Thanks so much again Mat, your videos are fantastic. Straight to the point, informative, funny and easy to understand. LEGEND :)

With timelapses, you can say goodbye to your shutter pretty quickly. Let's say you want to make a 1 minute long timelapse video with 30 frames per second framerate. This means you need 1800 shutter actuations (30fps x 60s) to get that result. I now only use video for timelapses, and record in 1080p, because that's the Instagram limit, and keeps my filesize low. I speedramp it in Premiere and that's it.

"Geen enkel probleem!"

I feel like I’ve had dinner and a show 😂 love your way of explaining things, and your humour.

"long answer no one asked for" well I thought it was wicked informative! Thank you!

The cons of video timelapse is we can't get photos out of it especially the post-process isn't possible. Photo timelapse can generate both video timelapse files and picture files when we process them on the right software.

Great content! Its keeps getting better these days. Keep it up dude!

[NagyLaci]

One of the best quick explanations with examples on this topic! Will reference this to anyone who'll ask me this question from now on. Cheers!

[yetanotherfilmchannel]

I actually always ask this, that's why I'm here!

[JVisuals]

i never new the proper definition of mega pixels. Thanks Matt!

Can you edit timelapse in lightroom bc the other software is too expensive for me.

[CharlesMiner]

Great video! Does the same apply to hyperlapses? I want to do a hyperlapse during sunrise using the crane gimbal but im not sure if i should do it with photos or with video and whether the video should be 24, 60 or 120 fps.

thank you Matthew, great information. The only problem I have with my 6Dmkii in timelapse movie mode is the minimum interval of 1 second between shots. For traffic I find I want continuous shooting about 0.5fps with 2sec shutter, but no intervals. The best I can do now is use my c300mkii at 1fps. Would you recommend going the stills route at this point for continuous 2second exposures? Thanks, Jon

[itsryanwilkes]

Yes! Awesome explanation bro. Ive been loving getting more into timelapses.

"Focus on my eyeballs!" bahaha! See I didn't leave before the bloopers 😊🌟

Can you make a recommendation please? I am an open water ocean swimmer and will swim between 1 - 4+ miles and want to buy a camera for capturing images and time lapse or video underwater, so far I am considering Sea Life (uses time lapse) Cameras or Go Pro (assumed uses video). I am very inexperienced in photo/video.

[MetaMM]

Stupid question, do you set on timelapse while you shoot or only during editing before posting it on youtube? Thanks.
