Try free. How to shoot a time-lapse video? Originally, he estimated some fancy algorithmic trickery that would balance the frame rate against observed motion due to Apple's claim of "dynamically selected intervals" in their press materials, but what he found was surprising, and quite a bit simpler than his estimation.
In a nutshell, he determined through testing that the iPhone's time-lapse feature merely doubled the time-lapse speed and halved the frame capture rate each time the recording period doubled past the 10 minute mark. According to his findings, time-lapse starts out capturing two frames a second, but after 10 minutes it drops to one frame a second, deletes every other previous frame, and doubles the speed from 15x to 30x. After 20 minutes, time-lapse drops to one frame every two seconds, deletes every other previous frame, and doubles the speed from 30x to 60x.
After 40 minutes, time-lapse drops to one frame every four seconds, deletes every other previous frame, and doubles the speed from 60x to x. After 80 minutes, time-lapse drops to one frame every eight seconds, deletes every other previous frame, and doubles the speed from x to x, where it stays until you run out of space -- Apple claims up to 30 hours of recording.
It's an ingenious solution, if only in its simplicity, but it means that if you want a specific speed, feel or smoothness, you'll have to plan out your recording time to fit the creative goals at hand. Unfortunately, that's rather difficult, and it's why most approach time-lapse in a give-it-a-shot-and-see-if-it-works kind of way. If it doesn't, you know, work, try again until you get something you like. But there's a better way. With a true iPhone time-lapse app such as Frameographer or Instagram's Hyperlapse , you're much more likely to get repeatable, controllable results that you can actually work with, not a hope-and-pray approach that's more reliant on serendipity than anything else.
So if you're still using your iPhone's native time-lapse feature, give some other options a try. With increased flexibility, you'll likely be able to make better time-lapse videos in no time at all.
Imagine being in the garden and wanting to take some interesting b-roll footage of your plants and flowers, or shooting a video of yourself making a cup of tea and waiting for it to steep While these might sound like boring scenes, when sped up in a "time-lapse", they go from mundane to incredibly interesting.
Unlike shooting a time-lapse with a traditional camera, shooting with an iPhone means that all the preparation is done for you behind the scenes. When you choose Time-lapse mode on your iPhone, it will automatically shoot your scene at 1—2 frames per second, depending on how long you choose to shoot for. Most time-lapse recordings on iPhone play back in 20—40 seconds, regardless of how long you shoot.
When played back, this results in a final video that is 15x normal speed. Your final video will now be 30x normal speed. The more footage you shoot, the more your frame rate will drop, and the faster your final video will become. Now for the fun part — getting out and shooting your own time-lapse videos with your iPhone.
The more you create, the better your time-lapse videos will become. Time-lapse videos work best when you are shooting a slow-moving scene, like the change from day to night or a flower opening up to the sun.
You can also get creative with your time-lapse videos by shooting street scenes with crowds of people, traffic at a busy intersection, or a DIY project at home.
No matter what you choose as your subject matter for your next time-lapse, here are some tips to make it better:.
