Time Lapse Software?

by Kurt

Anyone know of a program that can take a video file and "condense" it into a time-lapse type file?

I'm guessing it would let you choose how many frames you want to save, such as 1/5 or 1/20.

    Would you not get the same effect by just changing the speed of the video?

      Yes, I would get the same effect, but not the same file size. This would make a movie 10X bigger than needed, if it were "lasped" 10:1.

      And it would also require the end viewer to make an adjustment.


      But I really appreciate the help.

        Pretty certain this is incorrect.

        When I crunch a video timeline in Vegas it renders only viewable frames and the file size shrinks significantly.

        Also, I'm not sure what you mean by the end viewer making an adjustment..

    I am pretty sure it is in the camera not the software if you want any sort of quality.

    The file size is no bigger than any other video size then. Software would do what you say and make it a lot bigger. Most time lapse is shot on pretty expensive equipment and thats why you don't see a lot around however most new cameras come with a 60 fram per sec now which allows for slowing down .

    If you go to vimeo they have a lot of examples and then read the comments below which will provide you with great training.

    Use adobe premiere or corel video studio pro, I think it will help a lot.

    Most " time lapse" is done in the camera by taking a few frames on set intervals. The best way to advise you is for you to let us know what your subject is that you want to film, and what end result you want to have. If you already have footage, then what your goal result will determine what you need to do.

    More detail better answer....
