GoPro Star Astro Photography HOW TO DO IT!

[@MrBlackReviews]

hey incase you are wondering where the PLUS SIGN went for custom presets... I FOUND IT! check this out kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXqTgp-Grc6bp9U

[@evanwjenkins]

I’ve watched about 15 GoPro night lapse videos in the past five days and this is the one that has been most helpful! Even with the GoPro 11. Thank you so much!

[@foxtailmedia8189]

I’ve always color corrected one pic and copied those attributes, then paste those attributes to all photos. I’ve never even considered creating a compound clip! Brilliant!!

[@roderunner101]

Thank you as a new gopro9 owner this is just what I needed to capture time-lapse star photography

[@NomadicBeardyman]

Dude you got right to the point and showed me exactly what I wanted to see. I shoot astro on my a7iii so I know more than the basics I just wanted to see settings and what I could reasonably expect on a hero 9. Thank you . Subscribed

[@joyboycowboy]

YES! Quick video packed with info and a disclaimer for if you just want the settings. This is how it should be, Thank you

[@MrBlackReviews]

Thanks egermen. I know how it is… sifting through vids to get those settings it kills me too hah. I appreciate you stopping by :)

[@JackMihoff6969]

What software did you use to edit the photos in macOS? Can I use Lightroom or Affinity Photo for iPad for the batch edit you did? Thank you!

[@Padauz_]

Highly appreciated now time to test these

[@thomashawker]

Great video! Can you please also explain what program you are using to make the video? You dont say and I have no idea! If you can make a reco, I use win10. Thanks!

[@NicoleLenze337]

omg thank you!!! FINALLY a video that shows EVERY step!

[@kurt407]

I wish you could costume the labels on your presets. I have like 3 setting for shootings on the beach.. all label outdoor.. 🤷‍♀️

[@MrBlackReviews]

I really wish gopro would allow custom names for these instead of their weird selection of names lol

[@AdventuresofAwesomeJoe]

Wow best video out there. Straight to the point. No time wasted.

[@geniunewine]

Beautiful mate

Thank you 👍

[@tuberousername]

Great tutorial. Thanks! May i ask how much time it will consume capturing the whole Timelapse. How much space and battery i may need?

Do you recommend a gopro for a night concert? (Photos and videos)

[@andrewround4972]

Great ideas Dude 🙏👍👌🏻😉

[@DroneKingsInDarwin]

Now I got to try the night lapse again. Thanks for this. One question - what settings do you use for a evening video. Wanting to go and film around dusk/dark. (Maybe new video idea?)

[@MrBlackReviews]

Yup! Great idea! I’ll add that to my list :)

[@apamtv]

Great video Danny Black!

[@MrBlackReviews]

thanks A-Town i appreciate you stopping by :)

@@MrBlackReviews Your very much welcomed! I purchase the GoPro 3-way 2.0 and the Telesin Smart tracking pan tilt right after watching your videos thank you!

[@AstroSeabee]

Questions. I don’t have a go pro I normally use a DSLR. Will a dew heater keep the Len lens clear. You said it only last 3 hours does it have an option for external power like a Jackery or a brick usb battery? What model of GoPro is this?

[@noobstreamer1220]

Wow! Goosebumps!

[@QuanTranVisuals]

Great tutorial. Short, simple, super clear to the point.

[@Jason_Barnes]

What fov is best? Also best tutorial out there that works

[@Mattyworshipmedia]

Hey what movie maker did u used to do that can you let me know :) super keen to do this

[@daveappleton1430]

This is very well done. Ive had problems with dew on the lens with other cams. Any tips? Also, does the standard battery last with these settings?

[@ITSHProductions]

What program are you using on the computer? I have Premiere Pro CC Doing the compound portion, threw me off.

[@MrBlackReviews]

I think PP has a similar compound clip thing, I don’t know what it’s called (I’m using final cut)

[@avender93]

Random Question 1 year later lol: I'm also using Premiere, and it wont import my RAW photos so I'm just importing the JPEGS.. any chance if you remember if there is a way to import the RAW photos?

[@jag4762]

Hi, great straight to the point video. Looks like you used Final Cut Pro for editing?

[@PANOYT]

Hey how long are you running your timelapse for ? If the battery dies while its shooting was your footage ok? Great video thanks for posting this!

