Time-lapse/framerate options

I heard that OL CS3 had a time-lapse feature, or at least the ability to select different framerates to record your footage at.
Ideally (and I don't know how plausible this is) the ability to record in a multitude of codecs, frame rates, and resolutions would be best... but the simple reintroduction of frame rate options would be a real gain for this software.

take a look at this http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV675LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco=MTA4NTc4Nzk.
so i guess the answer is: basically yes !

  • Time lapse option disappeared

    ok....
    iSight works, I can record with it, but since yesterday when I reinstalled my system, the time lapse feature is simply NOT THERE...
    Even though I have iLife '08 installed, I am using the previous version of iMovie, and within the last two weeeks I had absolutly no trouble doing time lapse. It is simply not listed anymore. I have the little triangle, I have a pull down menu, my iSight is listed, my iSight functions, my iSIght records at full speed, BUT NO TIME LAPSE OPTION.
    I have tried creating a new project in every available format (DV, iSight, mpeg)... nothing. its just gone.
    Thanks in advance....

    i haven't double checked, but I am thinking the first post had it.
    My 10.4 G5 system install cd's are pre-ilife '06.... Even though I bought iLife '06 and still have the DVD, I went straight to iLife '08 without first doing '06 after my system reinstall.
    So, I was using version 5.01 of iMovie which came with my g5 in '05.....
    and when I installed iLife '08, iMovie HD was moved, and no software updates will bump it up, because I had to pay to upgrade to iMovie HD 6.0.... (hence my $160 worth of iLife just to keep my $3000 baby "up to date"....)
    so, I will install '06, then '08 and hopefully it will be back.
    I bet iLife '05 didn't have time lapse as a feature.... and I should have checked before posting as a '06 problem....
    thanks, oh loyal beyond all reason Apple Commnunity!
    thanks!

  • Quicktime movie rendering for time lapse does not work in CS4

    Hey guys,
    I m trying to render a time lapse video on PS CS4 and the process works well up until the export window. When i go there the first option under file options, quick time export, is unavailable( grayed out). The only available option is Image sequence. What do i have to do to enable the quicktime movie creation or any other movie format for that matter? Thank you.

    Welcome to the forum.
    For PS CS4, I assume that you have PS-Extended. Is that correct?
    What OS/platform?
    Do you have Apple's QT installed on that computer? If so, what version?
    Good luck,

  • 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. 
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left? 

  • I have an image sequence in JPG and when I select open image sequence, select all does not work and I can only highlight one frame at a time.  I want to import these frames into QT7 to make a time lapse clip.  Any suggestions

    I have an image sequence in JPG that I want to import into quitck time 7 for making a time lapse clip.   It has an option to open the image sequence, but when I do, it only lets me highlight one frame at a time.  The select all option seems to do nothing when I click on it trying to highlight all the frames. 
          If QT7 is not designed to perform this function, is there another alternative?   iMovie is non intuitive for this kind of operation and I cannot find a clear tutorial for using it to make time lapse clips from a sequence of still frames.  
           The tutorials Ive found on YouTube are well intended, but they all seem to leave out a vital step that eludes detection.  
      Anyway, any help appreciated. 
    Thanks
       I am new to this forum and I'm not sure I can locate this thread again once I'm out of it.
    <Email Edited by Host>

      Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time  from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each. 
        To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation?  Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet. 
        Thanks

  • Time-lapse flicker unchanged after Color Stabilizer

    I shot a sequence of still photos of a cluster of roses blooming in front of a blue screen for creating a time-lapse clip, my first time to try that.  I have an NTSC-sized comp that fills the frame nicely with just one of the roses.  As expected, there is flicker due to imprecision in the camera's aperture, and the rumor is that AE's Color Stabilizer effect should fix that.  I have Keylight to key out the blue, and also TimeWarp to speed it up because the rose took longer than I thought to open (although that's optional, as I can just make the clip at its original length and speed it up in PPro when I combine it with backgrounds), but I made sure to put the Color Stabilizer below those other effects in the timeline - that should mean it is applied first, right?  The Color Stabilizer in is "Brightness" mode, and because the rose's petals move, I put the "Black Point" on the blue screen.  But it still flickers - it doesn't look like there is any improvement over not using the effect at all.  Am I doing something wrong?  Naturally, if the Color Stabilizer was being applied after Keylight, it wouldn't work because the background would already be erased, but I think it should be applying it first.  If I have to put the Black Point on some part of the rose, I will have to chase it with a bunch of keyframes, and it may still not work right.  Recommendations?
    I wish there was an effect that would simply look at the whole frame's brightness and smooth each frame to a running average of several frames in a row, but as far as I know, such an effect doesn't exist.
    Additional info: AE CS4 on Windows XP. The photos were for 1 second each @ f-8 with a Canon Powershot S3-IS, if that matters.

