Tutorial: How to Setup a Motion Day-to-Night Traffic Timelapse - Mark Thorpe

[@emmarita487]

very good, clear, concise tutorial

[@since8568]

that kelvin adjustment is a great suggestion!!! thanks

[@chrishenry4663]

excellent. thanks for posting

[@kenchooo1]

One of the Best Comprehensive Timelapse video tutorial. Very Effective. Thank You!

[@brianmoore7910]

thank God a proper tutorial for timelapse magic thank you so much

[@astrovlog]

Great video! thanks for sharing! The background music is a bit distracting, but the info you gave us is great!

[@lythalmind]

manually adjusting the exposure in between pictures is the best option for any photographer who doesn't have LRLightrroom or any other flicker fixing plugin. I realized this after watching like 10 different creators tutorials. thank you

[@VReyes]

Very informative and well done video. I will start into amateur photography so you will have me here for all those tips and knowledge you have. 👌

[@Wastelander13]

Cant stop watching! To me the music suits well, it gives me that "one moment in time of humanity feeling" that suits well to the captured scene! And thank you for explaining the making of so well! Great work!

[@MileyonDisney]

Very helpful video! Mark explained everything very well, and I feel like everything that could arise was covered. His final timelapse was pretty cool. Always wondered how to go from day to night. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks!

[@chrisscarffe7416]

Thanks Mark. Super informative and very useful.

[@colingladden3355]

That is the best thumbnail I've ever seen in the years I've been on KZbin

[@davyscales7732]

excellent video tutorial nicely done

[@wbarela7313]

Really beautiful work and great tutorial! Thanks!

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

Bravo! Good work man.

[@twosheafilms]

Awesome tutorial! Big thanks to Mark and Syrp for making this happen! Looks like I'll be purchasing LR Time Lapse Pro. I've been doing some TL but I haven't tried the night to day yet.

[@thedarkerarts288]

Nicely made and very informative. Well done

[@thehemsley_]

Great tutorial, I have learnt a lot that I hope to take over to my drone time lapse. Keep up the great work

[@Lumencraft-]

Great video. I just learned a few things about my camera I wasn't even expecting to.

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

Fabulous information extremely informative thanks for a super video!😊

[@SyrpLab]

Glad it was helpful Andre!

[@PatrickHayes376]

Awesome video and details on the setup. Never played with the kelvin settings before but I love the effect it has. Thank you for sharing!

[@WilliamMcAlpine777]

This was brilliant. I'm thinking of experimenting with time-lapse in my videos.

[@TopsMiah]

Absolutely brilliant so clear and to the point. Subbed, smashed a 👍

[@natepate6117]

Cool very cool thanks for all your time and explaining how to do all the stuff very very neat stuff

[@tangaroa678]

The music was a distraction, but cracking video. Thanks!

[@tamarstafford6404]

you explain this so well, thanks a heap!

[@MattWhittingham]

Very useful as you pretty much cover everything.

[@onetimelapseeveryday-ish8695]

Excellent. Thanks for the tutorial. I'll be giving this a shot for some day to night traffic timelapse stuff :)

[@365daysinparadise]

I already came across time laps pro but had no time so far looking at tutorials, thanks for the quick run though mate the editing process seems to be clear now, I just need to get used to my DSLR now to get proper shots first as sunrise /sunset seem to be the more challenging tasks ;)

[@myroadtours6147]

Nicely done video!

[@deanhome1]

thank you for this video very nice I may look into purchasing a genie

[@bnnett]

Hey I just wanted to say that this is the best and most detailed time-lapse video I have seen so far thank you very much subscribed to your channel

[@SyrpLab]

Thanks Bennett, that's awesome!

[@bnnett]

Syrp Now how can I get that device

[@SyrpLab]

The Genie Mini is available on our website: syrp.co.nz/products/genie-mini and also from various dealers worldwide. To fine a dealer close to you, head to syrp.co.nz/support and click Find A Dealer

[@Bobbylopezcreative]

They sony mirrorless cameras have a feature in their time-lapse app that has an AE tracking feature that changes the exposure for you when doing day to night time-lapses. I can't imagine having to stand in front of the camera to make long time lapses and have to manually fiddle with the settings in between each frame. Kudos to you!

[@timelapseworldd2480]

Very cool video!

