[@wolfangdigital]

Thanks for your kind review. We are happy to help. All the best on your road trip!

[@Ray-uc8ij]

Lol me watching your video 10 years later to see how time-lapse on my sony action cam looks like. I don't use it in any professional sense, but I like to use when making some instructional youtube videos.

[@transportvlogs2841]

Very good video! Whats the modular arm that support the Sony Action Cam?

[@wolfangdigital]

TrainAutovideos sorry for our late reply. That's a friction arm from Kamerar.

[@transportvlogs2841]

from ebay?

[@wolfangdigital]

TrainAutovideos here you go: kamerar.com/products/11-tough-friction-arm

[@transportvlogs2841]

Cheers! Mate!

[@TheSkyPod]

+WolFang Digital What kind of mount is that holding the camera to the friction arm?

[@noitnova]

When you connect it to a external battery you can make very large time-lapse movies

[@adriancastaneda9969]

+Noirnova Like the batteries used to charge phones?

[@wolfangdigital]

+Adrián Castañeda yes the USB type power banks.

[@noitnova]

***** Yes like that i can take a time lapse for 1 day.

[@rrvvelasquez6155]

[@redrider54321]

Hello i hope you are well, thanks for the video it was very helpful. can you help me with something? i know very little about photography, i have bought a sony camcorder, HDR-SR7E, do you know if my camera has time lapse function?

[@wolfangdigital]

+redrider54321 thanks for your kind review. In general video cameras don't come with timelapse features.

[@bmfbonny1696]

Again very well explained! Your videos are awesome!! 😊

[@wolfangdigital]

BMF BONNY thank you for the encouragement!

[@RT038]

Thankyou i have the white model what editing software did you use to edit the video !!

[@wolfangdigital]

I use FCP X

[@neoxenom]

Hello very good and helpful video but I have a question: which logiciel do you use in order to combine all the photos ? Thanks !!!

[@wolfangdigital]

+Néo Xénom thanks for your kind comments. We used Final Cut Pro X

[@RealLifeEddy2K]

Wowww, that's f'ing great. Thanks!

[@rafalcisek]

As an outcome you got thousands of still fotos to combine in a laps-time in a sort of software, or the camera is capable of giving you a ready to use movie?

[@europachallenge]

camera only gives you the photos, you have to use an editing software

[@Norakoiram]

ery helpful pal! But how do you combine all the pics together? Used Action Cam Creator?

[@wolfangdigital]

Mario Kay I used Adobe After Effects

[@joseesquivel20]

Hi, nice video,but what software did you use to put all the photos for one video

[@wolfangdigital]

+Alfredo Esquivel we used Adobe After Effects. You can also use Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro X

[@vivianbailo8925]

how can i do it with the HDR-AZ1?

[@letmebelieveyou]

thank you so much !!

[@landsgraphermobilestudiolm5472]

How many MP does the timelapse mode provide? Is it full resolution?

[@fatehfatoni1160]

Can i know what apps do u use for combine all the picture. I'm using gopro apps (im using gopro before) on my pc to combine my time lapse picture taken by sony action cam, but the result is totally out. Picture is not in HD quality. Do i need to setup what quality for time lapse picture on cam device? And if yes, how? Thanx.

[@wolfangdigital]

+Mohd Fateh we use Final Cut Pro X but other programs that work include PremierePro and After Effects. As I know, there is no option to set picture quality for Timelapse on Action Cam

[@chungxa1]

How long is the battery when taking time lapse videos? Can we use an extended supply while working with it?

[@wolfangdigital]

Hi, the battery will last about 1 hour. Which model Action Cam are you using?

[@VelhaGuardaTricolor]

What editing software have you used?

[@wolfangdigital]

Velha Guarda Tricolor We used Final Cut Pro X to edit this video.

[@MysticDonBlair]

How long does the battery last in slow motion?

[@MuhammadIkhwan95]

Are yoi using sony actioncam apps to combine all the lapse pictures?

[@wolfangdigital]

I use Final Cut Pro X - Baron

[@trahert]

Que software puedo usar para hacer el video con las fotos ?

[@DavidGabriel-oc2jf]

tienes essa explication em português como hacer no photoshop falandodefoto.com.br/time-lapse-com-photoshop/

[@cweinzierl]

Hi.. I need to know how to find the arm that you put de action cam on the tripod.. can You help me. thank's...

[@wolfangdigital]

Cristian Weinzierl go eBay or Amazon and look for Friction Arm

[@sayedthaamir]

Which is this place..!?

[@philippines-almostparadise5782]

How many minutes can you shoot time lapse? I have Sony FDR-X1000V and after a few hours the battery is dead? I had set in for 60 second intervals. I would like to do a morning to night shoot, how would one do that?

[@wolfangdigital]

You will need to connect a power bank to your Action Cam to give it more power to last through the timelapse

[@untitled8513]

I tried to do a time lapse with my as20 but the images are blurry. I did it without the waterproof case. do you think if I turn off the steady shot would be better?

