[@adelmida9952]

[@wolfangdigital]

+mohamed adel mida thanks for your glowing review of our video! Yes you need a software for timelapse editing. I recommend Action Cam Movie Creator. It's Mac and PC and it's free! Have fun!

Where can I seek DIY help to resolve the problem of pressing the recording button, and not activating. I have to manually open the back casing and press the recessed main button with a narrow tool.

[@wolfangdigital]

Please try to use the Action Cam app to remotely activate your camera kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHqxk6RpfrRgmJY

[@JUARA8]

@@wolfangdigital Thank you for your fast reply. Problem solved with the action cam app or the remote device provided. The next challenge is to turn off the device. The recording red button, on the door of the casing is not activating the tiny black switch on the body of the camera. Please advise. How cam I send you picture or video for better understanding ?

Hi, will be trying the time lapse mode for the first time.

[@MJeha]

you are a life saver. thank you so much. I'm not sure whether there's a huge difference between this and the FDR3000? what do you think

[@wolfangdigital]

You're most welcome. There's a big difference between X1000 and X3000. Firstly is the optical stabilization, you got to see this to believe it. Next, there's the huge reduction in perspective distortion. Timelapse pics are now in 4K resolution

[@MJeha]

Thank you so the x3000 looks like the major win here above all for timelapse vids 💯

[@alexanderyelizarov993]

great lesson thnx a lot and one question -- don't know know how to change the picture size (photo) in Sony x1000 because i coudn't find such settings?

[@wolfangdigital]

+Чарльз Клифтон Thanks for the kind comments. There is no option to change the photo size.

[@scheaksiaw8793]

Great content! But mate do you have gopro hero 4 silver or black edition? Which one do you recommend? Gopro or Sony?

[@wolfangdigital]

+SCheak Siaw thanks for your kind comment. Yes I use the Hero 4 Black. Both of them are good cameras but GoPro seems to have more 3rd party support.

[@scheaksiaw8793]

WolFang Digital thanks for the reply too! I read alot of reviews and comparison, Yes, I prefer Sony but there are few things that concerns me. 1. Can we use gopro accessories on Sony? 2. What software do you use to edit your videos or photos? Gopro itself has Gopro Studio but Sony does not seem to have it own editing software? Would you be kind enough to answer my question? Thanks in advanced! :)

[@wolfangdigital]

SCheak Siaw I'm not aware of any accessories that are interchangeable between the two brands. If you are using Mac, the best free editor is iMovie. On Windows, that's a bit tough. You may have to go with the commercial softwares eg. Premiere Pro, After Effects, Sony Vegas or Edius. Sony does have their own editing software for consumer level called Sony Movie Studio. Worth giving it a try...

[@scheaksiaw8793]

+WolFang Digital alright,thanks man! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@reyronnachaiofficial]

hi there.. What software did you used to combined all the photos taken and make it into a video?

Hey Baron. Well done mate. Excited as starting my 4WD adventure the day after with my new sony 1000 4K. Really good, crisp and to the point explanations. Baron, can we get the battery charged with a power bank at the same time we are shooting. or is it can be done only for time lapse and photo shoots and NOT for Video. if your answer is yes van you tell the best specification for a good power bank. krishnan

[@wolfangdigital]

Hi Krishnan, thank you for your glowing review! Congrats on your new camera. Hope your 4WD adventure is going well. Yes you can shoot videos with a power bank attached and the best part is, you don't even need a battery inside the camera! Pineng makes good and cheap power banks but if you can find it, I prefer the tried and tested Water Element power bank. Get a power bank with at least 10,000 mAh and output of 5V, 2A Have fun!

[@harn0209]

I would like to ask if I want to shoot the time lapse of sunset,how many sec I want to set? BTW sony action cam really awesome!!!

[@wolfangdigital]

Hi harn0209 for sunset, I suggest to set at 5 secs per pic

[@XTpF4vaQEp]

Got this camera from a store sale with the 10m underwater case here in Sweden for an eq. of 175 USD. So happy right now.

[@wolfangdigital]

Congrats on your new toy!

[@beefybeef1326]

Asalamu alaikum. Thanks for the video! Great content! . I noticed you set the interval between pictures, but can you set the total number of pictures you want too?

[@wolfangdigital]

+Gediz Hussein hi there. Sorry for late reply. Yes you can see the total pictures for timelapse

[@Mendezo2009]

Nice video, very helpful. I have a question, Can you edit using an IPad or you need a computer?

[@wolfangdigital]

There’s a really easy to use app for timelapse with Action Cam. It’s called... Action Cam Download that onto your iPad and you’re got to go! - Baron

[@Itakawabiker]

Very nice tutorial, it was very use use usefull for me but I have a question. After I've captured all the photos to compose the time lapse, which is the du duration of each photo during the editing? Naturally every pic must have the same duration (i use adobe premiere pro cc for windows) , thanks for all

[@wolfangdigital]

Hi Itakawabiker the duration for each photo in a timelapse video is 1 frame. Thanks for you kind review of our tutorial!