[@feeo4609]

Awesome thanks heaps. Can you suggest a book type arm that I could attach to my caravan to have car in view at higher speeds as will be on some freeways so want to ensure won’t lose it. Going to try this lapse whilst away thanks heaps (from Australia)

[@RunningAlive]

Nice info and very helpful. I’ve got 2 questions from it: 1. Did you have to convert the GPR files into another format to use in Final Cut? 2. Why do you set the duration of each pic to 2 frames instead of 1 frame? Very helpful overall 👌

[@MrBlackReviews]

Hi. Thanks so much for the comment. I actually didn’t have to convert the files at all. It went straight into fcp like I did in the video. I picked 2 frames because it seems to flow a little better than 1 frame, but you are welcome to try it if you think the result is better :)

[@cliffordpereira1189]

@@MrBlackReviews can you also tell us the software that you used for post processing?

[@MrBlackReviews]

@@cliffordpereira1189 i just put this into Final Cut Pro but i believe this same concept will work any other editing software, even some free ones. which might be a good future video :)

[@byhilliard]

Good video. This one vid got my subscription.

[@ReukwonTheChef]

Thanks for the video! Definitely easy to follow. Do you have any tips for how to capture a day to night time lapse while also sustaining the best settings to still capture the stars? I’m going camping this weekend and bought the GoPro 9 hero black beforehand with this goal in mind.

[@stewshore5508]

Thx. Great info clip for night shots…

[@abhishek7dbecks]

Noob question- what software did you use on the computer?

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Nice man. I always wondered how well the clarity came up afterwards. Really helpful.

[@MrBlackReviews]

Ya you should try it out! I actually want to get a bunch of Qld KZbinrs to do like a mt ngungun night climb for some star timelapses

[@ceyda872]

Hello there. i have gopro 9. I love night time shots. especially star shots. This device gives me peace and an incredible image, but when I make the video format "photo", on which program can I convert them to video, please? This is very important for me.

[@AnthonyJoh]

How long do you have to shoot to capture the movement of the stars? I'm not referring to star trails but showing the rotation of the earth?

[@AmorsAverageAdventures]

I'm not sure if you're still looking for an answer, but it would depend on how long you would want your final video to be. If you want it to be maybe just a few seconds, like around 5-10 seconds of video, you'd wanna shoot maybe around 60 minutes of photos. If you want it to be a longer video, like say 30 seconds to maybe a couple minutes you'd have to shoot at LEAST 4-5 HOURS of photo. And also it depends on how many photos per second you'd have it set to. If you're gonna be capturing photos for a few hours, you'd want to have your GoPro connected to power with an actual cable plugged into an outlet or maybe power bank, otherwise the battery would die before you'd get a decent length of video. I hope this was helpful.

[@norahk1656]

what's the tool / app that u used , to import photos and create a vid ?

[@christiansimmons630]

Love this! When you’d at use photo instead of video as you get clearer footage, how much of a difference?

[@WeiseGuy91]

How do you make a video from the photos in premiere pro?

[@Sabarish78]

hi, what setting to change , if we r taking from a moving object (For eg, taking Night lapse photo, on a Ship)

[@SGirardphotography]

How do you make sure the video is not over 2-3 min ? I would think by setting it to auto interval you wouldn’t have control of how long the video is. Thank you

[@kwesatheartist9794]

Will these settings work for the max 360?

[@MrBlackReviews]

I dont have the max but i just asked a friend and they said yes.. it has protune which you can set and it has timelapse mode.. not sure if it is photo timelapse but for sure video, thanks for commenting.

[@jared7521]

What setting would work for the gopro hero 10

How much storage does a time laps need on your settings? I search for SD Cards and I dont want to buy one that is to small.

[@alandsofairandbright]

What program are u using?

[@Padre-Nikard]

For GoPro 10 settings time-lapse?

[@skatzz121]

How long should one film for? My Go Pro App shows the number of shots but I’m not sure how many are required to create content like this

[@jbmiller6790]

I don't know if you are reading this comment section for this 2 year old video but... for both ISO Min and Max I don't have 1600, both only reaching 800. Any help would be nice since I am going to Hawaii with my dad on Wednesday August 2nd.

