tutorial

Is there a way to colour grade the shots so that the dslr shots match up with the blackmagic so it looks like it was all shot with the same camera?
which camera du you filming with, in the video
I want to know what is the toner widget at the 9:52?
Thanks!
Do you have any after effects or premiere pro in depth tutorials?
what's the other software editing program you use in addition to adobe?
Nice Tutorial
Hallo,
ein wahnsinnig tolles Video.
Da bin ich ja noch meilenweit entfernt - Wolfgang B.
grüße Wolfgang
do you know where can I get the deflicker plugin? is it free :)?
Well explained
Big thanks from South Korea. I will try timelapse of Seoul tomorrow. Thanks.

Fenchel & Janisch hehe i built a custom computer for video editing and gaming :). Love your channel. Ive learned so much from it..
what is the name of the software he's using...
I have a 700d and really want to start doing timelapse photography, where can I find an affordable intervalometer? Thanks!
Billy Lockway Look at Ebay, in China you can get them very cheap...
UPDATE: It's possible with Magic Lantern incase any of you were wondering. :)
That was exactly was I was going to say!.. I have ML installed on my 700d but haven't tried timelapses yet.. Let me know how they come out..
trotamundos Ricardo Cheers! Might record some in a couple of days. :)
what is the name of the music at the beginning of this video?
Canon Eos 70 oder 7D ?
how do you achieve that slow zoom effect at 2:56?
+Zanie As you can see at 10:50 he used keyframing to achieve zoom effects in AE. You have plenty of resolution to play for just because for example a full hd video is around 2 megapixels and a picture can be 20 mpix.
For how many seconds are your time lapses? If a single camera battery lasts for 500 photos, would that equate to 20 seconds at 25 fps?
what kind of mode you use at 1:53 min ?
In nikon it called miniature mode isn't?
what camera where youusing in those time lapses
Is that a cheap velbon tripod head?
+Елизавета Постол it depend on your country.
Cyranova i dont think that finding names in internet is a problem.
Hi, does anyone know what is the color correct effect he used in the tutorial?
Fenchel & Janisch Krass, wenn ihr alles in RAW aufnehmt, habt ihr ja ne ganze menge an Daten. Wie viel Terabyte habt ihr für Format Frankfurt gebraucht? :D
which software are you using ?
I see him using Photoshop, After Effects and Nikon's own software for RAW files
Very nice :D
muss man jedes einzelnde bild Editieren oder gibts da ein anderen weg
DavexMa Ich persönlich verwende für Timelapse-Aufnahmen Photoshop Lightroom. Mit Lightroom kannst du deine Farbkorrekturen wie in im Video gezeigten Camera RAW an einem Bild vornehmen und diese mit allen Bildern synchronisieren :)
DavexMa Mit LRTimelapse kannst du auch Übergänge zwischen Belichtungen (z.B. bei Sonnenuntergängen) ausgleichen
DavexMa Die Fotos müssen nicht einzeln bearbeitet werden. Man kann quasi die gesamte Sequenz, z.B. 300 Fotos auswählen und bearbeiten.
Another way to avoid flickering is to demount your lens a tiny bit while holding the depth of view button...
thanks
GENIAL!!!!
Whats the name of this song??
Except 4K resolution you picked in AE wasn't 16:9 though.4K = 4096x2304.
I think theres something wrong when yo say that stabilization has to be made in the original footage. If you do that, you are zooming a frame more than its original size and loosing quality but if you do in a sequence thats smaller than your original file you have a lot of room for the stabilizer to play with.

-Moritz
Why is everything so small in the time lapse video ??
Is a special lens making that effect ??? Anyone got more info ??
Thanks :)
+Eddie Ed Tilt shift lens! They are used for what they call "miniature photography".
Hallo Jungs, super Video...Ich hab mir vor kurzem eine Canon 1100d gekauft und es wurde mich freuen wenn Sie mir ein par tipps geben können. Danke ;)
Have 4 words to say:
"NICE"
*NICE*
*"NICE"*
👍
EXPLANATION.
Can anybody tell me what is the advantage of making a time lapse over shooting a video and playing at higher speed?
The time between the frames.
150Gb of files vs 2.5GB of Photos...
Also the Video will be like 8MP eacdh for 4k but photos will be up to 40+MP.
Also you cant literally think of recording a video over a year where Timelapse can take as much as days, months and year
how to close the aperture?
The higher the aperture number the more closed it is; the lower the number the more open the aperture is. You can control aperture in manual mode, or set the priority to aperture. The easiest is to search for a video tutorial on your specific camera on how to control aperture. Hope this helps a little.
