Thanks mate. You should have a look at the dynamic Perception timelapes dolly at Borge's Imaging. $1299 for a 6' kit

@DanielLeachTen its free

[enkephalinish]

wouldn't 50 fps work better in PAL? and 60 fps for NTSC?

what if I'm not an apple user? =s

[Weslix]

@LordUzi1111 Quicktime is also available for windows ;-)

I don"t seem to have the pro res 4.2.2 option, would uncompressed 4.2.2 be the same, I only have about 12 options?

Well, actually I'm quite new to shooting timelapse videos. I have a Nikon D70 and I use the Nikon Camera Control Pro to take the pictures every 5 seconds. They are also instantly downloaded to the computer. And instead of multiple conversions like here, I set up a Photoshop batch to shrink and cut the pictures to 1920x1080, which I run on each frame. After this I just open the image sequence in QuickTime 7 to make the final video.

Oh my god your a genius!

[jakedrechsler611]

gday i was just wondering whether u kept it in a quicktime movie file (.mov) to upload to utube. what did u convert it to?

[thehubbucks]

Ok, now that I have exported/imported/exported in the same manner as yourself, would you answer a question, please... ...What is the file size of the actual time lapse video? I have created one and (with titles) it is 116mb for a 29 second video; a bit excessive for the quality!

[thehubbucks]

Ahhh, ND filter - I should have known! Nice top-tip, there! Santa brought me a 550d and I went out today to take pictures for my first time lapse...

[GJCreamer543]

how can i do this using quicktime v10 b c there is no option to import image sequence????

[thehubbucks]

@GJCreamer543 Yes, you DO need Quick Time 7 (as I found out); you can download it from Apple's site (or Google it...)

[passion80p]

nice tutorial there..

hv a question... can you tell me what should be the min number of photos for say 1 min timelapse ...... as per your suggestion if I want 60fps then it should be 60*60 photos??

thats very big number??

[findsugar]

and i thought quicktime was useless

[binhider]

Thanks man, this was so helpful

[catcatttt]

so you take a photo every 10 second and then speed them up?

[livest3vieg]

@catcatttt Hi! No the shots have not been sped up... Its a shot taken say ie, every 5 seconds and it has been taken with an effect called shutter drag, so each shot taken, the camera curtain is open for 1 second, making the cars look blurry, and that helps the smoothness time lapse effect