[@walterwiniana]

I really enjoyed this tutorial, thank you so much for being so inspiring 👍

[@MishaMartin]

this Mini of yours is amazing!

[@Carlonepapa]

Wow. A super class.

[@mohamedchart]

Great video, Thanks for sharing

[@rockkk4106]

amazing sir

[@stevefromlondon9175]

Hi thank you so much for that tutorial it was a great help & very easy to follow Regards Steve

[@Mr.HarryPotter]

Thanks so much for posting this. Even though, I have been using LRTimelapse and Genie Mini for quite some time, but watching this video was a pleasure no matter you know what you doing or just a beginner. Many people tried to explain Holy Grail in LRTimelapse, but this is the best one ever. I wish Syrp would take care of the App freezing on me most of the tome and upgrade the App so it could automatically Bramp (Bulb+Ramping) in Bull Mode just like Radian (The Dark Side!) did from the beginning. Changing the settings on the camera while shooting is exhausting and impractical etc., for longer time-lapses or at night.

[@seawildearth]

+M Potter thanks for posting. With regards to the ramping through the Holy Grail period you will only really be busy for about an hour or so. Once you reach optimum darkness not a lot will change and you can just concentrate on supervising the safety of the rig etc. I like the aspect of ease that apps and technology allow but personally I don't want to have all of the challenges removed. That makes things too easy, lessens the sense of accomplishment etc.

[@FabJammes]

Dear Seawildearth, thanks for the video. Really helpful ! I was wondering: do you know if the Genie Mini and your Holy grail technique is compatible with qDslrDashboard to avoid touching the camera ?

[@brocatorpido5901]

good job . i m empressed

[@Ledanne]

thanks for the tips! i will try this one!

[@gusthx]

nice tutorial man :)

[@byjingo4640]

Great Tutorial..

[@441greenleaf]

Nikon lens on a canon body. Fck the system xD

[@inoxide5454]

Gricket !

[@raymondrahner]

Eren Alkan I use Canon lenses on my Sony A7 and FS5...

[@mcrksman]

that's because Sony doesn't have alot of lenses... but Canon does

[@raymondrahner]

Mark Chia Are you high?! or stuck in 2010? The Sony E mount is the most versatile mount on any camera system! The fact that the sensor is so close to the mount makes it easy to adapt any lens. You can use anything from EF, to PL, to FD, Leica, Minolta, Nikon and many more! Sony Zeiss glass is way better then any Canon L lens. That's why most pros use Zeiss CP2s for alot of movies. Do some more research. Sony does have quite a few lenses but it's the adapters that extend your options! Another cool thing is a speed booster! You can get an EF to E and with this will allow you to do is (On an APSC camera) make the lens a full frame lens then if it's a F4 lens, it will make it a F2.8. You will NEVER get anything more versatile then the Sony E mount.

[@mcrksman]

Are u illiterate? Or did u just not bother to read my comment properly? I'm obviously talking about native lenses when I say it doesn't have a lot of lenses. And even thought they do have a decent range now they're all pretty ex compared to 3rd party brands. And I don't have a million $ to spend on cameras so I have done my research and I do use adapters and Tamron lenses.

[@huyked]

Thank you, sir.

[@BettyBuddies]

beautiful

[@tripartstudio]

Great tutorial, thanks for ur time ;)

[@Avinolivera]

Helpful, Thank you

[@stwiebe]

Great video, helped a tone, but when you do the voice overs next time, turn down background music!

[@AhmedKamal-ok5fj]

Very informative clip plus the timelapses were amazing ! can anyone tell me what music is in the background I really liked it

[@butchpouka]

any chance you repost this awesome tutorial without the background music that is driving me crazy I couldn't watch past nine minutes

[@pirmohammaddiwan2313]

New technique for me, but nicely and slowly explained in detail. Few time listening lessons in the Tutorial prepares u to try actual practice WITH ypoe GoPro5

[@orangetechpro7323]

Amazing video .....:)

[@rochditidjani]

Excellent video with thorough explanations. I just wish you didn't have that music.

