Is time lapse recording back in iMovie '09?

iMovie HD (v.6) had a built-in time-lapse recording function that would use your webcam; it was pretty cool. iMovie '08 got ridd of it for some inexplicable reason, does anyone know if it's back?
Thanks =)

It's a fairly hard-core feature (but I guess so is green screen) so hardly surprising it didn't make it in to the 'new' iMovie.
For now, would this help?

  • The Comparing RAW with TS Time Lapse Recording file for MSI PANOCAM

    I am a big fan of MSI, I have been using its motherboard, MP3 and NB. MSI introduces a new IOT product in 2015, MSI PANOCAM, I feel excited about it, therefore I wanna share some experience of MSI PANOCAM here.
    Have you heard Time-Lapse, it is very popular skill for movie and advertisement. it looks very interesting because Time-Lapse shows interval recording fast forwarded.  It has been widely used in various industry, such as observation of flower growth; building construction and natural scene change.
    The Comparing Analysis of RAW and TS file for Time Lapse
    How to manage time lapse recording file is critical problem in the marketplace many end-users encountered. Generally speaking, there are two categories file have been used as Time Lapse recording, one is RAW file and another one is TS file.
    The advantage of RAW would be better video retouched, such as more flexibility of colorful balance, color temperature adjustment and less Zoom in/out distortion. Especially, RAW is quite suitable for weak light resource environment and low speed camera shutter. Therefore, the requirement capacity of RAW file is larger than TS.
    As beginner, be familiar with TS is suggested here, you can not perform as high quality as professional RAW quality until you learn proper shooting skill. Practicing shooting skill is necessary and should be prior than video retouching.
    Left part is shooting by TS and ambiguous scene can be seen; Right part is RAW which demonstrates more detail scene

    To change the amount of time you want each frame to display, you can do one of 2 things:
    -Change the frame rate of the Image Sequence in the Media settings (select the layer and typ Shift F). If the frame rate is less than the project frame rate, your clip will play more slowly.  If the frame rate is greater than the project frame rate, it will play more quickly.
    -Change the Speed in the Timing section (Inspector->Properties->Timing).  This is the method I think most people use.
    To blend the frames, change the Frame blending option, also in the Timing section of the properties.

  • Time-lapse still photos to IMovie???

    Greetings.
    I have a Nikon D2x that will shoot time lapse photography. I tried a test of 30 images (one second of video). So I have a folder of JPG images which I then resized to 640x480 at 72dpi.
    At first I tried to import these stills into IM just by dragging and dropping my pictures into the clips window to the right of the viewer. It took a while for these to "render" but when they finished, I placed a few of the images in the time line.
    I pressed play, thinking that each photo would show for 1/30th of a second, but what happened instead, stayed on the first photo, did a pan out, and then went to the next photo.
    My question, (and maybe IMovie is the wrong app for this) is how do you take a sequence of still photos and have them play each for 1/30 or 1/24 of a second so that I can see the out come of my time lapse photography?
    Thank you for your help.

    how do you take a sequence of still photos and have them play each for 1/30 or 1/24 of a second so that I can see the out come of my time lapse photography?
    The easiest is to use QuickTime Pro ($30, from Apple). It lets you import a series of images to a movie, creating just what you want. You can tell it to import the images at 30 frames per second or any duration you want.
    It can be done in iMovie too, but there are some hurdles. One is that iMovie lets us import a photo with a duration no shorter than 3 frames per second (shown as 0:00:03).
    But there is a back door. See this topic:

    I pressed play, thinking that each photo would show for 1/30th of a second, but what happened instead, stayed on the first photo, did a pan out, and then went to the next photo.
    That happened because the Ken Burns settings in the Photo Settings window were set to zoom in. Turn off the Ken Burns checkbox and import the image as a still instead of an animated video clip.

  • Time lapse recording with On Location Cs4

    Does On Location Cs4 Support Time Lapse HDV Recording?

    HArm, I believe the poster was asking if Ol does time lapse capture of real time video. It does not. If the source video is already time lapse, then of course it can. but if this was the situation I doubt they would be asking the question.
    This feature was in old versions of Premiere 6 and 6.5 so many folks were hoping it would reappear in Pr or Ol at some point. It hasnt yet. (You could tell premiere 6.5 to capture say every 200th frame)

  • Does the time-lapse feature in imovie work well?

    Hi, I just got a gig to produce a time-lapse video covering the changing light on a building from dawn until dusk. I work in Final Cut Express, but have heard that imovie has a time-lapse option; i.e. you can set up the Capture to only grab 1 frame out of every 30. Does this work well? Can I come out of my camera with firewire into a laptop into imovie and just capture onto the hard drive without running tape? (Otherwise, I don't know how I could record 12 hours continuously).
    Thanks for any input.

