Time lapse with Smart Control?

If I use the time lapse app for my A7 camera, can I also use the smart remote control from my smartphone to adjust the exposure and other settings while the time lapse is running?

QuickTime Player Pro ($30) can import an "Image Sequence".
An Image Sequence is a folder of same dimension, sequentially named image files (of the same format). I've done as many as 64,000 in a single .mov file.
If your camera was set steady on a tripod when shooting and you had some type of "automatic" frame capture then the files may already be sequentially named and would be the same dimension so all of the hard work is already done. Just move the entire folder from the iPhoto Library to your Desktop to start work with QuickTime Player Pro.
Pro can create an image sequence at varying frame rates. If you shot one frame per second you could use a variety of export settings to help "speed it up".

How to mix time lapse with still images and imported movies ?

Hello
I have been shooting photos (time lapse with Camera Pro) and movies with a Nokia N8 and would love to use iMovie to mount all that.
Unfortunately, for the time lapse I cannot get the duration of the photos to 0.03s, it just won't accept it. I have been looking around the forum and could only find sort of solutions when you have a transition or effect on the pictures but not when they are just fit to the screen...
So now the time lapse looks much slower and broken than the movie itself... and it does not look nice.
Another way would be to make the time lapse with QT Pro and then import it but I am affraid I am loosing quality in the process.
Anybody knows how to fix this duration problem ?
Thank you in advance for any helpful answer.

iMovie : 9.0.4

Able, Jim,
thanks a lot, both solutions work just fine.
Take the first image, adjust the Effects, copy it, select the other images and past attributes
and
just put all images together, make a new sequence and use that first sequence as nested sequence and put the effects on that

Finite pulse-train generation with variable time lapses with NiDAQmx

Being a newby in Labview and NiDAQmx, I find it tedious to program the application I need to drive my experiment : I want to generate a finite pulse train, with variable delays between two consecutive pulses. These delays are known before the experiment starts, summurized in a table (element 0 decribes the time lapse between pulse 0 and 1, element 1 between pulse 1 and 2 ...). I would like to use NiDAQmx to program this. I had in mind the following scheme : two counters, first one counting time between pulses, the second one generating the pulse once "counter one" has finished his job. What I don't figure out is how to reprogram "counter one"'s register, without introducing unwanted delays in the time
sequence of my finite pulse train. I am using a 6052E DAQ, and I want to generate delays in a same pulse train ranging from 1 microsecond up to 20 seconds.
Thank you for ANY help :-)

Hello !
Well, I will try to be more precise while answering your questions. But first let me thank you very much for your help : your comments, questions and remarks are very helpful to help me shape my project, as you shed light on particular problems I strictly had no idea before !
1) I can certainly get on well with digital output as my flash device is triggered by TTL signals.
2) The lighting device is home-made, and I think it will be better for my needs to produce light throughout the duration of the input at the “on” level. In any case it will be driven by TTL-like signals. The intensity is manually set, so no analog control is required.
3) I will use Labview to collect the experimental data. The signal will be sampled during the light pulse : the rising edge of the TTL-like output signal will trigger both the lighting device and the data acquisition, the latter being stopped on the falling edge. The light emitted by the lighting device is called a “probe” for the following reasons : the photons are absorbed by the photosynthetic sample and “immediately” re-emitted at a longer wavelength. A photodiode acts as a signal transducer, and I monitor the intensity of this fluorescence. Knowing precisely when light pulses occurred after the initial start excitation (which is also a brief pulse of light but of a much greater intensity than the “probe” light) and the intensity of light emitted during theses pulses, I can reconstruct the kinetic of fluorescence decay. This kinetic reflects the behaviour of my biological sample. Thus no continuous acquisition is required as between two light pulses there is nothing to monitor. And all the half-time reaction are timed relative to the same “start” excitation as they reflect a jump sequence of an electron extracted by the “start” excitation : first jumps are quick ones (half-time in the 10 �s range) and last jumps are slow ones (half-time in the 1 s range). With respect to these kinetics, I would like a 1 �s precision. If not achievable, I could skip the quickest jump (but it would be a pity) and focus on the second one which has a 10 ms half-time reaction and a 100 �s precision would then be enough. But as we say in French : “Qui peut le plus, peut le moins !” (roughly meaning that when you can achieve the best, you easily can do the least). This precision relates to the position of one flash with respect to the others. I don’t need to be very precise on the duration of each individual light pulse : a typical value is 100 �s duration, but I can get on well with 90 �s or 110 �s, my data being an average of the light intensity emitted during the light pulse). All I want to know precisely is when it is fired.
4) Concerning the hardware, I already have a NI 6052E DAQ board, and unfortunately my laboratory cannot allow me to spend more money on this. I also have a fast acquisition board (IMTEC T3012) I intended to use to acquire my photodiode signal in place of the 6052E A/D converter. It has an old Labview driver, and I managed to upgrade it to suit my needs. It has an onboard segmented memory and can keep track precisely (it has a 60 MHz sample clock) of a trigger event. I am wondering if I can overcome the timing precision issue with this board, knowing that I strictly don’t care that flash n�1 is triggered at (t0 + 10 �s) or (t0 + 11 �s), provided that I know it, allowing me to place precisely my data point on the time scale. I can program the number of memory segments (i.e. the number of light pulses) and each one is filled with data coming from the photodiode upon receiving the rising edge triggering the light pulse. The precise date at which each triggered is received is stored in the board memory, allowing time reconstruction.
I do hope this is much clearer than my previous attempts ! Believe me, it is quite hard to leave biology for a while and enter the cryptic world of data acquisition !

