- Welcome to this new tutorial brought to you by AMP&F. After talking about the basics of astrophotography and how to take single astrophotos, it was only fitting to learn how to put them back to back to create a beautiful and simple film. Most amateur really want to get into it to capture milky way, auroras or moon shots, but never really dare. So here is your chance of easily understanding the basics and steps to adopt. Once you’re started, you will never look back and will be addicted to astro-lapse!

In the first part of the video, I focus on the prerequisites of shooting a time-lapse:
1) The gear needed for your shots
2)how to plan your shooting according to the location, the time of year, the weather conditions… Useful links to plan where celestials objects will be at according to your location and time of year is Starwalk (play.google.co.... Other ones to predict auroras are Aurora Service on the web (www.aurora-serv...) and Aurora forecast app (itunes.apple.c...) which are to me the best ones.
3)Some theory behind a time-lapse
4) Shooting on location
a) Adjusting your camera settings

b) Focusing
c) Adjusting your remote settings
d) Start shooting
5) POST- PROCESSING: creating a workflow
a)Import & save
b)Edit & process
c)Export as a series of images
d)Assemble (pick your frame rate, quality, dimension and codec)
e) Watch: you’re done!
In the second part of the video, I quickly go over some of the elements that can be improved from the planning and all the way to the workflow. I will certainly make other detailed tutorials upon request on these last elements, as they are important for getting stunning quality astrolapses, but for now, you beginners need to get out there and try out numerous times, there’s the key to success! Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoyed the video. I really hope you found it useful and that it will help you start astrolapse!

Great video. Thank you.
Man you are under rated! Love your art. Thank you for for sharing. You deserve more subscribers man. Cheers
Excellent tutorial! Although I already know many things - there is always to learn something new. Thanks.
Thanks man! I'm sure you do, those are the very basics, but yeah if it can help other people, that's why I do it :)
excellent presentation - thank you!!
Just discovered your channel and subbed 👍🏻 Always great to hear a photographer speaking so honestly.
And your time lapses look super smooth! 🚀
Thanks a lot Craig and welcome to my channel! What do you mean so honestly? Are there dishonest people out there ;)? Haha I'm happy you like it :)
14:50. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the camera has a "buffer" where it processes images to the SD card while you take more,so you shouldn't have to wait a few seconds before taking another image. Love the video, that timelapse of the Orion nebula is incredible. Never seen a timelapse of a deep sky object before!
Noah S. You’re right but it actually all depends on you time of exposure. In principle one says that your interval should be at least as long as your exposure time. Expect for auroras, I usually never use intervals lower than 3 seconds, and this is just a beginners tuto that is not focused on aurora, rather wide angle astrophotography, so by default it’s safe to use 3 seconds and upwards. You start seeing problems under with long exposure times, at least with the cameras I have... and thanks buddy, I was also blown away by the results but it’s part of a brand new thing I want to implement. Watch my video on chasing orion if you want to have more details about it in the description or on my blog, have an article about it! :)
set the timer to no number for infinite shots. nice work!
Very good as usual... I'm looking forward to the next tutorial. Which software do you use to put together all the sequences?? I have doubts about which one can get, Premier or After Effects... Don't know yet.
Another question is; the interval time between the pics, you said never lower than 3'', because is the time the camera needs to process the pictures; but is not that related to the speed of the Memory Card you are using??? I mean, as faster the memory card is, the lower interval you can use, can't you???
Thanks for your videos!!
Hey Marina! Thanks! I'm using final cut pro X for mac, but premiere pro works as well :) If you choose the Adobe line up, you will probably need both Pr and Ae. And yes you are totally right, in reality the intervals need to be at least equal to your time of exposure, but in astrophotography, when you go over 3'' exposure, it's a myth that your intervals need to be at least as high, you can keep them at 3'' if you want, or higher. Lower intervals are very important only for aurora and close-ups of deep-sky objects! So I thought that beginners should probably focus on wide-angle, but it will definitely appear in another tutorial on advanced time-lapse! Thanks for bringing it up though :) Personally I always have it on 3'' no matter what, and I never get flicker anymore! :)
Hey Adrien, awesome video! what are your thoughts on editing the pictures on adobe camera raw?.
I've been importing my raw files directly into after effect using camera raw but I feel that it's not as complete as lightroom
Awesome Vid champ. Whats your preferred white balance for astro when the light source is constant? Kindest regards :)
Thanks a lot Ryan. I never really have a preferred WB as it always slightly varies. I'm really trying to get to the middle, as neutral as possible, but it's hard to achieve a 'perfect' WB if you can ever call that!
I can appreciate that but do you have a range that you stay between say for Milky Way shots
I guess around 3500 :)
So I have a canon 700 d a star adventure my question is what lens and aperture and shutter speeds?
Hi! Good work! Tell me what is name of the LR plugin for blending keyframes? Greetings Natalia.
Natalia Eriksson thanks! That’s called time lapse plugin for Lr. Just google it, it’s 49 bucks and works like a charm!
Shame electronic shutters arn't standard on DSLR camera's. Also at night, especially for smooth aurora use an interval of 1-2 seconds, as little as possible, as the camera and remote timer cable seem to count seconds at different rates.
Noah S. Yes it should actually depend on your time of exposure. In principle on says that the intervals should be at last as long as your exposure time. So it all depends on it :) but since it was just a beginners tutorial not necessarily focused on aurora, more on wide angle astrophotography, I urged to use 3 seconds and upwards :)
Tutorial starts at 3:45. Long winded intro.
