I just to to say that I originally somehow got to your channel looking for blog tutorials. But dang!! You have so much good content, I'm super happy to have found you, love the channel, the tutorials, and learning! Thank you very much! Keep it up! P.S. Can't wait to try some of these techniques and show other people!
+Real Ramirez - Not sure how I missed your comment! Thanks for sharing. Great to hear that you like our stuff. We have a whole new series coming out this month. Stay tuned for more!
Thanks for the tutorial guys! I've been watching your channel for several years now, and decided that it was time to try to push myself more with timelapse projects. So thanks for being a positive inspiration. Alex
Thank you for that comment Alex! That's really nice to hear. Since we're not teaching in classrooms, sometimes we don't realize that there are a lot of people that watch this short videos. I wish you luck in your journey!
Hey Rob and Jonas! Your chanel rocks! As a biochemist and a novice filmmaker (I have produced some videos for my teaching), I find your work impressive and very inspirational! Maybe It's time to start filming again! Keep on the good work!
Thank you. I've watched a ton of tutorial videos today, and none of them explained the post process very well. I am going to be doing night sky time lapse at Hale'akala Crater (Maui) in a few days, and have also solved some mysteries about night sky time lapse using your Grand Canyon night sky time lapse video. I'll definitely be going to you guys now for clear, concise directions. THANK YOU!!!
As to software/application. I highly recommend the Adobe Cc suite too. (I use all of it nearly every day) But for those that don't want to spend money the gopro studio is free and apparently good for time lapse etc. or of course iMovie is surprisingly good for a free bit of Mac software.
Hey Rob. Loving your videos mate. I'm very new to the hobby, and tried my first time lapse not long ago. I had it set to auto (yep very new to the game haha) and it flickered a fair bit. Anyway watching a few of your videos has helped me understand more and hopefully move onto a better time lapse next time. Just need to learn how to edit my stuff now. Thanks heaps mate 👍
Awesome videos, I've been able to learn so much, really easy to follow along. A question about software as I want to have a similar set-up however is their a way to purchase after effects outright? Final Cut pro, Lightroom and the time-lapse plug in can all be purchased outright but I only see after effects available through the adobe creative cloud.
hi, congrats for the explain. 2 curiosity question. 1- how many second did you use like interval time between each photo? 2?3 sec? 2- how was the setting camera about aperture, iso, and shutter? f8,160,50th? I try to guess it :))). ciaoo
Hey! Just watched this video! I am a super beginner lol! I have experimented with time lapse on my iPhone quite a bit, sunsets and clouds. I have realized this is something I really enjoy doing, watching and sharing, but I want to get more serious. Could you share some of the best beginner set ups. What kind of camera should I get and can grow with and what kind of tripod and timer should I get?
Hey awesome video! Do you ever use frame blending in your timelapses? If so, do you do it right in FCPX or use another program to get the image blurring effect? Thanks! Subscribed for sure!!!!!
Great video. Love the tips on workflow that are really helping me out as a newbie in the Adobe cc and timelapse photography world. Its the final hurdle that's tripping me up though: What is a good codec for PC users to substitute where you use Apple Prores? My videos have high quality in a lossless export, but obviously this kind of file cannot be played back in any media player. But no matter which lossy codec I try, my timelapse videos are completely ruined by blocky artifacts. I can't figure out if there's some basic setting I'm just oblivious to, or if there really is no alternative to buying a mac.
I tried various codecs recommended on different forums etc. but didn't have much luck. Through my own trial and error I found that the H.264 codec for Quicktime works the best for my purposes, which incidentally I see is the same codec you used in FCPX in your most recent tutorial on deflickering! :)
+Michael Coombes That's good to know! I use H264 a LOT. I can hardly see any difference from ProRes and the file size is much smaller. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing video. One question in your timelapse the hut is moving (in this case the camera). When you are taking the pictures you are moving the camera to the side to create the idea that it is moving?
HI there ! I wanted to know how did you create a movement on your timelapse ? In this case, you timelapse seems to move left to right.. ? Do you have to move your tripod manually or do you have a special tripod that moves automatically?