[@NayveeMan]

Fantastical

[@CharlieGza]

Cada vez me convenzo más de comprar el Sryp mini y no el Radian. :)

[@photobomb6186]

Hi Mark. Thanks for giving your time and all the information . With regards ramping the shutter speed to adjust for exposure. Would you recommend a gradual adjustment of say open up 1 stop over 25 frames. Or just get to the correct exposure as quick as possible say with in 4 frames ? Does the LR time lapse need to see a jump in exposure in order to find the key frames ? Thanks Mike

[@seawildearth]

Hi Mike. LRTimelapse doesn't seek to detect light changes due to ISO or Shutter adjustments. It simply renders the incremental changes in each frame, irrespective how small they may be, so that over the course of time between two keyframes they result in the continuous and flowing final clip without any noticeable flicker.

[@jirehtzl]

hi i would love to know what camera and lens did you use to shoot this video with, and how did you colour grade your shots? the colours are amazing! :-) thank u!

[@markshirley01]

Thanks great tutorial - shame about LRTimlapse commercial licence price bit to expensive for me.

[@martinseeger2714]

Thanks for the great video. I just tried the same technique with my new Syrp Genie Mini. I wonder how you manage to touch your camera without moving it and thus disturbing the movement. Unfortunately my Syrp Genie is always a littel loose when and only the slightest touch will move the whole camera. I am quiet frustraded. D you also have this problem or might I have an production error in my Genie Mini? Thanks

[@JamaWest]

Great video dude, i notice you have a zoom h2n, do u use it with your mk iii?

[@teutastazic6309]

This is a great video, really helpful. But I just wondering, couldn't you put the camera on automatic exposure mode?

[@SyrpLab]

This is possible, but can increase the chance of flicker. It really just depends on personal preference!

[@teutastazic6309]

Tnx for your reply, I'll probably try both ways :)

[@MichaelPatterson23]

Great video. Question, does your genie mini give you any issues. I was about to purchase the genie after watching your video but have read nothing but bad reviews. Especially on Amazon. There are a few good reviews but the negative reviews far outweigh the good. For the price tag not sure if I want to chance it. What have been your experience with the genie?

[@sgyeolily]

Thank you! This video clarified many of the doubts I have regarding time lapse photography from day to night. One question. Would it be okay to set ISO to Auto and let the camera adjust the ISO and I just focus on the shutter speed?

[@seawildearth]

+yeo lily Hi Yeo. Setting the ISO to Auto in the urban environment may not be a great idea, I understand that you are ramping and in Manual shooting mode but given a busy traffic intersection you may get drastic light level changes as the flow of traffic changes from one direction to another. This will have the camera continually compensating for that creating a greater incidents of 'pumping' and therefore compounding the complexity of the edit. With a fixed ISO and the fact that you're shooting Manual and have lots of leeway with the RAW files in post which I prefer.

[@sgyeolily]

+seawildearth Got it. Thank you for the explanation!

[@vk4vsp]

You didn't show the last part where LRTimelapse renders the video, but with the latest version, you can apply the crop there, rather than mucking around in Lightroom doing it. I don't know if that was the case with version 4 of LRTimelapse.

[@bourdon845]

Jolies images

[@mev1982]

Kewl... thanks alot man..

[@MaZEEZaM]

I would love to be able to do this but I know I don't know anywhere near enough about basic DSLR camera use to understand the settings.

[@rocksandoil2241]

BTW, I like the music ... Too. Great technique

[@richardpantoja764]

Hi Syrp thank you so much for the video, It was very helpfull for me. Just a little question about your video what software did you use to edit your video and how do you do the animated effect of 5:20 "Shutter Speed -> Image processing" this is really really nice. So, Could you share your knowledge? thank you so much!

[@SyrpLab]

Hey Richard! We edited the video in Premier Pro and used After Effects for the animation. Cheers!

[@GerardoRoca]

fix the volume, please

[@christianwig6460]

Hi Mark,,maybe i missed it,,but do you not use some form of "Move shoot move" ? or is it spinning constantly ? Great tut :-)

[@SyrpLab]

Hey Christian - you can use Move-Shoot-Move or Continuous Mode with the Genie Mini, although in this case Mark used Move-Shoot-Move.

[@sayedmohdsalman]

Thank you so much for the tutorial... but please use some better background music... this one was disturbing while concentrating on your instruction

[@jbratt]

It seems like with that long of a shutter speed, the camera movement would cause a slight blur on the buildings.

[@VMXGroove]

Great video! Good information. Thank you for posting. One bit of feedback. Lose that obnoxious background music or at least lower it. Hard to follow what you are saying with all that going on in the background.

