“timelapse” look on 100B
What is the best way to get a “timelapse” look with the DVX 100B. I need it for an upcoming project and I can’t quite figure it out. I will be getting city shots of people and cars, etc. (I know its cliche but its what the client wants). Any tips or tricks will be very helpful, thanks.

I believe the b does not have interval recording any more but I could be wrong. It does have the one-shot mode you could try, check out your manual on that.

Correct the b doesn’t have interval recording.

You mean the A has the interval recording?

Correct.

The very best way to achieve this effect using the DVX100B is to use a program called “Scenalyzer”, which will actually capture the 60i or 24p footage you have shot previously in preset intervals, which will give you that ultra hyper-speed time lapse look. Scenalyzer also will capture from multiple sources at the same time, and capture footage in FF mode, so a full 1-hour tape takes only a few minutes to capture, with no apparent loss in quality. Great program, not too expensive, either.
Of course, you could also just speed up the footage 600% or something like that to give a more direct hyper speed look, if that will work for you.

Adobe’s OnLocation CS3’s feature “time lapse recording” lets you record one frame per whatever time interval you wish – & records that frame direct to external hard drive. So if you want to shoot video over more than one hour and can power a laptop computer & the DVX for the entire shoot, then you’re set. No changing tapes, no twiddling your thumbs, no need to manually activate the DVX record button at set time intervals… Great if you don’t want to babysit a camera for the whole shoot (security issues permitting of course)
