[Dikshithrai]

Hello Guys ,

We have developed this iOS App called Quick Lapse HD for time lapse video recording on iPhone/iPod. Please check it and give us your feedbacks on how to make it better.

Thanks in Advance

[KazCrazy1]

@Dikshithrai can you make it for Mac osx lion? Just sayin =P

[czechys]

@nm377129 You can if you have a mac, google 'time-lapse gawker' and download it. If not I can't really help you sorry.

[buckrogers999]

how do you create it with a pre recorded video so that i dont have to carry my pc to wherever i am recording the time lapse?

[zenoist2]

@buckrogers999 Look up a thing called Magic Lantern.

It shoots timelapse photos straight from the camera which has to be pretty cool.

I have it on my eos 550d

[buckrogers999]

how do you make it with a pre recorded video so i dont have to carry a pc around with me all the time and just leave my video camera recording?

[Jedontheweb]

Could you just record a long film fast forward it in an editing system?

[shayneb923]

[cscollen]

thats sweet! but can you tell me how to do it with photos that i have already taken??? i cant seem to add them to the time line

[ar4216]

Whoa dude, you composed the music yourself as well? Nicely done.

[MarioMan421]

dude u were the one that clicked on it!

[CTHennebry]

what the fuck?

[DWAx1999]

duz anyone know how to time lapes with windows movie maker

[calumisthebest]

go on to wmm. tools, options, advanced, select the quickest picture duration

(0.125 seconds) then import all the photos you want in the movie and drag them to the storyboard :)

[Collin2377]

not working

[Collin2377]

i tried , i put 100 pictures in there and it only shows me 3

[links212]

@DWAx1999 It's possible to make time lapses with WMM, but it's tedious. You have to load your frames in one by one.

[MrIigle]

@DWAx1999 yes.

[czechys]

@DWAx1999 It can be done, if you haven't already found out,

1). Import all the photos you've taken into windows movie maker

2). Find the options tab in the drop down menus, then go to the 'advanced' settings.

3). Then set the picture duration to its lowest which from memory is 0.125 and the picture duration too (0.25)

4). Select all the images and drop them into the timeline, done.

!To get a nice looking time lapse though download 'windows movie maker 2011' set frames to 0.04 (24 fps) :)

[nanaimoion]

i dont think so

[comebackata2]

can't i use windows movie maker?

[Ninjarni]

all i can hear is bwambbmabm.... at max volume-but i guess maybe my sound system it really crap? according 2 this vid...

[superpsych0delia]

glad you have put text on the screen because i cannot understand a word your saying..

[zimpiko28]

The easiest one is to take that really really long video and speed it up a bunch in Adobe Premiere. You can do it in any version.

[ahmet4231]

have you another good version?

[ynglin]

Its hard to hear what you are saying with the backgroundmusic

[kinglynx]

will this still work with adobe premier CS3?

[whopwhop1234]

any suggestions on final cut express time lapse tricks??

[ItsJonnyPotter]

Can I do this with Adobe Premier Elements 7.0?

[Ninjarni]

no, your computer hates u

[tonyhatman]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial. Very well explained and to the point.

[nawataipan]

I just open Premiere Pro. Import the full length video. Set it on the timeline. Select the rate stretch tool (x) and drag the right side of the video toward the left. Then File > Export as desired.

[LanceOK2]

Hi, you can also use a programe called "Handy AVI 3.2" which I use with a Philips SPC900NC web cam and get good results, check my time lapse out ;-)

[scarmack121]

this was no help...new to time lapse and i get to about 1:10 into the vid and it dont work...the timelapse button wont let me click it...not sure why not but its not avaiable...its just a grey color and i cant clcik it..any help would be appreciated

[mishmishthe1]

ok so were did you get the cloud part did you have a vid of clouds or what

[SimUK]

I made it by pointing a camera at the sky and capturing the timelapse frames as shown.

[mishmishthe1]

k thanks

[gangstabrutha]

can you suggest a camera that has

the function in itself without the need to

link it to a computer?

[kinglynx]

so do you record a video, or do u take a picture, wait 10 seconds take another and so on?

[marcotogniphoto]

he takes a video.

[adrutu]

OK, but if i already have the photos, how do i make the display time smaller???

[skypirates]

THANKYOU!! this is awesome, i want to do this on the beach with surfing

[zrluka8]

nice video, ths a lot!!!

[demonboy193]

how do you download that

[000dgtlkttn000]

Thank you for posting! I'm having problems finding tuts on Elements 4 though, do you have this version? I'm muddling though at the moment :0)

[SimUK]

I haven't gone for Premiere Elements 4 no, as I didn't think there were really enough new features/changes. I've now moved over to Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8 (although, that doesn't have the same time lapse/stop frame features, so still using Elements 3 for that)

[judgejudyslover]

someone is talking to you on msn XD

[SimUK]

They're not - MSN wasn't loaded. The program which is blinking on the taskbar is the Logitech Quickcam capture software which runs when the webcam is activated.

[judgejudyslover]

well that's me told XD

[justiceincanada]

GOOD IDEAS.ALL THE BEST

[justiceincanada]

GOOD IDEAS.GO AHEAH AND ALL THE BEST.

[spinypine44]

Great video thanks a lot if you speak up a little it will be even better ;)

[1SmileDude1]

HELP!!! I Follow SAME thing what you do....But it say "Capture Device Offline." and nothing happened! Please Help!!!!

[SimUK]

What camera are you using and how is it connected?

[1SmileDude1]

I use Olympus (Camera) and what you mean?

[SimUK]

Is it connected by USB, Firewire, Serial, or something else? Does the camera claim that it'll work as a "webcam", and does it have a "webcam" mode that you may need to put it in to?

[FIRESTORM848]

thanks 4 the vid!. i like 2 make lime lapse videos(usually of clouds) but i didnt know how 2 make them like this.

what i did was 2 put the video in windows movie maker then speed it up a lot. not the best way!. it usually worked though but i think ill try to get some software like that.

[johnny102marvin]

Thanks you for showing us how to do this in Elements 3.0...you can't find this kind of information in the HELP section. Correct me if I am wrong. But, I get the idea that if you shoot 4 minutes of the clock and you want to make it run for 5 seconds...it will take the computer maybe an hour to process it..is that right?

[SimUK]

Thanks, I hope it's helpful! I filmed about 8 minutes of the clock, which lasted around 4 seconds in the final timelapse, and yes as you say it'll take longer to process the video when you render it than the timelapse itself - if you just want the timelapse though with no editing then you could simply use the file it saves when you close the capture window, as that renders nice and quickly!