I’ve now watched several of your Timelapse videos and I’ve not yet seen where you explained the time duration between shots. Are you taking a photo every 5, 10, 30, 60, sec … etc … ?
Hey man, great video! I do have a question. I noticed in after effects you got to keep the original size of your frame in comparison to 1920X108 and you had to size it down to meet the frame of the video out put. Minute 7:46. Do you also get to keep the original amount of pixels when doing this through final cut? I noticed that it sized the image down to fit that frame... Thank you! I like to use the expansion effect to make it look like the video is panning in very slowly but I don't my resolution to suffer... Thanks!
Not sure I totally understand. You can render it out as a 4K video if that's better for you - that way you don't loose much of the resolution. You won't keep the original number of pixels (in this case closer to 5K). Often I'll export original timelapses as a 4K timelapse and then have them in my stock library ready to drop into a timeline whenever I want.
really nice tutorial! helped me out a lot! but there is one problem... it gives an import error in after effects, it says it's missing 9001 frames (?), it also says I need to change something in import preferences..? please help me out man!
thanks rob and jonas for the tip. but can you make tutorial with windows program like windows movie maker? because some of us maybe don't have mac book. thanks
great tutorial!!! you say you need a timelapse shutter release cord if your camera don't do the timelapse in camera. well I have a nikon d800 and is it possible to post the raw files in lightroom like you do?
+Ridwan Fabas Hey! If you can shoot in RAW there is a lot more you can do to your images. If you have Adobe Lightroom you first bring them all in to the program, make your adjustments to one of the photos and then sync the adjustments you did to the rest of the photos in your sequence. Then you export the whole sequence as jpegs and use the jpeg images to create your timelapse video. This way you will first use the benefits of the RAW images and then use the smaller file size of the jpegs to create the video file. If you have any problems following the steps in the video just let us know! Good luck!
Hey there I made one timelapse but problem is because it was from in morning from darkness to light it goes into badly over exposed and literally ruined hald of the photos :D So how to do that? :D
Couple of questions about Final Cut Pro X. Does it have a warp-stabilizer option? What about a way to make the motion effect without the use of any sliders while creating the time lapse? I am trying to determine between Adobe Premiere or Final Cut and I obviously like the price of Final Cut much more than Adobe. Thanks
+Brandon Whitley - Final Cut does have an image stabilizer, but as far as I can tell, both Premieres and Final Cut's will not work with hyperlapse creation. In final cut it's called optical flow.
For you second question regarding making a "sliding effect without a slider" you can sort of make the image look like it is doing a slide even though in reality it really isn't. Since the RAW images are a lot larger than your standard 1920x1080 HD videos you can make a slight movement of the image by either scaling up the frame or starting scaled up and scale it down instead. This way it will give the impression of a moving in or moving out slide. Alternatively you can do the same thing but change the position sideways so that it looks like you are sliding to one side. Does this make sense? /Jonas
Hello! Great channel! What would you recommend in shutterspeed, and how long should the intervall be between the shots to get a nice timelaps? And how many pictures should i take? I know it all depends on how much i want to se and so on, just thought you had some kind of standard or something?
It really depends on what your subject is. If I'm shooting people walking I would go with 1/50 shutter speed, but with something like cars or clouds I would go between 1 or 2 seconds to get that blurry effect, and I use a 5 second interval for every shot, I'm no professional, but right now I'm working on my first time lapse and those are the settings that have worked for me :)
Since he already answered the shutter speed basics which i also agree..regarding your shot intervals, it actually depends on your subject. If it is slow to medium pace..you could use higher intervals like 5 secs or more..i even shot a 30sec interval because it was a clear sky and i only focused on the stars..sunsets or sunrise that takes quite a while(depends on where you are shooting) usually uses 5 seconds or more(maybe not more than 10 seconds so that you could still get smooth motion). Now for faster moving subjects(cars, people walking, airports or trains) you would want a more detailed timelapse to catch more action. With that i recommend 1 second to 5 second interval depending on how fast the pace is. Also for fast moving subjects..always be mindful of your shutter speed so that you could get the blur effect or clarity you want stock from raw. For example, i shot an airport runway..i tried 3 second interval and the subject pace is just so fast..i get good motion on the plane docks but a little on the take off so i went to 2 seconds interval and it got that detailed motion yet fast timelapse. since it was morning..i used fast shutter(1/50 if i remember correctly) since i want clarity.
Rob & Jonas' Filmmaking Tips I love it. Super easy to use, and your video was instrumental in how I imported and enhanced the first time laps clip. I have a Genie Mini too and will be experimenting with synchronizing both to make linear time lapse with rotations.
oooh. I don't have the mini. Let me know when you get a full sequence. Would love to hear how it goes. I'd rather hear from you that it's easy/hard than hear Syrp tell me it's easy. You know what mean...
Thanks , your videos are really helpfull ... i tried the fcpx method and i don t have access to the stabilisation button in the inspector ! Like the new compound clip is not a video sequence ? Any solution ?
Compound clips can't be stabilized (no idea why not). The workaround if you want to stabilize it is to 1) export the sequence then 2) stabilize it after you reimport that video clip. :)
biscuitsalive - It is a tad confusing I suppose. I find it easiest to skip the whole talk of fractions and that "22" is actually a small opening because it's "1/22" and just explain what it means on the camera. I should probably have said it that way instead. Good point.
+Rob Nelson Films yes sorry to criticize. I make mistakes in my videos all the time. But maybe a add an annotation for anyone that would get mislead. Great video otherwise. :)
biscuitsalive Done. We actually just finished shooting a little video explaining how confusing f-stop and aperture really is. Kind of embarrassed I made that mistake. Thanks again.
+Rob Nelson Films Easily done, I seem to be often explaining basic cinematography to people on Facebook, you would think they would read a manual if they are spending a couple of grand on a camera... but apparently not. I learnt a lesson about mater pedestal recently, always thought it would give a bit more dynamic range if pushed up (many well regarded youtubers have said so) but no it squashes it if anything see link -
Hi, I was wondering how you did the smooth movement of the camera within the time lapse. The camera seems to move rightwards. Is this a post producution thing or dit you actually set up the camera and move it every couple photo's?
It is possible to syncronize the changement maked in lightroom (in all the photos with the button syncronize) with camera raw? Or it is better (if I use photoshop) to make an action with the changed and apply later with batch option to all the image? p.s. sorry for my english, I'm from Italy
i hope you can react ASAP. I have the nikon d90 and whenever i try to shoot a video watch on the dslr itself it's good quality, however when i import it to my mac the quality sucks:/
Hey guys, I have a question. I am a tour guide in Peru and have a group coming in September. One of the guys is a videographer and wants to bring his drone. Hoever, he has read that there are some countries that prohibit bringing a drone into the country, Brazil being one. He is concerned that Peru could be the same. My question is... Has your team brought a drone into Peru in the past and if so, did you have any issues gettin it past customs?? I would hate to have my clients gear get confiscated. thanks you in advance for any advice!
Also, I think it's dumb. They're not even profiting from the drone thing. It costs like 10 bucks for the permit but takes forever to get. Charge 100 bucks at the airport and let people bring it in... that's my take.
Depends on how big your RAW files are. Most of my RAW files are 25 MB each. That means I get about 40 pictures per GB. You probably need about 400 pictures for a descent timelapse. That means you need about 10GB. I usually put a larger card in though - 32 to 64 GB.
Liked and Subscribed!! Awesome! Please tell me what movie making software is best. I want to produce VLOGs like Casey Neistat but he won't answer me, I hate it when that happens! Secondly, I've read recently that Adobe rents their software online but some speak against against for different reasons. What is your take on that?
Oh, and about "renting" the software. You could probably see it more like a subscription. You subscribe to use the Adobe service or program. The benefit is that you won't have to worry about having to buy a new program when an updated version comes out since you but the downside is of course that you will have to continuously pay for the use of it. Final Cut Pro X does not use this subscription model. We can't exactly say which one is better or worse, it is probably all a personal preference and depending on the type or project you do and how much you edit. Not sure if this helps. :)
+usasVideos - Honestly, the most reliable is the Canon Remote trigger, but the off brand ones are great too. I can't remember the brand, but you can do a quick google search on it.