[@chrislindeman5667]

What is that machine called you hooked up to your tripod. That makes the camera move etc.

[@JoshuaAsiaten]

How did you color grade your video? And what software did you use?

[@FunnyClipify]

i relly like this video. hope thet some one know how to add this typ of texture or font like in 5.18 secends of the video. if someone know which software can do somthing like that please let me know.

[@foloeel]

Why so loud distracting 'background' music. Hard to watch all of it.

[@PhotoLitos]

Completely agree

[@guyeiny]

thanks for great tutorial, the min looks like a great tool one question though, slightly off topic: at 9:48 your lightrrom sliders seem to be colored, how did you achieve that? is that something in lightroom which I missed? cheers!

[@SyrpLab]

Hey Guy - this difference depends on the version of Mac/Windows and Lightroom that you're using. It won't effect the way the application works.

[@macronencer]

Thanks for posting! Some great advice, but that music can't support a 15-minute video. After three minutes I was already wondering when that kid was going to stop practising his Cure cover in the guitar shop downstairs :-\ You would have done better to use it between sections when there wasn't much narration-or even just at the opening and end credits. There seems to be a widespread concern nowadays that viewers will get bored without music, but this is not so, as long as the subject matter is useful and interesting-and yours is! By the way, what's the reason for setting the white balance? I'm assuming you process raw files anyway, so can't this be done in post? That is, unless you're shooting raw *and* JPG, and you plan to use the JPGs separately. Or have I missed something relating to in-camera white balance?

[@seawildearth]

Sorry for the delay in responding re: White Balance. As a personal thing I prefer to try and get away with as little post editing as possible. I guess that comes as a personal challenge given every parameter when shooting RAW can be shifted to suit in post, within reason. Just a personal thing.

[@richard281150]

Great video as I'm thinking about buying one of these. I had to stop the video after a while as the music is too loud and too distracting. Please re-do the video without the music, it isn't required. Why do a lot of people have to have music?....... :(

[@ronysarkar4031]

thats aweosome.... but please provide some basic tips to shoot a timelapse ... as everyone is not professional ..

[@essexracer27]

can i ask what adapter your using to allow nikon lenses on a cannon camera ??

[@BEEFYCNC]

at 14:40, shouldn't you reload the Metadata before exporting? I'm only using the trial version of LRtimelapse so maybe the pro version is different...

[@canon295]

cool.

[@mitgteam6087]

Thanks man, waiting for my Mini to go further in timelapse but too bad for the music that is ruining all those clear explanations.

[@alexdiloco]

Hi pal, can I use your timelapse in one of my video, please ? I give you credit

[@paulokloster6352]

what brand and model the adaptor for Nikon lens?

[@roni_sidhu]

Hi, just wondering why I shouldn't use auto ISO or aperture mode to keep my set metering? any help is much appreciated

[@SyrpLab]

It's not ideal because it causes unwanted flickering in your timelpase, and your exposure will jump around a lot.

[@vincentnin1]

syrp genie is so expensive thooo.. my only option now is a hyperlapse

[@RitvikOG]

Hi, I have a question. Did you convert the Raw pictures to DNG? I wanted to know if DNG makes editing smoother that Camera Raw. I tried using LRTimelapse on my 2015 MacBook Pro, but it was very slow and heated up very fast. Does converting to DNG help?

[@beyondpoypoy]

I tried to shoot a day to night timelapse, but how can I get away with the exposure changes? it looks really distracting..

[@GenerationGap69]

Interestingly I didn't notice the music until closer to the end. One thing I didn't like was the hand rail in the bottom of the frame but otherwise I enjoyed it, thanks

[@AlexTimelapse]

A bit different than the official Holy Grail LRtimelapse tutorial, there never select all the keyframes to sync , now i am confused if is ok to do in both ways

[@SyrpLab]

Hey Alex - yep, whatever way works best for you. This is just another take on the process. Thanks!

[@raoulv4678]

Hi, what aperture are you using? thanks

[@mudstuff]

He said F8, ISO100 to start, 2.5 second interval, 3300K and RAW. Listen ;)

[@viajesargentinos8750]

which tripod u use??? i need the same with the moving head! which head is it? is it separated to the tripod?

[@SyrpLab]

I'm not sure on the exact model but you can ask Mark Thorpe for details

[@cazledazle3043]

hey I live in auckland!
