VIEWING TIME LAPSE (cont.)
To turn photo sequences into Time Lapse Video
Reasons you may want to create a video with your images:
• Makes it easier to e-mail your image sequences.
• Allows you to select the range of images you want included, to eliminate uninteresting images.
• Allows you to store the images as a video rather than a large number of images.
1. Download time lapse images to Time Lapse Software.
(see section on downloading images).
2. Click on File. You will see the screen image to the right.
3. Choose a starting image (frame) and an ending
image (frame). Note: The frame limit is 300.
4. Choose the frame rate. Options include 1, 5, 10, 20,
and 30 frames per second (fps).
Note: The frame rate says how many images of a video are displayed every second a video is
played. The higher frame rate a video has the smoother movement appears in the video. However,
a higher frame rate video will create a larger file and will require more memory.
5. Choose the video resolution:
Note: The higher the resolution, the sharper the image. However, higher resolutions create
a larger file and will require more memory. VGA (640x480) / 720p / 1080p
6. Choose frame filter: None, Low, Medium, or High.
7. Click on Save the Video As. Name the video and choose the location file folder you wish
to save it in.
8. Click Start Video Export. The program will start to convert the images to video based on the
settings chosen above. The green bars will advance until the conversion is complete.
Note: Click on Cancel to abort the transfer.