Do you mean... "How do I get it to move so smoothly in a particular direction?" If so - I use the syrp genie. I have a video on that. th-cam.com/video/uWYQzaO2FZQ/w-d-xo.html
Well. Yes and no. it's basically the same, but Gopros have a few less adjustments you can make. A DSLR is what a professional TL filmmaker will use, but you can get great results with gopros too!
Yeah, but on the hard drive titled "AMAZON 2015" you have a folder called "SWEDEN" - see 5:28 So you where in Sweden, doing postwork on the Amazon rainforest, having Sweden in the Amazon folder :D
Great Video! I use LR Timelapse 4 (or 5) whichever version it is now for mine. Its a little confusing at first, but the entire workflow sits between it and Lightroom - check it out if you havent.
Hello my name is Ben and I ve got some ideas about videos using Hyperlapse; Could you just spend 1 minute giving advices on my video in the Beaujolais Region? This a lot
+Rob & Jonas' Filmmaking Tips Rob thanks for these videos. They are terrific. I have a G7 and from reading the camera documentation it seems that the battery would be juiced after a certain number of shots, which at the 2 second interval would not get me a very long scene.. Any way around this?
Nice timelapse and tutorial! What was the settings for this particular timelapse, e.g. number of pictures taken, interval between each picture, etc. Thanks!
most of my timelapses are about 2 second intervals. I take about 600 pictures for any given one. In post I can trim, speed them up or do other processing to them. I find that gives a nice interval for me to work with later.
Fair comment - I'll do that in the next timelapse tutorial. It doesn't really warrant an entire video though as all you need to do is retime your timelapse in your final edit ... but I'll address that next time. Thanks.
***** - No, not auto. Usually I'm outside so I'd set it to daylight temperatures 5500K or so. That's either set manually or I move it to the little sun icon.
I just to to say that I originally somehow got to your channel looking for blog tutorials. But dang!! You have so much good content, I'm super happy to have found you, love the channel, the tutorials, and learning! Thank you very much! Keep it up! P.S.

Your channel is awesome, keep it coming and thanks for sharing these great tips!
:) Hey, thanks so much for stopping by and for such a nice comment. Appreciated.
Nice video. I like that you go through the entire process of making the time lapse and not just shooting it. Thank you for sharing this information :)
Thank you. I've watched a ton of tutorial videos today, and none of them explained the post process very well. I am going to be doing night sky time lapse at Hale'akala Crater (Maui) in a few days, and have also solved some mysteries about night sky time lapse using your Grand Canyon night sky time lapse video. I'll definitely be going to you guys now for clear, concise directions. THANK YOU!!!
+Bianca Smith - Awesome - Thanks for the comment! That's really nice to hear. Good luck with your trip.
Your channel is helping me a lot to my student stuffs done pretty much easily! Thanks buddy!
:) Awesome. Thanks
love those tutorials. It gives me such a better perspective, with editing time lapses
As to software/application. I highly recommend the Adobe Cc suite too. (I use all of it nearly every day)
But for those that don't want to spend money the gopro studio is free and apparently good for time lapse etc.
or of course iMovie is surprisingly good for a free bit of Mac software.
biscuitsalive Great Recommendations. I need to check out the gopro studio to see how it works. Thanks.
Thank you. Helped out so much. Very good covering a few programs. Such a simple work flow. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful and clearly explained. Have subscribed and look forward to viewing your other videos.
Hey Rob. Loving your videos mate. I'm very new to the hobby, and tried my first time lapse not long ago. I had it set to auto (yep very new to the game haha) and it flickered a fair bit.
Anyway watching a few of your videos has helped me understand more and hopefully move onto a better time lapse next time.
Just need to learn how to edit my stuff now.
Thanks heaps mate 👍
Fantastic! Good luck! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Awesome videos, I've been able to learn so much, really easy to follow along. A question about software as I want to have a similar set-up however is their a way to purchase after effects outright? Final Cut pro, Lightroom and the time-lapse plug in can all be purchased outright but I only see after effects available through the adobe creative cloud.
