How to Make Time Lapse Video Using Panning and Long Exposure

[@prashantnz]

Fantastic , thanks heaps.

[@Mackymcd]

Wow, just found your channel, can't wait to watch the videos! Wishing to learn to create better time lapse vids

[@j1will]

Thanks for the idea of long exposure time-lapse. I've not tried one yet, but will do. Relative to the post processing portion, I don't know the statistics, but I'll bet that most photographers who even engage in time-lapse work don't have Adobe Premier Pro, I don't have Premier Pro, but do have LR Timelapse and also Cyberlink Powerdirector to save the money of the full Adobe suite, but I believe that what you show in this video can also be done easily in Photoshop CC, which is what the vast majority of photographers do have.

[@SyrpLab]

Photoshop is a great tool for compiling timelapses as well! we made a specific tutorial about it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i17Hf5uDr9-dpc0

Thanks Sam.

What are the ultimate best settings for a smooth fluid pan? I keep hearing so many differing thoughts on this but surely there must be one definitive answer that gets a smooth fluid pan with jerkiness or judder.

[@Sevphotography]

It is using frame Sampling crates smooth pan time lapse and that in Premiere and a shorter interval. More images the smoother it is and you can mess with time mapping after to get the desired effect. This will push the best computers to the max.

[@Sevphotography]

in After effect the cc motion blur helps but it a combo of these depending on the time lapse you have etc.

[@PauliePizza]

I was confused on what would happen if the intervals is quicker then the shutter speed but I think you answered it thanks,

[@SyrpLab]

if your internal is too small for the shutter speed then your timelapse will be jerky becasue it's not able to take a shot at a consistent interval so with an interval of 2s and a shutter at 2.2s you would end up with shots taken and random intervals.

[@voederbietels]

fantastic revieuw. i have one question how the syrp mini knows you have a 2 second exposure ? or how you set the time in the mini ,becous you dont want that the mini moves on in the middle of taking a picture.

[@SyrpLab]

Hi there, you just need to set your interval for longer than 2 secs e.g. 3 secs. This will allow enough time for the camera to take a sec exposure then move to the next step. Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

[@voederbietels]

got it ! thnkz for your helpfull reply .

[@NativeEarthlingAI]

Trying to use with a Sony A7rII with the supplied Syrp cable in Time Lapse mode. What triggers the camera shutter? First test had the Genie move but with no images taken.

[@SyrpLab]

Hi, make sure the Auto Focus is switched OFF (MF only) and that you have turned off Image Review. Email [e-mail] for a full list of troubleshooting this issue. There are a number of things to check for successful triggering. Thanks

[@freestonedoug]

Continuous shooting mode needs to be turned on - at least that was the fix I found for my a7r3. It's a shame syrp can't communicate with Sony camera's better and change things like ISO and exposure on the fly in the app. This would be great for light to dark scenarios. Kind of seems strange that it hasn't been implemented yet, considering the a7r3 has WiFi, Bluetooth and USB C connections.

[@shelekhov]

SOOO much planning for such SOSO result. Well at least he enjoys the process ;) To spend so much time analyzing and then pan in a direction opposite to clouds movement is just ironic ;)

[@MichaelCushmanPhotographer]

I never see anyone showing when the app doesn't work correctly. I should make a video showing that. Maybe Syrp will finally fix all of the problems in the app if I do that.

[@christosspanos6248]

Michael Cushman and most of the times that's the case! I guess syrp doesn't care for support and solutions. At least their responses on my emails shows that, blaming the Bluetooth of my devices for bad connection or disconnection.

[@MichaelCushmanPhotographer]

Christos Spanos I don't see how bad connections cause the mini to spin in the opposite direction, or tilt into the red zone (even though they say they fixed that). That is bad code on their end. They should re-write the program from the bottom up.

[@SyrpLab]

Hi guys, firstly big apologies for issues you are having with the app, in fact your comment about re-writing from the bottom up is exactly what we have been doing. Some of the issues we've had with the current release we're finding extremely difficult to replicate consistently which is making it near impossible to fix the way the current app is structured. Instead we have opted for a more robust long term solution that we have been working on for months. We definitely feel your pain and some of the issues are also frustrating for us when we are out filming. If you're interested we can sign you up to our beta program for testing the new developments we've been working on, if you email [e-mail] we can arrange that. Thanks

[@sinjon]

I’m confused how you determine your recording time

[@SyrpLab]

Hey Noel - in the tutorial, Sam's setting his Interval first, determined by the look he's going for (shutterspeed). If you look closely, as Sam's changing the Record Time, his Play Time is changing accordingly. He could have also changed the Play Time, and this would have automatically increased the Record Time to suit the Interval he's already set. The Genie Mini and Syrp Genie App work it out for you - all you need to do is work out how long you want your Interval and then choose how long you want your final time-lapse to be.

[@kalelissuperman]

Is there another way without lrtime lapse, dude it cos €100 to buy basic license. Thanks

[@vk4vsp]

You don't need to buy LRTimelapse. The free version works fine, it just limits you to 300 images per timelapse.

[@that_one_guy117x]

Try downloading interval I use that it’s pretty good

[@orion2250]

Photographers ephemeris is one app

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

Great tutorial, not a very good example..... as in not much happening movement wise. 👍🏻

[@stephendeese97]

That is exactly what I was about to type!

[@jacobpjohnson]

whats with the changing audio quality... switching microphones all the time? That and the music throughout seemed odd. Otherwise it was an ok video

[@Sepp2009]

it freaks me out that most of your horizons aren't level

[@cutetoysburn9061]

tutorial is good. But PANNING, in like 60% of the time SUCKS, everytime.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

@@barandcross In video generally, the exposure duration should be 1/2 the frame rate, aka 180 degree shutter. Sam lucked on that here. The shooting interval depends on the amount of subject movement and the angle of field in the final images.

[@toatsmaagoats]

What camera did he say he was using? Did he say Nikon D810? That accent 😬😬

[@SyrpLab]

The camera used is the Nikon D810. :)

[@oneeyedphotographer]

@@SyrpLab The camera onscreen was a D800.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

The accent is standard Kiwi.

[@paulmorrall5719]

Good review but you say you’re going to be using a D810 but instead you are using a D800 which don’t give the same quality in the areas you stated.

[@boardriderz]

There is very little difference between The D800 and the D810 in terms of image quality, there are some differences in functionality, AF and video settings, but nothing that would be of notice here.
