The best way to do fake a hyperlapse / timelapse using video instead of photos is to
1. trim unnecessary parts of your timeline and apply a warp stabiliser effect (after that, you might precompose)
2. apply a posterize time effect (change the frame rate to 1-15fps since this range gives you the best result if you want the fast motion)
3.speed up your footage by using time stretch (the stretching factor depends on how long you want the footage to be) 4.apply motion blur (normally the built-in motion blur wont be helpful so apply a cc motion blur or RMBS)

Theses are the basic steps to achieve such a fake hyperlapse effect and in pre-poduction process, if there is extra stabilization, you can get a better look in post.

You can take a peek at the following link:

Other methods mentioned such as time remapping are not technically called hyperlapse or timelapse since they are merely sped up and they looks smooth and real.

Thanks!

I have figured it out (I need to use a solid shape layer).

Another question is:
How to apply set matte effect?

(When I set the second layer as a track matte, it works well)

(When I apply a set matte effect to the second layer, it cant work. I wanna achieve a track matte effect like below)

Thanks again for your help!

Hi,

Thank your for your reply.

I know how to draw a mask on shape layer.

The question is if I want to show a picture underneath the masked shape layer (turned the visibility off and then apply alpha track matte to it), It can’t work like the case when using a mask solid layer.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply.

I know I am done. But curiosity brought me here.

Why it can’t work for the masked shape layer?

The attached picture is the case I achieved using solid layer.

Thank you