Great channel! One piece of information I'd like to know is how long do you wait between exposures and how long are exposures?
hi,
congrats for the explain.
2 curiosity question.
1- how many second did you use like interval time between each photo? 2?3 sec?
2- how was the setting camera about aperture, iso, and shutter? f8,160,50th? I try to guess it :))).

Hey! Just watched this video! I am a super beginner lol! I have experimented with time lapse on my iPhone quite a bit, sunsets and clouds. I have realized this is something I really enjoy doing, watching and sharing, but I want to get more serious. Could you share some of the best beginner set ups. What kind of camera should I get and can grow with and what kind of tripod and timer should I get?
Your channel is so great! I am referring to this channel to make a slightly strange time-lapse movie
Very good demo indeed. Thank you very much.
Hey awesome video! Do you ever use frame blending in your timelapses? If so, do you do it right in FCPX or use another program to get the image blurring effect? Thanks! Subscribed for sure!!!!!

Nothing about photo interval time and shutter speed.
Yes indeed. I cover everything in my tutorial on my channel if you're interested.
Really appreciate you sharing this info Rob.
Hope you didn't get bitten by too many bugs!
Actually the bugs are way worse in the northern US. It wasn't too bad. Thanks!
Amazing video. One question in your timelapse the hut is moving (in this case the camera). When you are taking the pictures you are moving the camera to the side to create the idea that it is moving?

Very helpfull tutorial here.. I don't have Lightroom, is there a cheap/affordable alternative for a beginner in timelapses ?
From the examples that you show, I still see some flicker. Why aren't you using LR Timelapse in conjunction with Lightroom?
Hi thank me for the vid it really helped a lot but I wanted to ask how to select all the photos because I can't find how. Where would it be? Thanks.
Love the final cut process for time lapses :), thanks for sharing.

Gr8 tutorial. Concise, insightful, and useful. Thank you very much.
what camera u used in the first scene to take ther timelapse.
really nice tutorial! helped me out a lot! but there is one problem... it gives an import error in after effects, it says it's missing 9001 frames (?), it also says I need to change something in import preferences..? please help me out man!
Do you know what interval you used for that particular timelapse?
thanks rob and jonas for the tip. but can you make tutorial with windows program like windows movie maker? because some of us maybe don't have mac book. thanks
Sure thing. I'll see what's an up to.
just an easy and simple way for beginner like me rob :)
thanks for your time
Hi! I was just wondering what the math equation is with intervals and stuff like that. I'm just starting to get into time lapses.
fantastic video, extremely helpful. Thanks so much.
great tutorial!!! you say you need a timelapse shutter release cord if your camera don't do the timelapse in camera. well I have a nikon d800 and is it possible to post the raw files in lightroom like you do?
José Campos yes
Thanks for the nice tutorial! Do you have anything that shows how you are doing the panning during the timelapse?
Just create a new "compound clip" and zoom in slowly on it.
Where in the Amazon was the tree canopy shot from? Tiputini in Ecuador?
+Robert Rodriguez Suro Actually this was about 60 miles east of iquitos.
Where are you located (generally)? Love your stuff.
Ash Tailor - Hey Ash. We're in both Sweden and Charlotte, North Carolina! Thanks for the compliment.
Hey Rob, thanks so much for the reply. Is there a company address I could get in touch on? Thank you :)
love this,
this tutorial is easy to understand. can i ask, what the format you used to do this, jpeg or raw?
i'm sorry if my english is so bad
+Ridwan Fabas Hey! If you can shoot in RAW there is a lot more you can do to your images. If you have Adobe Lightroom you first bring them all in to the program, make your adjustments to one of the photos and then sync the adjustments you did to the rest of the photos in your sequence. Then you export the whole sequence as jpegs and use the jpeg images to create your timelapse video. This way you will first use the benefits of the RAW images and then use the smaller file size of the jpegs to create the video file. If you have any problems following the steps in the video just let us know! Good luck!
wow, i really appreciete it, thank you so much
Bow do you know how many lixels to export your images at ?! You exported them at 2500 ??
Thanks for the excellent explanation!
