Hey all,

Thanks so much for your great suggestions! I thought I’d post the solution that ended up working for me so that anyone who finds this via Google will have some options.

1. Crop all your time lapse images as you want them to appear.
2. Place them in a project with BIGGER dimensions than your pictures.
3. Render all the still images to new track, so it will be a video file.
4. Pan your new video with a box that matches your final output dimensions (say, 1280×720).
5. Resize project (via project properties) to the same dimensions you used for your pan box (in step 4).
6. Render video.

Thanks for getting back to me Mike! But I think the method you’re suggesting will make the same pan on each individual image.

What I need is to make the pan over ALL the images as a group, which would give the effect of a moving time lapse. See what I mean?

The thing is, I need to render the images to a video track before I pan/crop, otherwise I can only pan over single images and not all of them (which is what I need to do to pan a time lapse).

Here’s the method I’ve devised, I’d love to hear some feedback on it before I take the plunge:

1. Batch crop all images (about 1500) to 1600 x 720 pixels.
2. Place in project with project dimensions of 1600 x 720.
3. Render to new track.
4. Pan new video with 1280 x 720 pixel box.
5. Resize project to 1280 x 720.
6. Render video with those dimensions.

That should result in a 720p, panned time lapse, yes?

Thank you!!