    If the lighting and background are constant, there's nothing for Color
    Stabilizer to do, you should not have needed it at all.
    That would be true if I was shooting with my video camera (which I have done for many a sunrise or other less-than-one-hour time-lapses.  But the problem is that most still cameras do not keep their aperture set while waiting between shots, and even in manual shooting mode with a specific f-stop, there will be slight variations.  The flicker isn't caused by my subject matter, but by my camera.
    In my case, I'm actually pretty pleased that my camera did as well as it did, considering that it's not an SLR.  The flicker is not nearly as bad as some examples I have seen on the web.  For your benefit, I made two half-resolution Quicktime file of the same 4 seconds of the middle of the sequence - this one has no effects at all, and this one has not just one but two effects added that are rumored to be helpful in reducing flicker: Color Stabilizer in "brightness" mode with the "black point" on the background, and Auto Levels with a Temporal Smoothing setting of 1 second.  (Even at half-resolution and only four seconds, the files are still over 14MB each, because they contain the full frame rate of 29.97 fps, so be patient with the download.)  To my naked eye, I can't see much difference.
    I'd have
    processed the individual stills in a batch in Photoshop first, leveling
    all variables.
    How does one do that?  I do have Photoshop (CS2),  but I'm not much of a Photoshop expert and have no idea how to get it  to compare levels between even two files, much less do such comparison  in an batch fashion between thousands of files.
    Thanks for the link.  I didn't see anything directly relevent at first glance (deflicker discussions center around using VirtualDub on a progressive video file, but my source is 3000 still photos, my destination is interlaced DV-encoded video, and I don't really want to process and resave it multiple times if I can avoid it).  But when I have more time, I'm sure I could learn lots about time-lapse in general by reading the forum threads.

  • How do you set up a TIME-LAPSE movie "before" putting into CS5 ??

    Is there a way to put together a time-lapse sequence shot with a DSLR (comprised of many stills) into a movie at 30fps, BEFORE putting it into the Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 timeline?
    QuickTime does NOT work because the images I need to use are TIFFs of much too high a quality for it to handle.  I know, I've tried.
    I know I can put the stills into CS5 as a series of shots lasting 1/30sec each to make a sequence, but that does not allow me to control the finished sequence "as a whole" for further altering like duration or other effects.  Otherwise, I would have to make alterartions one frame at a time, which is ridiculously time prohibitive and not precise.
    I'm using a Windows7 PC, and a Nikon D2X DSLR camera shooting in RAW.
    Any advise and help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    First of all, Pr won't import the RAW images, so you'll need to pre-process them and convert them to a more "standard" image file format, such as TIF or JPG. I think you already realize this, but thought I'd just mention it.
    When you want to import as a timelapse clip, check the "Numbered Stills" checkbox in the Import dialog, and select just the first image in the numbered sequence and click Open. This will create a clip using each image as a frame of the clip; you can select this clip, right-click, and select Modify > Interpret Footage to set the frame rate you like. There is also a check-option in the flyout menu of the Media Browser called "Import Numbered Stills as a Sequence" that does the same thing; just select that, import the first image, and the rest of the images will be imported as part of the clip.
    Once this is done, the images will act as one clip, so a single effect will affect all frames in the clip.

  • Iphoto starts to open but the time lapse wheel just spins and never gets to photos

    I have iPhoto 11 version 9.2.3.  Running on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.
    Iphoto worked up to about a few weeks ago.  Now it opens to the iphoto screen but just stays there with the time lapse wheel spinning for hours and never opening to the photos.  Not sure what to do to fix it.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you get the same SWOD (spinning wheel of death) then try this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If the test library opens and runs OK the problem lies with your current library.  In that case  make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • 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've been using this method:

    But, I'm going to give yours a go later on, cheers

  • 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 have hours of footage - too many hours to just do speed changes.
    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.
    Is there a way to automatically grab a frame and hold it for a half second or so every 30 seconds?
    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.