Hey there I made one timelapse but problem is because it was from in morning from darkness to light it goes into badly over exposed and literally ruined hald of the photos :D So how to do that? :D
hi again! :D how much photos do u take per second? thnkz a lot
how frequently do you take an image while filming the time laps??

+Rob & Jonas' Filmmaking Tips so AfterEffects would be needed to stabilize a hyper lapse then?

Awesome! Thank you so much. I'm learning a lot from your videos, and thanks for answering questions on here.

Very confusing saying you use a large aperture for your deep DOF, when you meant you want a small aperture (but higher number fstop)

+Rob Nelson Films Easily done, I seem to be often explaining basic cinematography to people on Facebook, you would think they would read a manual if they are spending a couple of grand on a camera... but apparently not.
I learnt a lesson about mater pedestal recently, always thought it would give a bit more dynamic range if pushed up (many well regarded youtubers have said so) but no it squashes it if anything see link -

Hi, I was wondering how you did the smooth movement of the camera within the time lapse. The camera seems to move rightwards. Is this a post producution thing or dit you actually set up the camera and move it every couple photo's?
arjuna beuger he is using a automatic slider that moves a tiny bit evry shot
thanks David Steen I thought it was a post-production trick. It looks really cool though!
It is possible to syncronize the changement maked in lightroom (in all the photos with the button syncronize) with camera raw? Or it is better (if I use photoshop) to make an action with the changed and apply later with batch option to all the image?
p.s. sorry for my english, I'm from Italy
You actually need to keep a small aperture for a wide depth of field. Not a large one.
sqlblindman big in number, small in size
Glad you caught that. He was thinking f stop value, but said aperture instead. A common point of confusion.
What Brand of Laptop do you used?Tanks Saludos ...Mexicali Baja California Mexico
i hope you can react ASAP.
I have the nikon d90 and whenever i try to shoot a video watch on the dslr itself it's good quality, however when i import it to my mac the quality sucks:/
Hey guys, I have a question. I am a tour guide in Peru and have a group coming in September. One of the guys is a videographer and wants to bring his drone. Hoever, he has read that there are some countries that prohibit bringing a drone into the country, Brazil being one. He is concerned that Peru could be the same. My question is... Has your team brought a drone into Peru in the past and if so, did you have any issues gettin it past customs?? I would hate to have my clients gear get confiscated. thanks you in advance for any advice!
Also, I think it's dumb. They're not even profiting from the drone thing. It costs like 10 bucks for the permit but takes forever to get. Charge 100 bucks at the airport and let people bring it in... that's my take.
Wow, that really sucks. Thank you for the reply. I will send you an email for more info. Thanks a bunch.
How large a card do you need to shoot a flower opening?
Depends on how big your RAW files are. Most of my RAW files are 25 MB each. That means I get about 40 pictures per GB. You probably need about 400 pictures for a descent timelapse. That means you need about 10GB. I usually put a larger card in though - 32 to 64 GB.
this tutorial is very friendly!!! cool!!!!
I think after effect is doing great with timelapse and it's already in Adobe cloud package
amazing !
Cool, very interesting, and very clear
Liked and Subscribed!! Awesome! Please tell me what movie making software is best. I want to produce VLOGs like Casey Neistat but he won't answer me, I hate it when that happens! Secondly, I've read recently that Adobe rents their software online but some speak against against for different reasons. What is your take on that?
Either Final Cut Pro or Adobe premier ... Both Casey and I use Fcpx
Oh, and about "renting" the software. You could probably see it more like a subscription. You subscribe to use the Adobe service or program. The benefit is that you won't have to worry about having to buy a new program when an updated version comes out since you but the downside is of course that you will have to continuously pay for the use of it. Final Cut Pro X does not use this subscription model. We can't exactly say which one is better or worse, it is probably all a personal preference and depending on the type or project you do and how much you edit. Not sure if this helps. :)
Wich remote trigger do you use, and wich whould you recommand?
+usasVideos - Honestly, the most reliable is the Canon Remote trigger, but the off brand ones are great too. I can't remember the brand, but you can do a quick google search on it.
omg how did u highlihht in final cut pro
Please please tell me how to create timelapse stills where everything is compressed into a jpeg.. cant find anywhere :(
What aperture did you use for this?
what camera do you use?
hi rob, what you use so the image you took look like the camera is moving to de right so smoothly ?
