HELP! buried in real time

As long as I know, there is not any spacial set in FC to work with time-lapse clips. You record time-lapse and you download like any other fotage.
The speed set in FC only allows to increased 10 times. If you need to speed-up your footage further, you can use the “fit” option. Set an In and OUT point in your time-line and make a fit-edit. Your clip will get the necesary speed to be played with the IN-OUT duration.

Sorry I click the “post direct” too fast.
I don’t know if i understood well your post. The film should have been shot time-lapse, but was shot normal, so now you must speed it up? Is like that?.
Before when I sayd “fit” I meant “Fit to fill”.
There is a good article-tutorial about this issue:
“Nimle Nimbuses and Swift Sunsets Creating Time Lapse Video” by Ben Bryant in the Ken Stone web-site.

[rafalaos] “The speed set in FC only allows to increased 10 times”

IS that 1000%? Because I just made a clip, that I know for a fact was at 1600%

[iCriddle] “i know older versions of Premiere can capture 29.97 at a time lapse rate”

if you are asking if there’s a way to capture the footage as timelapse in FCP, I don’t believe it can do that. You will need to capture all 9 hours of footage.

Also, speed changes aren’t “timelapse”. Timelapse involves shooting a frame of film or video every “x” seconds, minutes, hours, days, etc. I’ve never needed to backend this in FCP, so I don’t know what the short cuts might be, but you could select what interval between frames you want and delete all the footage in-between. Time consuming, but that’s the genesis of the reason why we try to avoid “fixing it in post”.
