Time Lapse creates 0kb files

I've been using a VF0750 for several years, mostly with SKYPE. Camera works file and has good color and resolution. I've taken several normal videos with it successfully. In the last couple days I've tried to create time lapse videos with various settings from the drop down menu. Every try resulted with a .wmv file of 0 (zero) bytes. I'm using Windows 7 Pro and upgraded the Live Central 3 software and drivers to the most recent. Any suggestions would be welcome! Thanks in advance.

Hi mrrwpvt,
For your info, the last driver file release is LCCT_0750_PCDRV_17_1_01_01A.exe and can be download here.
The creation of time-lapse videos could have created these temporary 0 bytes .wmv files, in which case, these can be easily removed as they do not contain any data. Unfortunately, there may not be a ready fix to this.
Regards,
Colin-CL

Need to add date/time stamp to file name without time change creating new files

We have setup our application to save data once a trigger event occurs. We also need the date/time stamp as part of the file name. We used Format Date/Time String and concatenated it into the file name. It all works good, but as the time changes (seconds, minutes, etc.) it causes the Write to File to create a new file with the new filename. Is there a way to create the file and save/latch/buffer the time in the file name so that it doesn't create a new file for every second?
I've attached a shot of the relevant part of our VI. It's all in a big while loop. The data save is in a case/switch so that when it is triggered it starts saving. (The for loop is to split the data up
into 4 different files). Like I said, it all works except new files are created every second as the time changes instead of just putting it all in one file with the initial time in the file name.

I need a loop in order to use a shift register. I cannot stop the outer while loop (because it would stop the hardware from collecting data), and I cannot add loops inside which bogs down the processor to where the app stops. I've attached a simpler version of my VI which illustrates the problem. While the button is pressed (the trigger) it should save the data (in this case just cycle numbers) into one file with the initial date/time. But, you can see that it creates 1 file/second. I tried using shift registers, but without adding extra loops I can't see how to do it. Thanks

Cool time-lapse created in Photoshop CS6 beta

Anthony Scime used the Photoshop CS6 beta to create an evocative time-lapse illustration inspired by the upcoming Blade Runner sequel:

Tip of the hat to the Iceflow Studio Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/IceflowStudios) for pointing out this example of CS6 beta work.

It's amazing stuff. It was created by one of my wife's old college friends. Good thing she keeps old friends on Facebook.

Export PDF creates 0kb file and Print Error.

By "Print Error", I mean a simple pop-up window with the pages logo and the sentence "Print. Error while printing" even though I haven't asked for anything to be printed. The resulting pdf file is zero k in size and useless.
I had this problem in iW '06 and thought that '08 might fix it. No dice though.
Deleating prefs did not fix the issue. ['06 or '08]
Anyone? Thanks.

I suspect that you've turned off a couple fonts with Font Book (or perhaps removed them from the Fonts folder). Pages expects certain fonts to exist - even if we don't use them or even want them.

Bug with Image Sequence ( not loading/using all files ) for time lapse creation

Hello everybody!
PhotoShop CC 2014
I am looking to create a time lapse out of 240 still photos that I took with my DSLR, but I am facing what probably is a bug, or a mistake on my part.
I have all the photos in JPEG format with proper naming & sequential numbers ( DSC001 to DSC240 ).
I'm creating a new document, selecting Film & Video, then by using the Layer -> Video Layers -> New Video Layer from file... and selecting the first image of the sequence I load the photos.
Since the output is 1080p, and my photos are captured at 24MP, I convert them to a Smart Object as requested by photoshop when trying to resize them to fit them in the 1080p resolution.
I then set the time lapse frame rate to 24fps and when I proceed to Render the video, in the Render Video dialogue, the frames to be used in the "Range" section are less than the frames that I've got.
Instead of 240, it shows 219.
I have the "Allow Frame Skipping" option unchecked of course
Your help is really appreciated!

I need help using Premier Pro CS5 to create a short time-lapse video . . .

Hello I am new to Prremier Pro and need help creating a short time-lapse video. I have a Sony CyberShot TSC-70 and a Canon ZR930 to capture images and video but none do time-lapse automatically (I think). I also have Premier Elements 9 and Photoshop CS5 if needed.
I am late completely this project and need help. Suggestions urgently needed.
Thanks,
billy

Nice to know Elements has that function! I don't have elements, and did a one hour into 15 seconds timelapse in Premiere by importing my one hour clip into the timeline, then using the time tool within the effects panel to speed the file up by 1000% (maximum allowable in a timeline, apparently...) Then I nested that sped up sequence within a new sequence, and did it again... I think I had to do it twice, but I got a nice 15 second sunset timelapse out of a one-hour shoot by using that route.

Time Lapse import creates new clip for every frame!

