![]() You can create a movie from an image sequence using iMovie'09. I have dreamed of doing better timelapses for years, and over the last years some people did crazy stuff with bulb ramping and mechanized ramps, so it's like "well, should I keep it simple or go full equipment" ? Or do something in between and buy a Promote or a Timelapse+ ?This page is part of my survey on how to make movies. I will try Timelapse Assembler, thank you. Is there a loss of quality like with the previous ones? Imovie 10: not intuitive, didn't manage to use it. 13 second sequences are OK if you have a long TL with a lot of sequences, it's nice., but sometimes I like longer ones (over a day or so). I tried LRtimelapse, didn't even manage to install it! Correcly, it work but couldn't render because not correctly installed. 16GB cards > Well, i experience one day not one but two 16GB cards dying on me during a concert, not only it's a lot of money down the drain but hundreds of photos too. Cheap remote > I have one, the batteries die so damn quickly! ![]() Magic lantern > I read about risks of bricking I agree it sounds weird that i want to carry a laptop. Lightroom isn't meant to produce the video file itself, you use LR to edit the RAW photos (with the help of LRTimelapse, if you have changes in exposure during your sequence) then either export the photos directly into LRTimelapse to make the video file (I do this to preview the sequence) or export the photos in full res and make the video in some other program. You can use LRTimelapse to make the video file as well, but I prefer to use Adobe Premiere for that.ġ. I've never had the need for more than 400 photos per sequence, that's over 13 seconds at 30 fps, I tend to keep my sequences under 10 seconds. I also use a cheap intervalometer (something like this) where I set the time between shots, then I monitor the histogram to see when I need to adjust the exposure (for sunrises and sunsets).Īs far as post processing goes, I use Lightroom and LRTimelapse, which is free for up to 400 photos per timelapse. I have a couple of these plus a few 8GB cards and I've never ran out even on multiple day outings. ![]() So I can fit approximately 3 sequences onto one card. I use 16GB SD cards, which can hold around 1000 RAW photos. On average my hike is about 2 hours and about 1000m of elevation gain. ![]() I mostly do timelapse in the mountains, so I have to carry everything I need with me (tripod, camera, lenses, water, food, clothing, first aid kit. If I don't get LR to work I'll first batch edit them in LR and them timelapse them in the program I hope I'll find one day. Does anybody know simple, BS-free and cheap programs thatġ) capture from the mac and save on the mac sequences of unlimited (i.e many) shots with intervalls, no less, no more?Ģ) Stitch that in a timelapse program that works and keeps quality? No less, no more. Any input concerning the aforementioned problems is very appreciated. I just need only ONE function that works! HD, full size, full ratio. Useles program with way too many import functions. Now, whatever the resolution or the ratio imported, it only displays a small randomly cropped area. Istopmotion 2 Pro: I remember using it without any problem, though I was never satisfied with the quality. The problem is debatted on many forums, no viable solution found. Every time i click on "slideshow" to get to the timelapse presets, the program crashes. I have been using LR for years but never for timelapses. Still, I am against buying large CF cards because of the risk or corrupting them (CFs die very quick.) But this remote could make me change my mind if viable. I have a remote doing intervallometer, but it's too random because 1) battery drains as quick as I drink beer 2) doesn't import pics on the Mac/PC. I tried something called DLSRremote or the like, but the demo is full with pop ups so I couldn't see it it was any good. CF cards get filled quickly and the process stops. Seems to work great sequence wise, but apparently can't store the shots on computer only. ![]() Problem mentionned on a few forums, no solution. I indeed manage to open EOS Utility 2 with this trick, but the any timelapse sequence stops after 2 shots. This topic meantions the problem and a solution, but it works only for recent Canon models. EOS Utility doesn't work anymore under Yosemite. I used to link a 450D and then a 5DMkII to an Imac and used EOS Utility and Istopmotion. Gear: Macbook Retina 2014, Yosemite, Canon 5dMkIIįew years back i did some timelapses, and want to start again. ![]()
