Never seen a video like that before! thanks! I am 33 and born with computer first time i hit the ring bell button!

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

Awesome! Thanks for your support Numan!

[@paulaoakes3566]

Thanks so much...All I wanted was a simple process and explanation...very clear presentation!!

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

Thanks so much for watching Paula!

[@michaelkelleher714]

Best time lapse intro / tutorial on here. Thanks very much for the presets. Very very helpful. On the ball. To the point. Understandable. Not going overboard. Don't need this, don't need that. I love it. Thank you so much Scott.

This is the best video about how to make a timelapse in lightroom! I don't need explainations about how to edit the pictures, simply this is what I was looking for! Thanks a lot :)

[@HaroldCundal]

If you want to skip the post processing and go straight to the timelapse build: 9:15.

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

Great comment! Ill put this in the description.

[@HaroldCundal]

Great video, btw! I still refer back to this. haha

[@NYATLHYD]

This is the best video for Lightroom time lapse video. Excellent job easy workflow, can't stress enough how good this video is. Thank you so much.

Wow, thanks!

Why is this channel so underrated!!!??? You deserve much more than this mate...

[@TravelisToLive]

seriously man ,i agree !

[@gnashings]

Yes! That, exactly! Are people allergic to articulate, thoughtful and well presented information?

[@gnashings]

I realize now these videos are old. And I've definitely been a KZbin user regularly when they were new, and photography content is definitely something I "consume" regularly, so... Why KZbin? Why did your algo just show me these now? For all the garbage in this space that gets recommended to me daily...

i gave up making timelapses and hyperlapses using after effects, premier pro and filmhit...with this tutorial i was able to make timelapse and hyperlapse without any confusion, hiccups....thank you and more power to you.

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

Great to hear!

[@johntisbury]

Great video. A very minor point, most Nikon's have a built in intervalometer / remote timer in the menus so you don't really need to purchase an external one - more savings! :-)

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

You are correct John, the intervalometer built into Nikons and some Canons will work up to 30 seconds in most cases, anything in Bulb mode will require a separate intervalometer however.

[@noelblondel5227]

[@grammolife7162]

Thank you for the video. I want a template for vertical composition I. e. 9:16. Can you share a link for this??

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

Lightroom only allows for horizontal compositions. You could crop the sides to "make" it look vertical in the slideshow options on the right panel, but the video will still remain horizontal. There is no way (that I'm aware of) to export a vertical video

[@olenielsen6525]

[@mzshan79]

Thanks, This is what I was hoping for, Something super simple (family travel projects), however, are there additional frame rates available? To possibly do 60fps or even to slow motion??

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

Thanks for watching, but sadly Lightroom only allows for export at 30fps. Photoshop does allow for this though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3bbdaOOiZZ2d5o

[@mzshan79]

@@DenimSuitPhoto thanks, yah I don’t think I’ll be investing in photoshop, will work with 30 fps

[@yftachelk]

Thank you Scott !! any chance for another FPS ( higher) templates for Lightroom ? above 29FPS ? thank you

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

That really wouldnt work. Lightroom ONLY exports videos at 30fps. So the templates are kind of a hack. If you use the 24fps template and export it, the ACTUAL framerate should still be 30fps, as thats all Lightroom is allowed to do. For a more comprehensive suite of options, you should try Photoshop. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3bbdaOOiZZ2d5o

[@mrsleavins]

Love how you explained and also walked through the process by showing. Not just telling! Thank you so much

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

Hey Scott, I am late to this video so maybe LR CC Classic is different, but I get an error message: the presets are "the wrong type of preset." Here is a copy of one of your presets I am trying to import: 23.97fps Timelapse.lrtemplate

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

Dont use the 23.97 preset, I think I already may have deleted it from the package. Just use 24 instead. Remember that this doesnt actually apply to the framerate being exported by LR. LR will ONLY export your movie at 30fps.

[@bulldogstrut1]

You are awesome, Scot. I can't thank you enough.

Thanks Henry!

I downloaded the template files and did just as you said. I created a video at 24fps. Despite no dark images, my timelapse video has a flicker. I can't figure out what might've gone wrong.

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

This occasionally happens to some people with various templates. I cannot recreate the bug, but my advice would be to try a different template like 23.97 one

Thanks for your nice tutorial and the presets! But I'm still stuck to one point : I cannot find how to export a "portrait time-lapse" with portrait pictures (instead of landscape format) : 9:16 instead of 16:9. Is it possible to do such thing in Lightroom ? Can you help me ? Thanks :)

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

Alexis Feutry sorry, lightroom can only output landscape videos. Photoshop is what you’d have to use to do portrait videos. But I have a video on that!

Scott, Any chance of getting an xmp version of these presets for current versions of Lightroom Classic?

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

Remember that these aren't technically presets, they are .lrtemplate files which means they will work with any version of lightroom classic

[@jolebole-yt]

Great guide! Worked great for me. How we, the people from the future (2020) can get a 4k template for the same process? Thanks.

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

Glad it helped! 4K is not possible with LR. Can only be done (currently) in Photoshop.

[@nrlondon7959]

Just saw your video for the first time. It is an awesome video. I have been using Lightroom for creating basic timelapse video. Would you know if there is an export preset for 4K?

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

There is not, sadly. Lightroom only supports HD export. If you want 4K UHD you will to use Photoshop or something else.

Hi, i hope you reply but i accidentally shot my timelapse on shutter priority and for some of the photos within the interval are overposed is there anyway to retrieve the highlights back or do i have to manually adjust each and every photo in lightroom for perfect exposure ? I really hope you reply because im currently working on a project. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@psoon04286]

Hello Scott, very interesting guide on building a timelapse video from scratch. After downloading the templates as instructed I gave it a try on a set of 275 DNG files captured by my Mini 3 Pro. LR is taking an extremely long time to process the preview taking about 15 mins per slide!! Should I convert the raw files into JPG first? I selected all, then switch over to the Slideshow module, applied the 20.97FPS template and hit the preview button. By the time I decided to drop a line here its done only 3 slides. Its going to be a long, long wait just for the preview to be ready. I'm using the latest version of LR Classic on a M1 Mac Mini. Any thoughts?

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

Yup. You have the right idea. Export as jpeg, reimport and try again.

[@roberthigaki2282]

which app can open the template files?

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

You import them into Lightroom Classic. You cannot open them in any program, unless you want to change the template, and then any simple text editor will work.

[@Saleens718]

yes but you have to do it individually frame by frame. theres no way to sync the overall brightness of photos in lightroom. in order to do what youre asking for automatically you need something like lrtimelapse.com/

Thank you very much for this amazing video. This help me a lot. Have you any tutorial video where is explaining how to do cropping if you make panning or tilt on your timelapse?

[@Lapivana]

Or should I do that in camera settings?

[@DenimSuitPhoto]

Unfortunately if you want to use Lightroom to compile and export your timelapse, you cannot. Lightroom only exports timelapses in 1080p. So you would need Photoshop or Premiere to work with the whole pictures you took for the timelapse. Lightroom just automatically downsizes the images to 1080p.
