This is a link of a video where thousands of pics are shown for a fraction of a second then played like a movie, what software does this? I have iMovie but the minimum duration is still way too long to get this effect. http://jalopnik.com/5608161/video-travel-3054-miles-in-four-minutes
Hi Noel - I'd do it the same way I do "time lapse". Use Quick Time (Pro version if you're on Windows) under file "create sequence" - just point it to the folder of files select the first image and compile into a movie. Every single image will become a frame, played back at whatever frame rate you choose in Quick Time (goes as low as 15 FPS to as high as 60 FPS). DONE. It's really that simple. I've done it several times not meaning to - pointed to a photo folder instead of the intended time lapse image folder. If you want more "lag time" between frames (15 FPS too fast), you can get creative and create 2 or 3 sequentially numbered frames that are the same photo, effectively "slowing things down" by having multiple frames in a row of the same image. VERY easy to do. Let me know if you have questions. Here's one of my time lapse's I've done exactly this way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cumRyIYshIQ (LOTS of post-processing after the Quick Time sequence, but the raw frames would be pretty good without it) Could have easily been a long string of family photos rather than time lapse frames - the software doesn't care. Jedi [edit] update - just watched that video you posted - that's just regular time lapse, with images every 30 seconds. To do time lapse, you'll need camera control as well as the above techniques. I use two: Granite Bay Time Lapse for computer control of my older Canon G2, and a gizmo called Pclix (Google that name) on my Nikon SLR. This generates the raw frame sequence that you then process as above in Quick Time (Pro if on Windows - regular QT doesn't do sequencing)
One of my friends just posted this last night. He's on a trip to Seattle right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y41uc2rRuYY
I already have the images, I just can't figure out how to time lapse them properly. Jedi, I went into quicktime and didn't see the options that you instructed...can you be more specific?
looks like older quicktimes can do it like you said, but I have quicktime 10, which is a little different....and therefore not the same.
So future readers of this thread see the resolution: Jedi had it right..you need QuickTime Pro, if you have it, just do what Jedi said above.
I'm not at my Mac right now - but QT 10 and all previous QT versions for Mac can do this. NOT on Windows though - you need to purchase "QT Pro" ($29) to do the sequencing on Windows. I'll post later when I'm back in the office and at my mac and give you more specific directions. It's really a piece of cake... talk to you soon Jedi
Below is the screen cap from Quick Time Pro... note that this is NOT the same as just plain old Quick Time Player. You have to buy it. I THOUGHT it was included with Mac OS but turns out I actually bought the upgrade for both Mac and PC. You can buy it here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D3380Z/A The option is called "Open Image Sequence" under "File". You then point to the first image in the sequence. It may take a LONG time to build the file if you have a lot of files! You can set the frame rate of between 15 FPS up to 60 FPS depending on what effect you want and the final viewing speed you wish to have. Once it's done, you'll get a HUGE Quick Time video screen. Then on that window go to File and "export" to a format that you want. I just use NTSC/DV as it works with all the various post-processing software I use. Jedi Image Unavailable, Please Login
My favorite of this style is the song at th end of "Six Feet Under". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghPcYqn0p4Y or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNwARV9tPUw Did this make you cry or what.
