Hi,
New to the footage side of things.
What software would you guys recommend for producing footage mainly time lapse?
I currenlty have a Cannon 500d with Photoshop Elements 9 is this good enough? Or do you think I would need to invest in something more like Adobe After Effects.
Any help on this matter will be much appriciated. |

Are you mac or PC.I do timelapse in camera so just process and upload.My camera Panasonic Hs900 has a timelapse setting. Just let it go. one hour equals about 20 seconds finished. easy.Just did a chicken roasting in the oven. Fun stuff. |

Not sure what you are looking for but you can try this free and it works. Photolapse - free jpg still to motion avi converter.
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/PhotoLapse-Download-138213.html
Converted a series of images from the 40D to 720x480, made avi with photolapse. Approved today. (no link or I'd show it...)
If there's a way to do this with Elements 10, (or 7?) someone please tell me? |

I use Adobe Premier myself, personally don't really have a need for After Effects with the stock stuff at this point. |

I've been using Adobe for years. If you can afford it get the Production Suite CS5.5. You will then have some of the best software including Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro. With CS 6 coming out soon there are some better prices on CS5. |

Nice, I went searching and got the answer to a question I asked last year, which no one seemed to know. Both because of your message.
Yes Elements Premier does animations or time lapse. It's load image and then at the bottom "still sequence" which I never noticed. Images must be in order...
Also the old one was can I change the frame rate and make a movie look like an animation (time lapse), and the answer is also yes.
"Clip Speed / Duration" setting.
This will save me a huge amount of trouble trying to get a camera to shoot time lapse and then combine it. Maybe? ???
ps this now official, even though nothing shows yet...
the middle one is new.  |
