That's a full-on #Pro Guide, thanks for sharing 🌄 🙌

NOTE: These settings are all valid for sunrise time lapses as well! The only difference is you will want to begin filming your sunrise time lapse about one hour before the official sunrise time and then allow the time lapse to continue for about two hours after the official sunrise time. Enjoy!

Perfect tutorial. My question about settings for sunrise I was going to ask at the end of the video was answered in your pinned comment 👌. I have a 4 night layover in Singapore December 2024 and wanted to get as much help as I can regarding making some time lapse videos when there. Your tutorials will most certainly help. (especially about sudden light changes regarding incorrect ISO settings)

Thanks for all your great tips!! Wife got me a gopro 11 for my birthday and I would be lost without your help. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks man! Just got a hero 12 and have been doing time lapses, it's been so long since I've messed with settings like this I appreciate the refresher course. 😂

Wow! Much thanks for sharing. Eliminates my having to "experiment." Can't wait to "shoot." Now have to wait for Mother Nature to provide the right conditions. Aloha.

Such a great video for us mortals. Thanks

Great video. Would help to mention why some settings are greyed out in the photo mode. It's because RAW is selected. If you change RAW to standard, you may not be able to play around too much with your editing and color grading in LR, but it will allow you to change the greyed options like the lens (wide, linear or narrow) and the interval settings to below 5 seconds.

How did you do time laps without overheating of your go pro ?

[ianw]

Great video and guide! Though my question is, what is the difference between the normal Timelapse mode and the Nightlapse mode? Is one better than the other when it comes to sunrises and sunsets?

[VetvsWorld]

Dude, amazing yet easy to follow content. Thank you very much!

[kanchanrp]

Lovely sunset time lapse. Thank you for the tips.

[EmbraceTheJourney]

Always look forward to your videos. Thanks for the tips

Ondine understand the sharpness side. Set to low and add in editing. I use FCP and I just don’t notice a difference.

What if you need a voiceover for one project only ? and don't want to a yearly plan ?

[AnthonyJoh]

Fantastic tutorial! For 3 hours with the photo settings, how big an SD card do we need?

[avshumekayten]

The best GoPro tutorials out there, by far! Thank you.
I have one question though - my GoPro 9 doesn't have vibrant or natural color modes, only flat and GoPro. Any recommendation as to which one to choose in case I want to time lapse a sunrise?

[dank]

Perfect tutorial! Great thanks for tips!
And what interval best for 4K 60fps timelapse? 1sec 2sec or 5? It looks we need save in photo mode to get proper 60fps smooth video, right? So it is only 5 sec available as minimum.

I have used these settings for sunset Timelapse’s. Whilst the sunset has been captured great, the sun cannot be seen, appearing as a glow rather than a clear circle like with my iPhone.

Do you have any tips on what settings I should change to make this work?
