For quite a while.Īt this stage you now have a bunch of stills ready and waiting to be transformed into your time lapse video. Here you select the action you’ve just recorded and select the folder of images you want to apply it to. Then you ‘stop’ the recording and apply the same sequence of changes to the rest of the images using the “Automate” function. Effectively, creating and naming a new “Action” lets you ‘record’ the editing process you apply to the first image from your time lapse folder. This method requires creating a Photoshop “Action”. This method requires a bit more work and time to process, but is still much better than editing each still individually, a thankless task.

There are many, many effects that you can apply to the footage once it is ‘stitched’ together as a video file (which we will touch on very soon) but first we’ll talk about making those tiny tweaks to the stills before we handle them as a video. Much of the hard work is done and soon we will find out how all that planning and time is going to look. Whatever the use for your time lapse video is we’re sure you’ll want it to look good played back in sequence. You’ve now got a sequence of hundreds, if not thousands of images.