HT4681 Problem exporting time lapse with FCPX 10.0.6

I have been trying to export my time lapse and it processes for a bit, then this message comes up:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)
Before updating to version 6, I had no problems exporting dozens of time lapses. As far as I know, I'm not doing anything differently than my previous ones. This is not even the biggest file I've processed.
I have Compressor 4, and that fails as well.
Thanks for any help

See if it will export with other settings, like Master File, Pro Res. If it does, you can then do your h.264 encode in Compressor.
Whether that works or not, try the usual troubleshooting steps of trashing preferences and repairing permissions.
(I'm also assuming that you followed Tom's advice to make sure both FCP and Compressor were updated to their latest versions.)

Time lapse with Camileo P10 or Camileo Pro HD

Hi,
I have both of these camcorders and I understand that time lapse photography is possible with them????? I've certainly seen a few sequences on youtube that are supposedly done with the P10.
I've been right through the menu's on both and I cannot see how it is done! Anyone able to help please?

I had to googled for +time lapse photography+ because I did not know what it is.
Now Im a little bit slier ;)
I assume both camcorders dont support such feature I also checked the user manual but could not find any details about that.

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?

How to create a time-lapse with Premiere Elements?

To whom it may concern,
I have a DSLR (Rebel T3i) and I am planning to set it to take pictures every so often. I heard there was a way to do it within Premiere Elements and would rather save money since I already own this great software. I would like to have the steps to do so as soon as possible.
Sincerely,

I have a EOS T1i and would like to experiment with time lapse photography. Any help?

I have an EOS T1i and would like to experiment with time lapse photography. I just read an Apple tip for the iPad and it is easy to do with the iPad but timing is something else. I would like to do it with my Canon and be able to change the timing between shots. Can you provide advice? I put time lapse into Google and it had an attachment for the T3i that I could get from Amazon. I don't know if it fit my T1i and don't know where to put it. Any advice would be helpful. I tried to do a search on this forum but could not find the answer.

Cross co. code controlling area - CO Real time integration with FI

Hi all of you,
We are in to New GL, and implementing one controlling area for all the company codes (cross company code cost accounting) with group currency "30". And my client requires the CO - FI Real time integration to take the segment reporting / profit center (new) FI reporting.
My basic doubt is, when we are implementing one CO area, we taking all the company codes as cost center groupings and creating the overhead cost centers. When doing Repost CO line items in CO, how system arrives the company code since we are not referring the FI document or Company code, how system will create the FI document in the company code.
Do we have any separate transaction to do the repost CO line items to hit the CO - FI real time integration?
Please give me your valuable suggestions to use the CO-FI real time integration with cross controlling area assigned to multiple company codes.
Thanks & Regards
Ramki

Thanks for your valuable reply Mr. Christian.
So you mean to say that, when we are maintaining the cost center groupings (per company code), same will be maintained for profit center and will be assigned to the individual company codes, right.
In CO - FI real time integration , I need to select the objects - company code and segment. Whenever any repost happened in the CO module, system will create one FI document referring to the real time objects. We have more than 12 company codes located in different countries. In this way, system is fulfilling the cross company code postings in CO and will generate the FI documents, right.
Please give me your valuable suggestion and when I am looking the note in Market place (91055), it is showing the CAD Interface.
Regards
Ramki

Problems with time lapse in Premiere Pro cs5.5

About a month ago I tried to make a time lapse with my Canon 7D.
I imported the pictures to Lightroom and exported them as JPG. Than in Premiere Pro I clicked on import, selected the first image and checked the "numbered stills" box. It all worked as it should.
Yesterday I tried to do this again. The only different thing is the cameras but I don't think that's the problem (it's the 5D mk2).
When I import the photos as numbered stills in premiere pro it and drop it in the sequence all seems ok. When I move the slider in the sequence forward and backward it also seemed ok at first but now it shows no pictures but only a black screen with some noise (like tv noise). If I export it there is no movie, just black screen with noise.
Where seems to be the problem?
When I drop it into the sequence I can also change the scale of the image to fit the screen and that all seems ok... :/
I can even play a preview inside the premiere pro and it's almost ok (it's not a smooth playback, but it plays as it should...tough it drops some frames).

Welcome to the forum.
When Still Images show as black, the first things that I investigate is the pixel x pixel dimensions of the images. With many Stills, even if they are within the allowed pixel x pixel range, one's computer's resources can be used up, and an alternate workflow might be useful - Scale the Images to match the Frame Size of the Sequence, prior to Import, in a program, like Photoshop. This ARTICLE might be helpful.
The second thought is that the video driver is no longer performing properly, and needs to be updated. What is make/model of your graphics card, and what is the current number/date of your installed video driver?
Good luck,
Hunt

Time Lapse capture within Final Cut

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to do live capture and time lapse with final cut. For example, if I had my camera plugged into my computer, is it possible to use final cut or something to capture the footage and set an interval time. Hope there is.
Nathan.

Sorry, there isn't.

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!
