Great video, for a beginner make sure before anything you go to window and select workspace -> motion. Messed with it for an hour before i learned this
Clear. Concise. No Bullshit. Thanks for making the cliff note version. Had me back in business in minutes after forgetting how to make a timelapse in PS.
While the images are in the Camera Raw Filter < select all > then with the Lens Correction tab selected tick Remove Chromatic Aberration and Enable Profile Corrections.
Great video! Is there also a way in photoshop to stack one image after the other in the timelapse instead playing one after the other? (For astrophotography, star trails)
Great video man , when I'm exporting my TL in the naming and quality section it says JPEG not MP4 and after export it has exported the images not a video ! I'm stumped and would appreciate any help you could provide! Thanks in advance
Thanks for the great tutorial. It was most informative and concise. I'm trying to decide which editor to use for my time-lapses and you may have sold be on Lightroom-Photoshop. I'll bet that you are in NZ. I'm across the pond in Adelaide.
Hi there, the raw image editor only opens if the images are raw so it won't work with JPGS. But dragging the images on to the top bar should work as long as they are being dragged to the right locaiton.
You need something that rotates the camera every second or minute (depending on your timelapse settings). Something like this: edelkrone.com/products/headone or you can build one yourself for cheap with Arduino and some motors and other things, like this guy did for $10: ua-cam.com/video/Yf42whhX82E/v-deo.html
Great video & tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Is that possible to interpolate frames between exist pictures? it can be slow down and makes longer time lapse video.
Great video, but I can't get it to open the images like you did, even if I drag them onto the tab? It opens them in different documents. Wat is wrong. I am importing Jpegs, would that be the problem? Would have to edit them in Lightroom. Shouldn't be a problem.
Incredible ! Thanks for sharing this. Can I use that to combine several timelapse pieces into one longer video? And will it have basic video editing features such as adding some fade in and out effects?
I just tested this out for myself. You can add multiple time-lapses and there are some very basic cross fade and dissolve effects. You can even add music if your feeling extra fancy.
Excellent video which answered my basic questions, but I have a more complex question and hope you have some advise. The purpose of this project is to show how the sky could look if we eliminated light pollution. Basically I want to insert a static foreground that is not part of the data collected for my time lapse. For context, I live in an area with a small amount of light pollution; enough that the sky above a ceretain point is black, but at the horizon, there is a light dome. I have a good group of images of Orion's movement across the sky for use in the time lapse. But sadly the light pollution is bright enough that Orion disappears in the light pollution before it reaches the scenic rocky cliff side that forms the horizon. To adjust for this, I collected the time lapse images while Orion was inn the dark part of the sky. Separately, I took a number of shots of the the scenic rocky horizon. Using the object selection tools, I have an image of just the rocky horizon selected that eliminates the ugly light pollution. Somehow I now need to insert the smart object foreground image of the rock formation to the entire group of images that will be used for the time lapse.
Big big thanks, tried to make timelapse using lightroom and after effects, neither works, lightroom doesn't seem to even show preview of my raw files and after effect gave me some contrx error! This worked like a charm! Favourited this video!
Timelapse takes a lot of practice and is a bit of a refined art, the more you do the better you get! Suggest to watch some of our other tutorials on your UA-cam channel :)
Awesome video. However, I have a question. When I click export in the final step I do not get the option to render video (may be due to the fact that I did not change into 4k like you did), but anyhow, it then starts to load as it exports but never stops. It seems like that loading screen will never end. Why does it get stuck?
While it's possible to add motion in your editing software, you'll get much better results by adding motion by using a motion control system like the Syrp Genie. This will give you parallax and feel a lot more realistic than a key-framed movement in post.
This is a great video! I am only running in to one problem (it has nothing to do with the great instructions in this video) and figured someone may know the answer. I am uploading the photos into PS. I have all my photos selected. However, the Image Sequence button will not allow me to click it and they are uploading out of order. I can see the button to click but it is not highlighted and doesn't respond. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!
Make sure that you are following the steps correctly for exporting the raw images out of the Raw Development. If the image sequence checkbox is not highlighting or the images are out of order this will be the issue. Watch the bit at 1:40 again about naming the files :)
Click on only the first image ie car_01.jpg then you should be able to check the image sequence box and then click open and it will know to grab all your other images with it
Hey, great work! I've tried it myself but the video is taking a lifetime to export. How long did yours take? I'm using just under 600 photos, so it's 3 times more than how many you used. I'm working on a professional grade computer (hackintosh) with the latest and most powerful parts so thought this would take minutes to export, but it's been 11 hours so far! It's definitely not the computer as any work done on Final Cut Pro X is rendered incredibly fast.
Can't wait to try this out! If I have a day to night timelpase, or different light throughout the timelapse, is there a way to edit keyframes individually, like through Lightroom?
