Time lapse effect from video footage NOT from sequence of photographs?

Hi forum,
hard to find this with a search because most of the links are about using photo sequence.
Which effect can make the appearance of time lapse movies using video footage not photo sequence. Preferably I would like to have control on the speed at different sections.

If you want to simulate timelapse with standard video all you should have to do is speed up the footage. IOW, retime a 1 hour take to 10 seconds and it will look like timelapse.
If you want to simulate long exposure timelapse (like where the lights of cars are streaks) then you have a lot more work to do. You'll need to use something like the Echo effect and then adjust the timing. It would help if we knew a little more about your project. I've been shooting timelapse for more than 40 years and I've used about 100 different techniques. It's hard to replicate all but one of them using a video camera.

Can I make a time lapse effect from video footage?

Is there a way to easily create a time lapse effect from video footage in Final Cut Pro 7?
I have hours of footage - too many hours to just do speed changes.
Is there a way to automatically grab a frame and hold it for a half second or so every 30 seconds?
Thanks,
LD

Depends what you mean by "easily".

I think doing via speed changing may be the easiest way to do this. Once the footage is ingested, get it to the timeline and do your speed up. At least this gives you the option of trying different speeds to get the effect you want, and the option to vary the speed as needed.

Yes, but it somewhat complex. You need to buy an app from the app store called SnapMotion 2 (which I think is around $3.99).
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snapmotion/id548959270
SnapMotion allows you to take a video a file and pull still frames at interval you specify and in the format a frame size you choose, and save them as individual images.
So you would set up the interval you want (say 30 seconds) and SnapMotion will go through the file and pull an image every 30 seconds. You would need to do that to all your files.
(I have never done this with a file that was longer than 10 minutes, so you should check with the developer and see if it will work with very long - multi hour - clips).
Once you have all your pulled stills, then open QuickTime Player 7 and import the still images as an image sequence.
Once you have the image sequence built in QuickTime, export it in the codec you want to use in FCP.

If you're asking if you can import video fror the iOS Videos app to iOS iMovie, the answer is no. You can only import what is in the camera roll.

Time lapse vs. Video

I went to shoot a sunset yesterday and it wasn't anything special. So I thought I would try time lapse instead of video just to see how it would come out. It's kind of interesting. I am not yet sure how I feel about it. The focus is a little soft but it pretty much looked like that due to the hazy day.
I saw a cool video that was all stills, but included some bursts of photos. I want to try that next. Amtrak Trains or BART trains probably. And maybe airlanes landing or taking off (or both).
Anyone have any advice before I get too deep into this?

About 2 years ago this "timescape" thing was being edited and the guy was looking for "pre-orders" to help finance the edit and glass masters and etc....so I ordered a DVD. Got it a around last May. I like helping to support art people like that. The DVD is good quality and it's a nice film. Well done.

In the 'about' area ( I think thats the area ) the website shows some of the rigs. There's more info on those rigs around on web, and for motion control stuff in general. Nowadays 'robotics' is very popular in schools ( high schools etc ), and most of that stuff is easily ( along with RC model hobby equipment ) modified to make your own motion control stuff.
The dolly with skateboard wheels is exactly what I was talking about... and of course the size of platform is entirely arbitrary. The main thing with time lapse ( if you go this far with it ) is you need to determine what the move it ( camera from point A to B ). Then the time you want to travel that in ( if its stars etc then it's the length of the night ). Once you know that you can fix the "speed" of the dolly in your head. The thing now is to divide that into "parts" so that you can do a process of shoot, move, shoot, move, shoot, move, shoot, move ....from point
A to point B....and be done at the time desired. That, like your stage movement Bill, is all there is to it and now ( due to popularity of robotics and rc remote control stuff ) can be done using circuit boards ( interfaces ) with PC and software that lets you plot that without having to use basic language or C+ etc. on your own.
The motors available have many variations of gear systems for power and torque etc, and you could even just use ( like Steve said ) a winch ( with spool and cable ), as long as you work out the distance to travel and the time to do that in.. then you can use the interface to just turn it on and off to do your move, and your remote gizmo to "expose" x number of frames per position. Basically it's a simple motion control thing IMO ??
Stuff is typically really expensive in film biz mostly cause there's not much competition in manufacturing, so making my own stuff is often the way to go. Skateboard wheels ( and bearings ) can be ordered from hobby stores where they sell skateboards. They also have the spacers ( like, you know.. the part that traps the bearing in position away from the mount ? ).. and the bolt size that fits through the bearing is standard.. I think it's 3/8 but dont remember now.
Anyway, hehe.. yeah, Bill, you wouldn't believe all the stuff on the typical " grip " truck for locations.. cool things to build all sorts of tricky rigs etc.
In the end it is just about 'doing' it, not how its done. We used to use wood and rope for car hood and door mounts.. before using speedrail and ratchet straps...whatever 'works' is good to use.
Sliders are typically used to let the camera operator make minor " adjustment" ( lateral ) during a shot to basically keep a happy frame..
Let's say its two people yappin in frame and it's a dirty single. So you want a piece of the foreground person ( side of face from back ) in frame while focusing on the background person speaking.. will draw pic....
So, if the guy gets blocked operator can slide camera left to open up the frame...get the shot..
Usually this is pretty low ball stuff like episodic TV and not some big budget film for projection. Hard to explain, but due to time restraints ( meaning 'money' restraints too) the slider allows for hopefully saving shots that would otherwise have to be cut and another take done. If talent is good they dont do this sorta blocking thing hardly ever cause they 'know' what the lens is seeing and what mm it is ( how tight ).
Anyway, that's the real use of the slider.