  • VF0770 - Time lapse issue

    Hi,
    can someone help me figure out my issue with time lapse recording in Creative Live! Central 3?
    I have no problem to capture normal video, but time lapse capturing is not working as expected. Doesnt matter what period of time I choose to capture. It always create only a small wmv file in destination folder. The lenght of video is around 1-2s only even if I select 30min or 1hour.
    Thanks for any recommendation.

    •JPEG is a highly compressed image format.
    •DV PAL is a highly compressed video format -never more than 720x576 pixels. Your images are being renderd to this Timeline setting.
    •When you view the Canvas in Final Cut pro, it always shows you a low res proxy image to better enable real-time playback.
    Solutions:
    Use TIFF or PNG images if you have them.
    Render the Timeline.
    Choose a higher res codec in FCP such as DVCPro or ProRes if your computer and FCP version support it.
    View the output of Final Cut pro on a calibrated, broadcast quality monitor to see how things really look. An excellent quality consumer TV will go some way to giving you a idea of the quality if a broadcast monitor is not within your budget.

  • Time lapsed delayed accounting in Tcode FB50

    Hi!
    I have the following problem:
    If I account the document in Tcode FB50, I cannot see directly the document in Tcode FB03. I am receiving the message "The document not found in year 2007".
    BUT the day after I am getting this document.
    <b>How can I set up this "delayed"/ time lapsed accounting back in order to see immediately the results?
    Is there some parameters/settings responsible for this or some SPRO-settings?</b>
    Thank you very much
    Regards
    Axel

    Hi Axel,
    no, there are no settings behind, it should be there immediately. If it is not, so it is "only" a performance issue. When you press Save, first the usual checks are carried out and if everything is OK, the update procedure (german: Verbucher) is started.
    The update does not only include the creation of your accounting document on the database but there may be some follow-up accounting dcuments created, for example a controlling document, a profit-center document, any number of FI-SL (special purpose ledger) documents, and any number of CO-PA (profitability analysis) line items. All of those to create takes some time, but the delay really should not be that big.
    If you are not able the see the document within, say, 20 seconds, then you should tell this your database administrator so he/she can take some steps to resolve the issue.
    What you should check: if you are using year-dependent number ranges (i.e., doc. number intervals restarting at the beginning of the fiscal year), you have to find the document by specifying the company code, the doc.number AND the fiscal year in FB03.
    If you experience such a long delay, you can check transaction FBN1, pushbutton Status whether the document number was updated already. It should show the last issued number for each interval, so you should find your interval easily (beware the year!!!). If you have gaps of several hours, you may become some gaps in your numbering which may be a legal issue in some countries.
    Hope that helps, points welcome

  • How to make a time lapse video in iMovie using a point and shoot camera?

    I recorded an approx. 45-minute long video on my Canon point and shoot digital camera, then imported it on to my computer. (The file format is .MOV)
    Now I would like to turn this video into a time lapse, of about a minute or two long. I know that iMovie HD has a time lapse feature, but it seems to only be for camcorders?
    How can I import this .MOV file and turn it into a time lapse?

    Kirk, I think Nancy wants to just take a frame from her video every minute or so, so that the 45 minute video runs for, say, 45 seconds.
    I don't think she wants to "speed it up" and make it run at breakneck speed, but wants to put together frames taken at a particular interval ..e.g; one frame per minute.
    I'm sure you know how best to do that using QuickTime. Any suggestions?
    (..Otherwise, Nancy, choose a point in your video - using iMovie - about one minute into the video and then use 'Create Still Frame' (or ShiftApple'S') and make the new still frame just a few moments long ..repeat through your 45 minute movie. Drag all those 45 stills together and you have a time-lapse movie. You could make each of them one-and-a-half seconds long, and apply a half-second Cross Dissolve between each of them. You'd then have a less "stuttery" and smoother time-lapse video..)

  • Are there file size restrictions when utilizing the time lapse feature in iMovie?

    I am attempting to compile several hours (10 to be exact) worth of video footage from a Go-Pro that I would like to condense into one time lapsed video using iMovie. After modifying the speed for the clips (31 total individual clips) my computer is unable to play back. I end up "beach balling" and waiting for the processed clip to load for an undetermined amount of time --so far only resulting in the program 'not responding', pressuring me to have to force quit iMovie altogether. (The icon on the clip itself updates to depict the 'fast forward' rabbit, and the physical clip size does shrink to lead me to believe that the time lapse successful applied). If the clip does play to begin with, it is very quickly
    Any advice on how to achieve hours worth of video footage without using other programs? I've tried speeding each individual clip with time lapse one by one, but adding even two of the 20 minute clips crashes the program.
    any assistance or advice is extremely appreciated.

    Try VLC Media Player.  It has a reputation for playing just about anything you throw at it.

