Time-lapse SDX-900-best way?
Hi All,
I’m trying to figure out the best way to try to tape some time-lapse footage with an Panasonic SDX900?
I haven’t used this feature on the camera, but I don’t have the RAM option either (next year’s budget)
I believe the camera can tape 10-20secs at a time interval that you can set. But what I’m wondering about is how you work with it in post?
Even if you recorded time-lapse footage with this feature, then you would still need to spend a lot of time pulling out individual frames and lining them up?
I thought about just rolling off a couple of hours of footage (in realtime), then compressing it down…
Any thoughts?Todd at UCSB

I use a little program called BTV Pro for doing things like time lapse.
You can run it from a laptop connected to the camera, or record the footage to tape and then transfer later.
You can taylor capture options to fit the type of time lapse you are doing.I have found that 1 frame per second gives a nice look.
Good Luck!