Do you mean... "How do I get it to move so smoothly in a particular direction?" If so - I use the syrp genie. I have a video on that. th-cam.com/video/uWYQzaO2FZQ/w-d-xo.html
After Effects doesnt open the entire sequence, only the first file. Tried everything.
What did I do wrong ?
Nicely done!
Hi, i want to ask. is it the same making timelapse with gopro and the standard dslr camera?
Well. Yes and no. it's basically the same, but Gopros have a few less adjustments you can make. A DSLR is what a professional TL filmmaker will use, but you can get great results with gopros too!
It makes me curious... How did Sweden end up in your Amazon-folder? ^^
Jonas is from Sweden so I was in his basement doing the postwork.
Yeah, but on the hard drive titled "AMAZON 2015" you have a folder called "SWEDEN" - see 5:28
So you where in Sweden, doing postwork on the Amazon rainforest, having Sweden in the Amazon folder :D
Ah - the hard drive was called AMAZON 2015 ... and then I added my footage from Sweden. Good catch.
what's your interval between each shot? 2-3 seconds? thanks
3-5 seconds
U are genius,subscribed !!!
how to combine normal video and timelapse video ? so i'll get video that have transition from normal video to timelapse, thanks
That's a great idea! Ok. Working on a tutorial for that.
It helped me a lot!! thanks!!!
How come the picture moves from left to right, do I also need to move the tripod slowly from left to right too? I am lost, thanks in advance.
No, you absolutely don't. That's a fancy technique that I've been doing. th-cam.com/video/SHwaGHMb8TY/w-d-xo.html
Great Video! I use LR Timelapse 4 (or 5) whichever version it is now for mine. Its a little confusing at first, but the entire workflow sits between it and Lightroom - check it out if you havent.
+Tyler Glover - great tips. Yes, I did just get LRtimelapse. It's great for all sorts of TL's! Thanks for the comment Tyler.
Hello my name is Ben and I ve got some ideas about videos using Hyperlapse; Could you just spend 1 minute giving advices on my video in the Beaujolais Region? This a lot
Thank you for this great video!!!
Hi what video aditor application do you use for editing your video
Amazing! Thank you so much!
great! this is in Peru rigth?
Yep... About 60 miles east of Iquitos
nice, i live in Peru, i go to that place soon!
i love timelapses too!
Great video... thanks
I'm just starting out. Any suggestions or walk-throughs you can suggest?
This is very helpful ....
thanks a lot 😁
so set camera on manual and what now? what interval of shots how to set camera settings.. :(
2 seconds is a good start
+Rob & Jonas' Filmmaking Tips Rob thanks for these videos. They are terrific. I have a G7 and from reading the camera documentation it seems that the battery would be juiced after a certain number of shots, which at the 2 second interval would not get me a very long scene.. Any way around this?
Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
Thank you
Nice timelapse and tutorial! What was the settings for this particular timelapse, e.g. number of pictures taken, interval between each picture, etc. Thanks!
most of my timelapses are about 2 second intervals. I take about 600 pictures for any given one. In post I can trim, speed them up or do other processing to them. I find that gives a nice interval for me to work with later.
Thank you! I would suggest you make a tutorial on how to speed up a time lapse, given a number of shoots.
Fair comment - I'll do that in the next timelapse tutorial. It doesn't really warrant an entire video though as all you need to do is retime your timelapse in your final edit ... but I'll address that next time. Thanks.
Very Nice!!!
excellent!
Thanks a lot
thnx so much
Great job !
how u did the motion? automate slider?
***** - I did the motion with the Syrp Motion control on my slider.
Rob Nelson Films thanks, could u do a tutorial with this too? :)
Rob Nelson Films By the way, how do u setup ur white balance? auto?
***** - No, not auto. Usually I'm outside so I'd set it to daylight temperatures 5500K or so. That's either set manually or I move it to the little sun icon.
***** I did one on it already (lucky). th-cam.com/video/ehDvrP7W2Gw/w-d-xo.html
