Vic, you're a star, very watchable, unlike young pretenders. I've learnt a lot.

[@jet.bonafe]

This tutorial is so much more thorough than some of the other purported KZbin videographers, excellent work! Thank you!

[@VICVideopIC]

Many thanks, I appreciate!

[@VICVideopIC]

Many thanks!

[@HGQjazz]

Best technical explanation of motion blur I've found on the subject! Thanks for that!

[@VICVideopIC]

Many thanks, I am glad it helped!

[@jayrojas2259]

I'm a Nikon User, and I really like how you broke Motion Blur down! You have a new subscriber!

[@wesbaynham1634]

Excellent guide to timelapses........ I can't wait to get started timelapsing right away!

[@VICVideopIC]

Thank you Wes, Have fun!

[@jamessadler8437]

Great video. I'm an avid timelapser also based in London. All the info in this video is 100% spot on and perfect for anyone looking to improve their timelapses. Its also given me a bit of inspiration to get out and shoot even in this cold weather lol

[@VICVideopIC]

Thank you James, I have left London about one year ago, otherwise it would have been a pleasure to get together for a drink

[@michaellanger2910]

Your videos on this topic are so good, the examples while you're talking, simply the best, thank you

[@VICVideopIC]

Many thanks Michael, I really appreciate

I read the following on a web site explaining that intervals to shuttler speed using the 180 degree rule. What do you think about this VIC? Quote from article: “There is a problem with intervals in time-lapse photography. Set your interval for two seconds, and your shutter speed for one second. The overall interval time will become 3 seconds. The camera starts counting the interval after it takes a photograph. Not when the last interval ends. Shorter times are not as affected as longer exposure times. That’s where the above calculation becomes further and further out of whack. All in all, the one-second exposure will not give us the 180 Degree rule. You may get a nice image, but it’s not what we are after. To make it true, the interval needs to be one-second, just like the exposure.

[@VICVideopIC]

HI Tom, it is true. I use the 180 degree rule whenever possible, but the camera needs to buffer the photo and in general it takes a bit more than half a second. This is why I never shoot timelapses with a frequence of shots of 1 second, as the ideal SS is half a second and there is not enough time for buffering. But starting from a frequency of one shot every two seconds everything is fine

[@TomKaszuba]

@@VICVideopIC So the 2 second interval would be the sweet spot? I have been using 1 second mainly but occasionally will drop a frame here and there and that messes up the final video.

Thanks, got me some ND filters and subscribed…right after watching Pink Panther… now going out for some amugures lol ;) tomorrow my DJI mini3 Pro will have sunglasses just in time for “snowlapses” - P.Hugh, Tenafly, NJ

[@TheFedvin]

This is such a terrific tutorial. Thank you so much. It's the best motion blur tutorial I've seen. Thanks for making it.

Thank you Shervin, I appreciate

Definitely love your content its very precise and straight to point❤

Another excellent tutorial! 🤩Thanks so much for a such a fantastic content! ⭐

[@allencoin]

I love timelapses but have never gotten the results I wanted. Thanks for this video. I'm excited to try for myself.

[@VICVideopIC]

Have fun with it Allen, and show us the results

[@evanthowell]

"in a perfect world, there would be plenty of motion blur for everybody." LOL. :)

[@VICVideopIC]

Ahahahah, yes, I thought that was pretty funny!

[@paolopicchel653]

Queste sono le informazioni che servono per non dare di matto 😁 Grazie.

[@VICVideopIC]

Grazie Paolo, sono contento che ti sia piaciuto

[@ginotarabotto]

THANK YOU! I want to do a time lapse video with my Nikon of a person walking back and forth at home. I think an interval of 3 seconds would be perfect. Could you do a video showing your camera settings?

[@VICVideopIC]

Ciao Gino, if you choose an interval of 3 seconds you should use a shutter speed of 1.5 seconds. Try also an interval of 1 second and a shutter speed of 1/2 second. Then choose the one you prefer. I have done plenty of videos about time lapse on my channel, but I will do some more soon

[@PathmakerProductions]

Thank you so much for the video, it was very informative and I have saved the video so I can come back and refer to it again in the future. Cheers!

Excellent ..!!! thanks again señor Vic..!!!

[@Jessewatt]

What about I shoot high frame rate for slow motion video how do I get motion blur to that ?

[@chiribimchiribim]

Thanks for the video! So if i shoot with a frequency of one shot per minute, that means my shutter speed should be 30 seconds?

[@paulbanyard2677]

Thanks Vic some great advice and techniques. Wonder if you would share abit more about the train timelapse? Would that be 1 second with a shutter speed of half a second or would you have to do 1/4 second because of camera shake? Also wondering if you used a tripod? Going through Canary Wharf looked amazing!

[@VICVideopIC]

Thank you Paul, sorry for the extremely late reply, but for some reason, I had not seen your message before. The one on the DLR| was made at a frequency of a shot every second and a SS of 1/2. With my Nikon D850 (and with most cameras) one shot every half second is not really an option, due to the buffering time for each shot. I did not use a tripod, I was sitting on the front seat of a DLR with my camera against the front window, holding the camera as steady as possible. With such a strong forward speed the lateral shifting of the train is not much of an issue

[@RichardFrenchPhotography]

Great video and some fantastic trips which i will give a go myself.

[@VICVideopIC]

Many thanks Richard, I am glad you liked it, and show us some of your masterpieces!

[@RichardFrenchPhotography]

​@@VICVideopIC I've done a few time lapses already but only using the time-lapses mode on my Canon 80D which does a great job. but i would love to do a few better ones soon using stills. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXvRZ6J9esmFhqc kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIPNkJuwpd94fZo

So if I shooting 60fps, my shutter speed should be 1/120"?

Thank you Tony, I appreciate!

[@billmeador215]

Trying hard to wrap my head around this........how do you get 1/50" shutter speed out of dividing a frame rate of 24 by 2? The math I remember says 24/2 = 12 not 50! I must be missing something in the equation.

[@Jessewatt]

Multiply not dividing

[@katkatCSI]

Shouldn't be 24FPS * 2 ?
