premiere pro timelapse question
2 Questions.
1. I am producing a few timelapse shots for a client, and I have a rather standard Sony handicam camera. It shoots AVCHD, and is model number hdr-cx700. For what it is, it is pretty amazing. IT has three basic settings,
60i, 60p, and 24p. My question is which mode is best to shoot for decently clean timelapse video. I’ll roll it for 8 straight hours locked off, and then speed it up.
2. In premiere, what is the best way to get the best results. I know premiere and AE have great frame blending techniques.
Thanks!

If you are speeding it up, then 24 should be best. We’re you slowing it down you’d want as many frames per second as possible.
8 hours at 24 fps? That’s a ton of video! I suggest using time remapping and frame blending in AE, then render that out and use the render in PPro. If you want more ” blur” on your movement you might want to use Timewarp in AE, tweaking the Speed property, enabling motion blur within the filter, and tweaking Timewarp’s shutter speed until you’re happy!

GReat! Thank you for the great input.
If I were to want to slow footage down, would it matter, 60i or 60p? I’ve heard 60i because you have an interlaced frame intbetween and it get’s smoother because of that…but that was a while ago!
Thanks,

I’d do 60p — 60i introduces an entirely new set of technical hoops that you don’t want to deal with.