Selective Deletion from Infocube Only (Not from Aggregates)

Hi,
For the Selective Deletion, i used the FM 'RSDRD_SEL_DELETION' in program. But this FM deletes the data first from Infocube then from aggregate.Because of this, deletion took more time to delete and adjust the Aggregate.
I need an way in which i can delete the data from Infocube only and after i reach to my reconcile period then i will deactivate and actiavted the aggregate, so the data will be consistent in Infocube and aggregate.
is there any to Delete(Selective Deletion) the data only from the Infocube not from its aggregate (for the Performance Point of View)?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Himanshu.

Hi
You can try manual selective deletion which will delete data from cube only. check out the below thread.
steps fro selective deletion for cubes and ODS
If you want to delete data from FM only, then try to deactivate your aggregates before you start your selective deletion.
Once deletion is done, you can reload the aggregates

Want to delete mails from Thunderbird but not from the server?

Hi,
Please tell me how to configure the settings of Thunderbird so that if i delete any mail from Thunderbird that mail would be delete only from Thunderbird not from server. I'm using IMAP configuration for all my mail accounts and I'm using Thunderbird in my laptop and tablet both.
Currently i'm using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and i just want to delete my useless mails from Thunderbird but not from the server without using pop-3 settings.
Actually the reason for this Question arises because whenever i use to uninstall and reinstatement Thunderbird, i use to take "profiles" as a back up and its size is increasing day by day that is making a big issue to me as i cant take a back up of such a big size file.

Imap mail accounts keep the emails on the server and you see a remote view of those emails and folders.
When you subscribe to see a folder, the headers are downloaded, when you select an email to read, the entire folder is downloaded to a temp cache facilitating quicker access. If you synchronize folders, then a copy of that folder is downloaded to an mbox file in your profile, so that you have a copy of the server folder. When you make any changes to a synchronized folder, read an email, delete or move etc, then Thunderbird will resynchronize with the server to update the server. A synchronized folder allows you to work in 'offline' mode and this is the best time to perform a backup as you know there is a temporary stop on synchronizing as you are offline. They will resynchronize when you go back into 'online' mode.
So, with IMAP mail accounts, the folders you see in Thunderbird are the same folders on the webmail server. If you make any changes via Thunderbird or webmail then you are changing the same folder. You cannot delete an email without deleting it from the server, they are one and the same.
What you can do is move/copy an email into Local Folders and delete the one on the server. The Local Folders emails are kept in your Profile on your computer, these folders/emails are not on the server, unless you chose to keep a copy of them on the server.
Pop mail accounts cannot see the folders on the server. They only access the server Inbox folder and download emails not previously downloaded to the mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. These emails are kept on your computer in your profile folder. You can select to keep a copy on the server or not. You can choose to delete emails off your computer and off the server or not.
If the mail account is gmail , have you subscribed or even synchronized to see the 'All Mail' folder ? Gmail's all Mail folder is their Archive folder, it keeps a copy of all of your non-deleted emails. So, you do not need to subscribe to see this folder as it only shows you what you can already see in other folders. It doubles the disc space.
Please read section on 'All Mail' at this link.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Gmail_with_Thunderbird_and_Mozilla_Suite
You do not have to download/synchronize the entire folder. You could select to only synchronize the most recent xx days of emails.

Delete contacts from icloud, but not from iphone

I want to delete all my contacts and calendar appointments from iCloud, but not from my iphone, and i still want to have iCloud turned on in the future.
I have tried to delete the iCloud account from my iphone but when i log in to iCloud.com from a computer the contacts are still there even though i deleted the iCloud account.
How do i remove these things only from iCloud?

I fixed it, i had to turn off the syncing of the contacts and the calendar on the phone and then delete them from iCloud. Obviously if i turn on the syncing of these items again the contacts and calendar appointments will reappear in iCloud.
So problem solved.

I also have this problem printing photos from an iPad to an Epson WF-2540 printer. It prints only 4x6 and without border (so print starts at extreme top left corner of paper). Borderless printing is not selected on printer. Printing a square photo just crops to 4x6 size.

How can i detach my iphone from my itunes (NOT from my apple ID)

how can i detach my iphone from my itunes (NOT from my apple ID)

Hello Laurien123,
Can you tell me a little more about your situation? I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish. You authorize your computer to sync or download iTunes; you associate your iPhone with your Apple ID, not with iTunes.
Please reply if you can with a little more information, and I'll do what I can to help.
Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201251
Do I need to authorize my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
No. You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but you do need to associate your iOS devices with your Apple ID. Your iOS devices don’t use your available authorizations.
Have a great day!

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
"Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

In my opinion, we need to set up AUTOACCOUNTING for 'REVENUE' as standard lines so that system picks up Revenue account from Standard memo lines instead of Transaction type.
