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!

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.

Time Lapse import from GoPro

My Gopro camera has a time-lapse option/feature that takes one photo every X seconds. You can then import those photo stills onto your computer, which I have done. For a 30 minute time-lapse "video," I've collected a little over 1000 stills and have uploaded them into Premiere Elements 10's Project area. Is there a way to move more than one still photo at a time from the Project area to the Timeline? The only way I can see how to move the stills to the timeline is to drop each individual photo into the next frame, which, as you can imagine, is going to take forever. Isn't there a way to select all or move all stills from the project area to the timeline without having to click on each individual still...then move it over to the box, then unclick..then move it back...1000 times? Please tell me there is a way...please...

If your photos are named so that the will appear in alpha-numeric order in the Media panel, you can grab the entire block at once and drag them all to the timeline.
BTW, before you bring them into the project:
1) Ensure that your photos are no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size to avoid overloading the program.
2) Go to Edit/Preferences/General and set the still photo duration. You can set them to be one frame each, for instance, to create a stop motion animation sequence.

Time Lapse Question

Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files. One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB. Now I can only find the 1.8MB one. Did this option disappear with Lion?

Sorry but this is not clear.
When you would "import" what?
two files would show up in "images".
Do you mean in the All Images search in the Finder?
IF so:
1.Never interact with photos that are in iPhoto via the All Images Search. This does not understand the iPhoto Library and it's very, very easy to damage the library this way.
2. What you were seeing was the original file you imported and the thumbnail created by iPhoto for viewing on the iPhoto Window. That thumbnail is not designed for user access.
What are you trying to do ultimately?

Also, my battery died after like 4 hours of a full charge.
This is a brand new phone .. HELLPP!!!

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again. This usually takes care of glitches. You will not lose data resetting the phone that way.
As for the battery drain, if you're using push/fetch for your mail, try to delete and set up the mail account again, the have been cases, in which the mail app tried to log into the mail server over and over again, causing the battery drain.

I am trying to use the liquify tool for the first time. I created a new document (RGB/8) and before I place my photo, the liquify option is available. After I place the photo, the liquify option disappears. What am I doing wrong?

For one thing you forgot to mention the version of Photoshop you use.
Did you place the image as a Smart Object? Liquify got Smart-capabilities with Photoshop CC.

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 !

My brand new back up drive is connected but now time machine has disappeared after working perfectly for a week. - no icon, not appearing as an option to save to - have rebooted everything a few times.

It's not clear whether you were able to do any backups to this drive at all. If not, it's probably not formatted properly. See #5 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for instructions.
If you did get any successful backups, there may be a problem with the drive, or the backups may be corrupted. Try to repair the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

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,
Hunt

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.

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.