[@sillyzira]

In your areas, have less light pollution? I have tried to do on my terrace on the 7th Floor. But slightly there are stars. Not sure about Milky way.

[@MrBlackReviews]

check the setting i have (in the description) for when the moon is out... that might help a little better if there is more lights

[@sillyzira]

Thanks man. I'll try it out

[@meteolatvia]

Great video! 😉 Thanks a lot! Very useful information! 😊 P.S. If you want longer timelapse, you can plug in the GoPro USB cable in to the power bank or something else which gives power and leave it much longer! It will charge and capture at the same time! 😉

[@MrBlackReviews]

awesome! looking forward to seeing it

[@nicktranakas1985]

Nice video but why you choose raw format on settings and you imported the jpeg files into fcpx??

[@MrBlackReviews]

Great question. I’ll have to look into it. I’m not sure what I did there

[@vijayaditya380]

If there is too much light pollution especially in city, can I use a ND filter and will the camera still capture good ??

[@MrBlackReviews]

That’s a good question. I never thought to try that, I would just also try lowering the shutter speed

[@bigfellavideography]

while I can't find anything definitive in a search, an ND filter (no matter the grade, ie. 2/4/8/16, etc.) will always be like your gopro wearing sunglasses. think of what it's like to wear sunglasses at night. it'll very likely kill the light pollution, but also the subject matter (the sky/stars) as well. I've heard of people having success actually removing the lens altogether and just capturing with the gopro's 'eye' instead. pros and cons to that method - pro is you'll have less blocking your view to a pure shot and more light, but con is that there's less in the way to protect the insides of the camera, ie. incidental lens damage. 15sec lapse would do good for moderate light pollution, and give your image some foreground texture and detail.

[@BillyBanana75]

Thank you for this video, I tried these settings last night but the sky came out very blue almost like dusk but it was dark out, any suggestions? THANKS

[@MrBlackReviews]

it might have been a bright light or moon that could have blown it out. if you check the description i have a moon setting which is basically setting the shutter on 15s instead of 30s. that could help a lot... also, so sorry for the late reply, im just now trying to catch up on comments

[@aydarbanned]

thanks a lot!

[@daniellebothe7895]

@Dannyblack What program do you use to edit all the photos together?

[@MrBlackReviews]

I use Final Cut Pro, but you should be able to use any editing program in a similar way :)

[@xde1283]

How longs does the batter last for a full night shoot or a few hours of day to night?

[@MrBlackReviews]

it lasted about 3 and a half hours... but you can actually have it plugged in or power packs to get a lot longer

[@susangenius]

What software do I need to edit it?

[@mathiasensimon]

How do you prevent sun in the lens?

[@beachhouse5102]

please do more vids like this!

[@twistednerd23]

Nice!!

[@purvisjsp]

Which app did u use for editing??

[@MrBlackReviews]

I used Final Cut Pro for this, thanks for asking

[@Nat-sc8bu]

How long does it typically take to get these shots? I sey my gopro 9 on these exact settings and waited about 30 to and hour and only got one second of video. It was really frustrating, i tried both video and photo formats as well. Not sure why its only uploading a second? Maybe it needs to be left on for at least 5 hours?

[@jopeters]

It SHOULD be basic math. If you are doing a time lapse you need to consider how many FPS you want the final product to be. If you are targeting 24 FPS, then that means you need 24 images to create 1 second of smooth time lapse footage. If you have the camera set to capture an image every 30 seconds, and then only let it run for 30 minutes, that's going to give you 60 images, which will only give you 2 seconds of footage.

[@İsmailCanBushcraft]

Hi again, when I set the format as photo and transfer the image to my pc, I can't see it as a video like you did. how can i achieve this?

[@MrBlackReviews]

So I put it in a video editing software and set it to 2 frames per picture. And then exported it as a video .

[@TheKAVALAL]

How much space (gigabytes) on the sd card is required for a time lapse? Say for four hours, how many photos would the camera be able to capture in 4 hours?

[@MrBlackReviews]

i think for the almost 4 hours that i did it only took up like 3-4 GBs

[@BelfastBodger]

How do you change the interval to auto, when the option only says 5 seconds to 60 mins? Gopro 9.

[@MrBlackReviews]

I’m not sure there auto mode for photo timelapse. You pick your interval time depending on how fast you want the clip to go.