[@JUARA8]

I have checked with sony repair centre, quote starts from rm250, and long waiting time, as it needa to be sent to Singapore for repair. Looking forward for advice.

[@seahwaikok5295]

Worth getting this?

[@wolfangdigital]

Get the new X3000 Action Cam, that's much more worth it

[@vincemanzano5956]

what kind of power bank you're using? and do i need special cable?

[@wolfangdigital]

+jozef subee I recommend the brand Water Element for your power bank. Just your your regular USB cable that charges your android phone

[@solivagant50]

What is recommended image size/quality for timelapse?

[@wolfangdigital]

That depends on which model Action Cam you have. The latest X3000 Action Cam we can shoot timelapse at 3840 x 2160 resolution - Barob

[@solivagant50]

I have Sony FDR-X1000V, never done it before:)

[@MrPilcher1]

has Sony removed the software for the Sony HDR AS 300 I can't find it for the GPS overlay. I have4 of these cameras and none ofthe will connect to the software.

[@alfonsomoreno1411]

+Wolfan Digital FCP X is it okey in iPad or iphone????

[@wolfangdigital]

+Alfonso Moreno Hi there, sorry for my late reply. We use Final Cut Pro X on a Mac but if you have a Windows PC, you can try PremierePro. Those are 2 of the best video editing software for timelapse. All the best!

[@Tobbebohman]

How do you get this quality on the time lapse ? I get nothing like this quality on mine! Please answer

[@wolfangdigital]

+Tobbe B can you tell us your settings? Maybe we can help you.

[@asprivl]

Hi! Great video and professional explained everything! Question: (if you know) I have premiere pro CC 2016 on mac. After I shoot time lapse photos, which speed to use to connect photos to create the video and which best export format? Thank you

[@wolfangdigital]

Thank you for your kind comments! In Premiere Pro, use a timeline with 25 frames per second. Export in MP4 or H.264 format. All the best!

[@paramrajeshirke26]

Hi, i am having the same 4k action cam. As you might be knowing that there are tonns of video modes in it, I get confused every time because i dont know which mode to use in different situations. Can you please make a video of it! Thank You Sir!

[@wolfangdigital]

+Param Rajeshirke Good suggestion on the video modes. I will work on making a tutorial on that. Meanwhile, hope this helps- it really depends what you want to shoot. The higher frame rates are for shooting slow motion videos. The higher the frame rate, the more you can slow down the action. 4K mode is for folks who want to shoot the highest quality video.

[@paramrajeshirke26]

+WolFang Digital what if I want a slow motion video without distorting the quality of the video? Is there any option for recording slomo in 1080p?

[@wolfangdigital]

+Param Rajeshirke go to SETUP - V.FMT - Choose HD. Then go back to the main menu and choose SETUP - VMODE - Choose 1080 100p 100 M for the best quality and best slow mo.

[@paramrajeshirke26]

[@MrPilcher1]

Hi I've got the Sony fdr-x3000 and was looking at your power bank, because in 4K with all the stabilisation and GPS etc I'm barely getting 45 minutes of battery life. But I found a setting in the menu USB power supply. Do you have a recommended power bank you'd suggest. I'm intending using the camera for up to 4 hours at a time, the Standard Sony battery is not going to allow this. I want to avoid changing batteries especially during time lapse shoots so as not to bump the framing, So your advise would be greatly appreciated I have seen the Jackery Force 420 PD Portable Charger, 20000mAh Power Bank and do you think this would work. Trying to get information out Sony is like getting blood out a stone. I did ring them and got shuffled around departments and after several hours the and manty calls I gave asking. So now I'll ask an expert achieving the end result I want Thankyou.

[@wolfangdigital]

Hi Gordon, I personally use a 10,000 mAh power bank. It works perfectly and attaching/disengaging it does not alter the position of the X3000. I feel any brand of power bank would work. The cheaper Chinese brands work great, in particular Pineng as you can buy more of them. My tip is to always have a fully charged battery in the X3000 so when you’re changing power banks, the X3000 will continue operating with battery power. Hope this helps.

I think it may be a fear thing by Sony

[@MrPilcher1]

@@wolfangdigital I've not experienced over heating but Sony on their web site say it could overheat with the external power supply . I think Sony may be trying to for us to buy their batteries.

I got one question to u. Are u can record movie on this SanDisk Card in XAVC S format with 100MB speed? Beacuse I buy Lexar memory card and can record only with 60MB speed :( Thank you for help.

[@wolfangdigital]

It won't work with slower SDHC cards. You need a faster speed SDXC card to record at 100 Mbps. Hope this helps!

[@j_takasaki]

Do the firmware upgrade to version 1.10. The cam was very picky when it came to SD cards but they fixed it.

[@philippines-almostparadise5782]

How many minutes does the camera last, or will it run out of memory first?

[@wolfangdigital]

It really depends on what capacity memory card you have inside your Action Cam. The batteries lasts over an hour.