I shot a time lapse film - five hours reduced to 4 minutes ie one frame every 4 seconds. The iMovie Import wizard created a separate 'Clip' for every frame, (which is unusable), and then crashes the program every time I try to open it, I guess because there are too many 'Clips' to handle.
Is there a way to import these discontinuous shots as a single clip? If iMovie can't do it, any ideas on a better way? I couldn't get Quicktime Pro to do any better - it opened thousands of separate windows on the desktop.
Fortunately, the original is on DV, though each frame has a different time stamp on it.
Thanks for any ideas!

FYI
I found that iMovie 6 was able to handle the multiple files and I could export them as an MPEG4 file. iMovie 08 bombed big time.

Problem to create a time-lapse video

Hello all,
I'm encountering a problem with my CS5.1 , let me explain . I want to create a time-lapse video from many pictures i've taken, But when i go to File------Automate------Batch , then I'm supposed to find in Actions something called "Time-Lapse processing " or something like this, but it's not there !!
Can you help me in how i can get this work,please ? much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
It appears that you are looking to process your Still Images in Photoshop, with an Action, and then via Automate to Batch. Is that correct?
Premiere Pro does not use Actions, and has no Automate>Batch.
However, if one is doing Time-Lapse Video, PrPro can do that nicely.
First, will you have any Video, or only Still Images?
If ONLY Still Images, then you must address your intended delivery, say DVD-Video, or BD, or streaming media. That will determine your Project/Sequence Preset.
Let's say that you intend to create a BD (Blu-ray Disc), in full-HD, then you can choose a 1920 x 1080 Project, at a FPS for where you are, such as NTSC = 29.97 FPS.
After you have perhaps Scaled your Still Images in Photoshop, and named them in sequence, such as ____00001 through ____0000x, all in one folder, you can then Import that Numbered Still Sequence into PrPro, and even add a Transition, if needed.
For most true Time-Lapse, one would choose a Duration of 1 Frame, but for a bit of a Stop-Motion "look," then 3 - 5 Frame Duration might be better. You can always experiment with a few of your Images, to see what suits your tastes and desires. For most of what I do, the Stop-Motion look is my choice, and I will usually choose a Duration of 3 Frames, with a tiny Cross-Dissolve between those Frames. This is your artistic choice. There is no right, or wrong choice.
Hope that helps, and for the Photoshop aspect, you might want to post the question here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/general

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
i am sure there is a simple way round this?
thanks guys!

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

64 bit Photoshop CS 5.1 Extended crashes every time I create a new file or open an existing file

I installed the 64 bit version of Photoshop CS 5.1 Extended successfully. It opens fully without issue. However, any time I create a new file or open an existing file, it crashes.
I figured this would have something to do with my graphics card, but it still does the same thing after updating the drivers & nVidia software. Seems like my whole trial will end up expiring before I ever even get to use it!! Please help!!
System details:

Thoughts?

Can Acrobat create PDF files that once downloaded - can't be opened after some preset time (48 hours)?

Hi Edward lkeda,
I am not very sure of that however as per my knowledge , you can use Adobe send service and provide public link to your users and then after 48 hrs you can delete the file from server and make File-link inaccessible.
Hope that helps,
Please revert back for any further query. I will try my best to help you with your problem.

How can I create a Time Lapse from clips in FInal Cut Pro?

Currently have 3hrs of footage from an event....wondering how I can create a time lapse of it all in FCP. I want to make it shortened down to around 4mins if possible. How is this created?

Try exporting a reference quicktime of your sequence and reimporting it into your project. Drop it in a sequence. Use the Time remap tool (click and hold in the select edit points tool until you see the icon that looks like a clock and choose it). Click and drag the end of your clip until it's at the 4 min mark.
Andy
PS: This is for FCP 7. Earlier versions of FCP require use of the speed dialog (CMD+J) or Time Remapping in the Motion Tab of the viewer.

Creating a time lapse

I imported video from my newly bought HD video camcorder and was wondering if anyone out there knew how to make a time lapse from the video, as in speed up or down the time in which the video was taken. Just wondering if there is a way to do this in imovie rather than final cut.

Time lapse and fast/slow motion are different effects. In any case, no, you cannot really do them from within iMovie '08. You can either is iMovie HD here, or create the motion effects externally using an application like the JES DeIntelacer.

Creating a time lapse from a video

Is there a way in iMovie 09 to discard frames in order to create a time lapse from a video that has already been shot? I realize that the normal way to create a time lapse is to assemble a group of stills into a video. What I'm looking for is sort of the other way around. If this is not possible in iMovie, does anyone know of other software that can do this?
Thanks,
Bob

Yes. For example, you can set the speed to 800%.