Great video. I have a question . When I select files for importing to photoshop , I select the first image and click image sequence, it only import that picture and not all the pictures for a time lapse ..
Make sure that the images names are counting up in a chronological order for example : Image_001, Image_002, Image_ 003 and so on. Otherwise it will not be recognized as a sequence.
@@SyrpLab Hi! my images are in proper sequence but when I click open then click the first image, the "image sequence" checkbox doesn't show up. thank you hope you could help me.
All, after some help, done all of the editing and into JPEGs but when I open them up and click image sequence it only brings through the first image not the sequence, and the file name has been set to sequence to so it should be doing it but it isn't? any help?...
Yes you can definitely add gradients, the gradient tool is in the top tool bar. Adobe camera raw has all the same features as the develop tab in Lightroom, you just need to hunt around for them. If you feel more comfortable with Lightroom, try exporting your graded time-lapse out of Lightroom and then import the images into Photoshop as a sequence.
Thanks! I've had quite a complex work around for awhile. I'm actually most comfortable editing photos in photoshop. I'll give this a try and see if there is any downside to it for me. Seems like it might speed up my workflow - aka. a major plus. Thanks for sharing! Love working with my syrp. Keep up the great tutorials!
First for taking the picture of the milky way you need to have a long exposure. This can change depending on many things however it is probably 30 seconds. Your interval needs to be longer than your cameras exposure and processing time. If it is not your camera will still be processing when the genie tells the camera to take the next shot. Simply set your interval a few seconds longer than your shutter speed and make sure that the camera triggers on every frame.
Such a great video mate, really informative and clear. Looks like a beautiful place to photograph too! What software do you use to create the panning effect in the clip?
I don't think that trick works on Mac. I can't get it to either. I'm also unable to edit the sequence in Camera Raw. It does not open in Camera Raw (with DNG, PSD, or JPG files) and if I try to edit in Camera Raw after opening the sequence, it only edits the first frame. Long story short, I can open as a sequence, but not by dragging into the top bar. I can use Photoshop to make a time lapse, but I can't use it to adjust the image files while in the time lapse work flow. I think to do this I'd need to batch edit the files, perhaps in the Lightroom, before importing as a sequence in Photoshop. I'll try on my PC when I have a chance. Might be a limitation of Adobe products on Mac.
Should add, you can click 'Open' in Photoshop, select the first image, then check the box 'open as a sequence'. This works for me with JPG and PSD files, but not DNG or RAW files.
I had the same problem with CC on a Mac, then I dropped them in as RAW files and everything worked fine. Don't know if you were using RAW or jpeg, but if jpeg give it a try with RAW files. I also closed out everything else I was working on in Photoshop so just the home page was open before I dropped the files into the menu bar.
I was using RAW. What are you dropping the files onto? There is no menu bar attached like tin the windows example to drop to, and if I drop into the black it will attempt to open every image. @@kdsnk9s
I dropped mine into the gray area above the black working section. The only other thing in the gray area is the Photoshop logo on the left side, when I drag all the photos to that area I get a green + (for add) for a split second then I just dropped them there. Hope it works for you, I was very frustrated also until I found out how to drop them in, once I did that the rest was very easy and worked out really well. @@SheldonCharron
NYONE WHO CAN HELP...? I really appreciate ☆ I tried making my first time lapse video in Photoshop using the method most Photoshop users seem to follow: Edited the images in Lightroom and saved in an folder. Then opened Photoshop and changed workflow to MOTION, uploaded the images and set my frame rate. Had a great looking video that worked fine when clicking play. Then went to FILE - EXPORT - RENDER, filled out settings and pressed RENDER VIDEO. Not complicated at all. Problem is that I end up with one new file per image saved in the folder instead of ONE VIDEO FILE I can upload for Instagram. Why do I end up with separate images instead of one video file?

@@SyrpLab Thanks so much for replying!! I just saw it now. I have watched some tutorials on how to create videos using Photoshop to share in your Instagram feed (with a ▶️ button to press play). Since Instagram doesn't support GIF I have learned that I have to first create a GIF from the images (I use Photoshop for this). Then I have to re-open this GIF again in Photoshop and then choose ‘export' - 'render video’. This works fine - except that I can’t choose mp4 for saving at this step (I can choose: BMP; Dicom; JPEG; JPEG 2000; Photoshop; PNG; Targa; and TIFF). I am working on Photoshop CS5 - don’t know if that’s the problem? I will REALLY-REALLY appreciate any help ☆☆☆
The European vs American frame rate is becoming more and more irrelevant, isn't it? Most everything region based is broadcast TV, and they never go above 30 fps really. And TVs today can display both. Everything else is displayed on youtube which can handle any framerate up to 60 fps really... Or am I wrong?
