Excellent tutorial Gavin. Your work is so easy to follow and takes some of the guess work out of programs such as Lightroom. Thanks again and keep up the great video's.
Hey Gavin great video I have a question though. I am think about shooting a time lapse of some city lights turning on as the sun goes down. Do you recommend a setting to use. I know I am supposed to put my camera in Aperture priority and I was going to do 5 second intervals over around 30 mins or so and play it back at 30 fps. I am just not sure what Aperture to use and ISO speed. Thanks!
@BassamAlharbi You could actually just import the time lapse video into a movie making software and add music over the top then export as another video. :D
@BassamAlharbi ..easy deasy: just get a video program editor like corel video pro4 or say,Power director, or just use the editor that came with vista or win 7 like MS Movie Maker Live II or iMovie in apple's OS suite. Make sure your mike, --a good USB digital mike from someone like Logitech will do!-- or just use your mobile and, record there if you must, save to mp3 or wav and import that but, there are options to record live narration as well , in the programs and adust volume and trim.Easy!
@BassamAlharbi To add audio to your timelapse video, you need to import your rendered video into an editing program such as Windows Movie Maker or iMovie 11. And from there on you add the music =)
trying to download the zip file and it gives errors trying to uncompress it. love your videos, is there a new version of file? or can you send me the zip file that works?
Hi Gav.. I was gonna get one of these inverlatometers when I watched this video as I was keen to give it a go...What put me off was the price of the one you had was £45-50.. But since I have discovered one that looks like yours but with a different brand name from an online auction site for around £15.. here goes.......
I was wondering, do you know of any wireless remotes which - when pressed - communicate to a mounted unit on the camera which physically pushes the shutter button on a camera?
How long did you take all those 700+ pictures? more than 1 hour?how long? what about the battery? do i need an extra battery or battery grip if possible? thanks so much! great video!
What a fantastic tutorial. I did exactly what you did without and interverlometer and it worked brilliant with LR3. Thanks so much! I've now ordered an interverlometer to un laden the burdon of waiting!!!!
Dear gavin the link to the lightroom presets is unable to download, could you please give me the presets, since i'd like to try to make this time lapse video.. Thank you very muchh
I was using Photoshops Actions (where you have to record the routine of your edit), followed by Batching Processing to edit the frames, then Final Cut to edit the frames into a video.
@malcha1000 Yes, you're missing lightroom 3. Failing that download the free DNG converter from Adobe. It will change your RAW files to DNG files which are compatible with LR2.
@malcha1000 emmmmm what? I am a lightroom user from the very beginning and i don't remember LR not be able to work with RAW... Maybe some particular RAW format from the camera released afterwards, but not RAW in general :D
Hi, I would just like to say that your video's are really informative, well filmed, are always interesting and I learn loads in every video! Thanks for making them and please keep up the good work!
@E3ZOOBEY no you dont. i just made one today and didnt use one. i used a wired shutter release but the time thing you dont need but it makes it easier.
If your timelapse shots are flickering, I found this nice freeware tool you can use with lightroom, photoshop or bridge to deflicker it. They also have presets for LR, not just 24fps but 30 as well.
Great videos indeed... I love your stream! I am a newbie to photography and would like to seek your advice on my all rounder lens. In your opinion should it be the 24-70 f/2 L or the one you use i.e. 24-105 f/4 L. Do you find the f/4 limiting in any way when you are shooting? Better even, is it possible for you to do a video comparing the two?
@reynanrocks During twilight Aperture Priority is indeed the mode to use, but I was shooting in the middle of the day so I wanted a fixed exposure to maintain sky detail and show the changing light on the land.
@PhotoGavin If it is aperture priority or some other semi-auto mod camera gonna try to adjust exposure everytime shadows are entering into the picture, like the ones from clouds here. So your video's exposure change too much and you don't see shadows and exposure differences.
@PhotoGavin Wouldn't using aperture priority result in increasingly long exposures as light decreases, leading to inconsistent blurring of objects (more blurred as the sequence progresses)? Better to stick with manual and just let the light fade?
thanks for the upload. i almost spent a ton of money on other software to solely for making time lapse videos. i didn't know that lightroom could do that.
Gavin - another awesome video! I love watching your tips and then running out to try them myself. I do have a question about post processing: Is there a way in CS5 - Photoshop to make changes to a single image and then apply to the rest of them as you did in this Lightroom tip?
Gavin you are something something (:
