I have CS5, where is the Convert to Icon thing

[Lilkiwiguy87]

In Photoshop CS3, it's located in a drop menu after clicking on a small button with a triangle facing left on upper right corner of the animation palette. We don't have CS5, so, we're not sure.

[E510]

@Lilkiwiguy87 Isn't that icon for duplicating a layer?

[Lilkiwiguy87]

We said "on upper right corner of the animation palette."

You guys are amazing! Thank you for your help.  I just made my first time lapse. You are brilliant.

[Lilkiwiguy87]

Hah, you're welcome. Go and have a creative fun. :)

@Carfreak888 huh? 1080p is widescreen.

[Carfreak888]

@superkiwizorro thanks, that did the trick, but i don't understand why the video frame size is more square like compared to the photos

[superkiwizorro]

@Carfreak888 to get 1080p size, you'll have to resize the video by cropping 1920px x 1080px. so, yeah, you're basically cropping to downscale the video to fit 1080p requirement.

[Carfreak888]

@superkiwizorro thank you, will try that now, but by crop down to 1080p do you mean crop the picture so it's visually smaller?

[superkiwizorro]

@Carfreak888 the export settings that is provided in this vid is for maximum video quality for SHORT time lapses. if you have a loooong time lapse, crop to 1080p or 720p resolution then set the bit rate for 2,000 kb/s and leave everything else at default settings. this should reduce the file size to under 1GB. it's probably 40GB because you didn't crop.

[Carfreak888]

Halp, my video ende dup being 38 times bigger than the original folder of photos, and it doesn't play, probably cause the file is too big it's 40 over GB, any ideas? D:
