Have you ever tried a holy grail timelapse??

[@CaseyGrimley]

Tried and failed. Now I know the secret to it. Thanks nerd

[@brandt_bennett]

I have not tried one, but I want to!

[@StringrPress]

We all have. Things has got easier. I use a insta360 one inch for star lapse. I use the Gopro 11 black for a holy grail Time-lapse. .

[@andycoleman2708]

It's so good to see you again on KZbin! This inspired me to try my first time lapse.

[@AdamDigitalPro]

Dude! I had no idea about this kind of workflow. Thanks man, much appreciated!

[@JonnyRay82]

You are a great teacher Nate! I really enjoyed the video.

[@bernhardwagner3156]

its great to see this video! I learned so much! thx!!!

[@alekszaborski]

Very cool explanation.. Thank you!

[@discoverianalvarez]

Thanks so much for this Nate. I just got an a6700 and im trying to learn all i can

[@williamdavidson1490]

The light trails from the car's lengthening sure looked cool as you slowed your shutter down near the end. Really looking forward to the next video in this series. Cheer's from Vancouver Canada.

[@SidneyPratt]

Well explained. Thanks.

[@jeffhellerman9256]

Perfect timing!!! I've been fighting with some flicker after using LrC only. Just downloaded LRT. Hopefully that will do the trick. Thanks!

[@colin8r]

Been waiting for this! Thanks dude! Looking forward to the holy grail one and any export settings would be appreciated!!!

[@woodsmaneh952]

This inspired me to get out there and do it!

[@PujicMafia]

Great video! Also, amazing audio in that wind in the intro 🤙

[@PujicMafia]

You climb on Nomics too, hell yeah!!

[@chasemadrid2819]

🙋🏻‍♂️You change the battery in between or power bank connected?

[@lucaswinke]

Awesome, thank you! ♥️ Have you already published the second video for milkyway holy grail Timelapse? Can't find it on our channel :/

[@SidneyPratt]

Thanks.

[@TimAndShannonLTD]

👍Excellent video - thanks for doing this! I'm looking for the next one you mention here: Full Holy Grail Daytime into Milky Way, but I don't see it on your channel. Are you still planning to do that?

[@brandt_bennett]

I would like to see a video on the settings you talk about at the end

[@bensupercharged2083]

15:24 got me like "MADE IN HEAVEN"

[@certeez]

Hello, great work ! What metering mode did you use?

[@timeinnmotion]

NICE VIDEO

[@afjk13]

Hi Nate, did you make the part 2 video? Can’t see it on your videos.

[@IvoPavlik]

Nice! Do you keep your display on during the whole shooting session? That must drain battery like crazy.

[@TheAdventurePortal]

What happened to the day to night astro milky way tutorial you mention? I don't see is anywhere on your channel?

[@michaelmckeag960]

You didn’t demonstrate the LRTimelapse importer, perhaps deliberately to focus on the core steps, but I’ve certainly found it a great convenience that also helps with keeping organized. Release pause, continue viewing…

[@sandrotsomaia7332]

nice vid

[@user-yh9yj7to1u]

how did you set your interval priority on or off?

[@bothhemispheresphotography5031]

I was bitten by the "adjust aperture" mistake early in my career, once on an epic day to milky way to day sequence. I spent about 20 hours trying to smooth the vignettes in photoshop, but never was satisfied, aargh. But, that said, a physical de-clicked aperture ring is doable as a holy grail exposure tool (if you make _tiny_ movements). Especially if it has teeth, and you can control it with a follow focus setup (less chance of camera wiggle when making changes).

[@BigPhilipUK]

For some reason your video came up on my timeline despite me not being a timelapse man but watched and thoroughly enjoyed it and will probable have a go now myself. One thing that I did think was great was the light trails as it got darker when the shutter speeds got longer as opposed to them looking more like flashes in the earlier part of the timelapse and it got me wondering if you could use a variable ND filter for the lighter part at the start and dial back as it gets darker thus giving more consistency to the light trails. Or am I just being stupid and over complicating things says the man who's never done a timelapse before.

[@Nateinthewild]

No you’re absolutely correct! That would be the “better” way to do it, but I didn’t want to over-complicate an intro video. There’s something fun about the change from staccato to long car trails though, so I kinda like both versions.

[@BigPhilipUK]

@@Nateinthewild it wasn’t a criticism I thought the video was great, I guess my stills photographer brain kicked in! I need to give this a go rather than just treating my camera as just something for stills photos.

[@Nateinthewild]

@@BigPhilipUK No offense taken, my friend! I completely agree with you :)

[@The_Daliban]

Thank you for the in depth info🙏 Is there a reason why you picked 8 seconds as the interval and are there any hard rules? What do you go by when deciding for interval duration? keep it up🙌

[@Nateinthewild]

Different intervals will yield different results! Here's my big timelapse video with more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXeXkHx5lNSYpLc

[@The_Daliban]

@@Nateinthewild oh wow thanks for the quick reply🙏🏻 Gonna watch that now.

[@steveloudon7491]

After you edited the first keyframed image you only synced it to the next image. I think the proper workflow is to sync the changes to all of the remaining images. Then do the same as you move from image to image.

[@Nateinthewild]

That is how LRTimelapse recommends you sync the images, but it's not my preferred workflow. Unfortunately, LRT tends to be a little buggy at times, and I've found much better results going one keyframe at a time.

[@steveloudon7491]

@@Nateinthewild ok. Thanks

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

Where is the next video? The holy grail milkyway one?

[@JellyTheDong]

Did you have the next video?

[@bdv6083]

What happened to the next video mentioned?

[@michaelfrymus]

Is this still the best method for timelapse? Or is there an easier/faster method now

[@IvoPavlik]

You can use your smartphone to create lazy time lapse videos these days 🤷🏻

[@michaelfrymus]

@@IvoPavlik no

[@IvoPavlik]

@@michaelfrymus u sure?
