  Creating 3 second time-lapse from 4 hrs of footage

  Posted by Jonathan Stones on December 7, 2008 at 3:23 pm

  Hi,

  I have 4 hrs of footage on DV tape which I want to condense down to 3 seconds (to create a time-lapse effect).
  Problems I’m having are that even at maximum speed in Premiere (x10000), the footage is still way too long. And also the file size is huge.

  Is there any way I achieve the 3 second time lapse using the ammount of footage I have?

  Thanks for reading,
  Jono

  Ideally, you’d probably want to do that kind of thing with Twixtor in AE, or even with AE’s factory effects.

  In Premiere, it sounds like you would have to render the footage a few times. Each time, making the length shorter.

  If you’re familiar with nesting, you might achieve the effect by nesting your sequence and applying the rate change, than repeat the nesting/rate change as many times a necessary.