[@wolfangdigital]

No, I don't think turning off Steady Shot would help. Did you put your camera on a stable surface during the time lapse?

[@untitled8513]

WolFang Digital yeah it was on a tripod without the front cover the videos looks good but when I try to do time lapse just looks horrible. not like the others with the same model of camera

[@wolfangdigital]

Can I have a look at the video? You got it on KZbin?

[@untitled8513]

WolFang Digital video of the time lapse?

[@wolfangdigital]

el viejo del costal yes can I have a look at your video so I can see what went wrong

[@nurulamalya6121]

Hi, I want to ask you use what software to edit the shot? tq

[@wolfangdigital]

Nurul Amalya try using Action Cam Movie Maker. Works on Mac and PC and it's FREE

[@sawyer081290]

What settings when you render that video?

[@wolfangdigital]

1280 X 720 @ 25p

[@pedrofreirerj]

Como faço para revisar as imagens?

[@papaysma]

what video editing software you used for this?

[@wolfangdigital]

Final Cut Pro X

[@akidobos]

I use Virtual Dub. It's free ;) I made all my timelapses with it.

[@PuteriBuntalStory]

and will your camera get heaty very fast?

[@wolfangdigital]

+Miss Vee (techNfood) you mean the ActionCam? No it has not overheat before...

[@PuteriBuntalStory]

cause when i use wifi its a lil bit heaty

[@wolfangdigital]

Well as long as it doesn't overheat then you're ok

[@RealLifeEddy2K]

+Miss Vee (techNfood) why do you keep saying heaty?

[@cha2867]

awesome videos.. very helpful for newbies like me.. :)

[@wolfangdigital]

Charisse May Lagahid thanks for your kind comments :)

[@mequu3971]

Does this camera work for KZbin VIDEOS ?

[@wolfangdigital]

The Action Cam is perfect for sports and underwater diving videos. You can still use it to shoot KZbin videos but you might want to consider a Handycam like the Sony AX53

[@bragustine]

Hi WolFang Digital, I'm starting to learn doing timelapse with my as100v. I tried to silence the snapping sound every time I click for a shot but it doesn't disappear. So when I do the actual timelapse, I hear the successive snapping sound one after another. It's distracting. Is this normal? How do I silence it? Please advise. Thank you.

[@wolfangdigital]

Ron Agustin did you get the sound sorted out? Sorry for my late reply.

[@adriancastaneda9969]

+Ron Agustin Make sure you have the latest firmware for the camera, you can get it for free at the sony website, that firmware allows you to silence the shooter under "setup" go to "beep" and choose "off"

[@bragustine]

Thank you, sir. I'll have that done.

[@cha2867]

what's the best editing software for this.

[@wolfangdigital]

Sorry for our late reply. We feel the easiest software to use is either Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro.

[@Angel_Peg]

Thanks

[@PuteriBuntalStory]

can the battery door lock? cause mine cant be locked, pls help

[@wolfangdigital]

+Miss Vee (techNfood) I think you need to take it back to the shop to get it repaired while it's still under warranty.

[@kalmari8978]

I got this camera but im not sure is it waterproof :D

[@ZulaikaHernandez]

+Kalmari The camera itself is not, but if you have it in the case (you see it on his table with a yellow base) then it can go underwater. I am not sure at what depth, but we've used it for shooting on jet skis.

[@wolfangdigital]

+Zully Hernandez that's right if it's in the water resistant casing, you can take it to a depth of 5 meters/16 feet.

[@wolfangdigital]

+Kalmari if you put it into the basic water resistant casing, you can take it to a depth of 5 meters/16 feet.

[@zoeyyloves464]

How can you put on audio?

[@wolfangdigital]

use Action Cam Movie Creator www.sony.net/Products/actioncam/en-us/support/software/ActionCamMovieCreator.html

[@zanyzap4uall]

Hi, how to setup to stop taking lapse photo after 1 hour?

[@wolfangdigital]

Ritesh Singh I don't think there's a feature for that.

[@zanyzap4uall]

In the video I heard you mention that the camera is going to snap pictures for an hours, that kept me wondering how.

[@wolfangdigital]

We stopped the camera manually

[@zanyzap4uall]

Ok. Got it. Thanks. Your videos are very helpful. 😀👍🏻

[@wolfangdigital]

Ritesh Singh thanks so much for your encouragement. I'll try to make more videos!

[@noryandriwibowo2055]

how to play timelapse we already taken?

[@wolfangdigital]

+nory andri wibowo we are making a tutorial video about how to edit a timelapse video. You can use an editing program like FCP X to compile your timelapse and export them as a movie.

[@noryandriwibowo2055]

Thank you bro

[@hereticNick]

I ended up with hundreds of photos... not a video :(

[@wolfangdigital]

That’s normal for timelapse. We use an app to compile the photos into a video. Download the Action Cam app to do this OR you can use an editing software like FCP X here’s my tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpa0qYZud9apns0

[@damoonnouparvar719]
