Tips for creating time lapse video

Tips on How to Create a Good Time Lapse Video

• Use a tripod or, at the very least, a steady surface where your camera will not move or wobble.
• Shoot moving objects. For example, the night sky, crowds, sunsets, sunrises, etc.
• If you’re shooting in a time of the day when the light is fairly constant (i.e. midday or at night), use manual exposure settings. Set the shutter speed and the aperture and the ISO to what you think is the best exposure setting for the look you want to have in your video. This will give you a constant exposure for all the frames in your video, that is, if the light stays constant
• If you’re shooting in a time of day when the light is constantly changing (i.e. sunsets or sunrises), use your camera’s Auto exposure functions such as aperture priority or shutter priority. The downside of using your camera’s auto exposure functions is that sometimes your camera will underexpose or overexpose a few frames in your video sequence causing your finished time lapse video to look like it is flickering. This is a common occurrence when doing time lapse video and can be somewhat corrected using certain video editors.