  • Problem with importing images into time lapse

    Hi
    I am having problems with importing still images into a time lapse sequence in photoshop and would appreciate any suggestions!
    I want to create a time lapse using a sequence of still photographs.  All file names are sequentially name/numbered. 
    I am using the Motion workspace, and have followed all of the instructions available. 
    Create correct sized new document (film & video).
    Create video timeline.
    Set frame rate.
    Choose 'create new video layer from file'.
    Point to first image in the folder where the images are stored.
    At this point, no matter what I have tried, I receive this error:
    I have tried different sized new documents; tried jpegs and tiffs; tried different frame rates, tried different qualities and sizes of images; tried selecting the last image instead of the first (one recommendation).
    If I use the 'Place' command from the file menu (and check the 'image sequence' box) instead of selecting 'Create new video layer' from the layers panel, it loads fine and I can still render the video.
    It took me most of a day to discover this workaround, but every other reasonable 'how-to' that I can find says that I should be able to do it by opening files into a new video layer and it seems as though the new video layer option may give me more alternatives.
    Anyone have any idea why I could be having these problems?
    I have reset Photoshop, deleted the settings file, even reinstalled it.  I use 64-bit on windows 7 and even installed the 32-bit to try that, but all with the same result.
    Stuart

    Unfortunately, yes--I've tried it that way over and over, and every other way I could think of.  The files are all in one folder, and I've converted the raw files to both tiffs and jpegs.  I even tried converting them to jpegs at the final pixel dimensions.  Each folder that I have used only contains one type of file, and they are all part of the same sequence and sequentially numbered.  I have even tried renumbering the files with numbers first, numbers last, numbers only, moving underscores.  I moved the files from my external hard-drive to the desktop ... I have a lot less hair than I had only a few days ago!
    I've looked at a few other tutorials that outline the same sequence of steps, and tried them over and over, and then changing one step at a time to make sure that it was not a single step that caused the problem.
    The thing that is really bugging me is that it works fine if I use the different approach of using the place command instead. 
    Anyway, thanks for all of your time.  It's going to be a lot simpler to just stick with 'place' command and I will likely do that, but I tend take things like this as a challenge.  I like to know WHY it won't work for me.  Sometimes it seems that there is just no logical explanation!

  • 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.

  • HDR Time Lapse .mov flicker problems

    Using Lightroom 2.3 trying to create an HDR Time Lapse .mov with quicktimepro. I have slight shutter adjustments (flickers) to correct in many images. I was unable to use manual exposure as time was an issue so auto exp. and manual focus was my only option. This was a scene over water of an amusement park and the waves are crashing, which I did not think of, so the ocean highlights created in camera slight speed adjustments...
    Is there a way to match the sky exposure evenly in all the frames (240 of them) using an auto batch eye dropper action in Lightroom or PS3?
    To add to my problem I have a single jpeg and need to convert to an HDR using Photomatix. I know raw would of been easier but was not thinking....
    I have already tried to tweak each image seperately so I am half way there but still have flickers. Can anyone offer advice that won't take me all day.
    Thanks for your help....
    David

    Thanks Sean,
    I was hoping lightroom or PS3 could batch correct the exposures to match each other....Jao gave me "match total exposures" from the settings menu and this helped but still have to correct some by eye. You are right about the shutter drift. I used a Nikon D200 and that has issues. Looking to buy the D700 soon.
    My other problem was the HDR conversion of a single Raw frame.....I am going to try and "match total exposures" before doing the HDR and see if that works....

  • Importing Time Lapse into Premiere CS4

    Yes, I am new & Yes I have trawled through TFM and FAQs and am lost in info overload!
    I need advice on setting up Premiere ready to import the sequence and once the movie is ready, the best export settings for uploading to Vimeo
    I have made several time lapse (TL) sequences using a Canon 20D SLR (I also have a 5D2 but reluctant to use it for TL because of image/file size)
    The 20D at the smallest setting give me an image size 1728 x 1152 and file size approx 950Kb per image. The average quantity of images per T/L sequence is 1400 images (frames)
    I can import them as a sequence and run them as a movie but need to 'Scale as'.
    Q1: Is this OK to import large images or should I resize them in Photoshop first? I don't want to go through that procedure if I can avoid it.
    Q2: Can someone give/advise me of a Premiere 'Setup profile' to accomodate importing from a still camera sequence. I am confused by all the various options offered. I only want to view on a monitor.
    Q3: According to Vimeo FAQ, they recommend H.264/AAC codec (MP4). What do other Vimeo users export as?
    Q4: If I have setup Premiere 'Capture mode' (only 2 choises: DV& HDV) initially to DV and export the file as 640 x 480, Can I re export the same project as 1280x720?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks for your reply
    Through trial and error I discovered the answer to the resizing before I read your reply. Had I still been struggling and in doubt, your efforts would have given me the answer I needed.
    In fact I have set up a couple of batch resizes in PS with some post work (A sniff of smart sharpen) before saving to a 'resized' folder.
    I haven't read your article as yet - just a quick scan - It looks very useful and I look forward to giving it the time it deserves. Thanks for your efforts.