  • I have been storing my Aperture and IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive that recently died.  Fortunately I've been using Time Machine to back up to a 2nd external drive.  How do I restore my libraries to a new external hard drive?

    I have been storing my Aperture and IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive that recently died.  Fortunately I've been using Time Machine to back up to a 2nd external drive.  How do I restore my libraries to a new external hard drive?

    This is a tricky one.
    Open up Time Machine and go back to a date using the timeline on the right side of the window when you know the drive was working and was backing up as part of Time Machine backups.
    Click on the name of your Mac under the Devices heading on the left side of the window in Time Machine, and if things are working correctly you will see Macintosh HD (or whatever you have named it) and the name of the external hard drive that was backing up in the past.
    Right-Click on the name of the external hard drive and then click on "Restore (name of drive) to....."  You may be asked for your adminstrator password at this point.
    It might be easier to restore the drive contents to your desktop if you have room on your Mac, and then copy things over to the new external drive where you want to store the Aperture and iMovie Libraries.
    Once the libraries have been moved over the new external hard drive, you will likely need to "point" Aperture and iMovie to the location of the libraries on the new external hard drive.

  • Time lapse issues in iMovie 10

    I would like to embark on a time lapse movie with existing jpegs (shot through a surveillance camera). I am unable to locate the transition time feature in iMovie 10... I notice it was quite easy in version 9 according to youtube tutorials. Can anyone help?

    I've been trying to do something like this, too. I found a blog entry that seems to show how, but I can't get it to work.
    Briefly, I can import the images into the movie project (I used an iPhoto album, but I suspect that importing files from a directory is just as easy), select all of the images in the timeline, then use the Adjustments Bar's "Info" tab (click on "Adjust", then the circled "i" at the upper right) to set the duration for all of the images. Unfortunately, I can't set the duration to a value less than 0.5; I'd like to use something like 0.1.
    I'm going to try exporting, re-importing, then speeding up the play rate (as mentioned in the linked blog), but that seems unnecessarily tedious.

  • Time-lapse iMovie

    I'm trying to create a time lapse movie using a lot of stills, I imported them all into iMovie but it has added a transition between each image that causes it to zoom in and out between each still - how do I get rid of this?

    Are you using a project theme? If so, don't. When you create the project, did you check "Automatically add"?

  • Time Lapse with iMovie 11

    I was really hoping to be able to build a time lapse movie with iMovie 11.  But, it looks as if it isn't possible.  There are two big issues:
    1.  It would appear that there is a maximum number of 'clips' that iMovie 11 will accept.  So, when importing still images, iMovie freezes at the maximum.  I'm not sure what that miximum is, but it's somewhere between 500 and 1000.  Does anybody know?
    2.  It would appear that the shortest period that I can allocate to an individual image is 0.04.  So, each image lasts for four frames.  It means that the effective frame rate for the time lapse is 6.25 frames per second (assuming a 25fps PAL movie).
    It's so annoying.  It was possible to develop time lapse movies with iMovie HD.  It took a bit of messing around, but it was possible!  I can't seem to find anyway to do it in iMovie 11.  Anybody got any suggestions?

    Thanks.  I'll look into getting Quicktime Pro ... although I was hoping to take advantage of iMovie so that I could interweave time lapse footage with standard footage.
    I did manage to come up with a workaround, but it isn't particularly elegant.
    I found that I could import around 500 still images without a problem.  Before importing, I adjusted the project properties so that Photo Duration was set to 1 and Initial Photo Placement was set to 'fit'.  I then dragged the images to the project and they imported.  Once they were all imported, I adjusted the clip properties so that the clip duration was 0.04 (the shortest duration I could get it to accept) and made sure that I checked the 'apply to all clips) box.
    I now had a string of 500 images at durations of 0.04, and I exported this as an HD quicktime movie.
    I then tried to do the same thing again, but found a weird anomaly and iMovie wouldn't import clips.  On a hunch, I deleted the project.  Exited iMovie.  Emptied the trash.  Restarted iMovie.  Opened a new project, and tried importing the next 500 stills.
    It worked!
    So, it's a bit of a fuss, but after each import of 500 stills, I exported an HD movie then deleted the project, emptied the trash, and started a new project.
    Eventually, I'd got through 1,799 images.
    So, finally, I created an entirely new project, and imported the four movies that I'd created.  I imported at 'full' quality to try to avoid as much degredation as possible.  I was then able to bring the four movies into the new project, speed them up (x4) and I've got a half-way decent time lapse.
    It isn't perfect, but it does provide a method of using iMovie 11 to generate time-lapse segments within broader movies.
    I will try Quicktime Pro too.
    Does anybody have any suggestions for best export settings from Quicktime so that the time lapse could then be imported into iMovie 11?
