Title: Time-Lapse Tool Software
Post by: Uncle Pete on April 10, 2019, 09:31

Anyone have experience with this one. $99 for the full version, that allows commercial licensing and does 4K

Mostly I'm just getting frustrated with converting stills from a DSLR to proper aspect ratios, black bars. Or from a smaller camera to video. OpenShot drive me nuts, Premier Elements crashes, I don't see anything else with the capabilities that the Time-Lapse Tool claims.

But I'd like to know from someone who has used it, can I drop in, lets say for example, 800 sequenced shots from my DLSR, full size, or will I have to convert and downsize like everything else I've tried, because the other software, OpenShot, Photolapse and the rest just can't handle it.

Plenty of memory on the computer, GTX 1070 Windows 10, I just want to stop having to convert, resize, downsize and spend all that time.

Anyone use or have used T-L Tool?

I'm using After Effects and it's working quite well (and no extra fees if you already have Creative Cloud). Import all the photos as a sequence to edit via Camera Raw in After Effects, place the sequence in a new composition, and change the resolution and frame rate in the composition settings, export. Done :)

Just go with After Effects and you will be good to go. Fully agree with Not Today. Even though it is in fact Today.

Drag and drop all your RAW files. Tweak a bit in Camera RAW. Export full size video file (format up to you). Edit that file (size, colors, whatever) and export for delivery.

Or use the Gold Standard -- LRTimeLapse.

I have used the Pro version for years, and it has never let me down.

Thanks for suggestions, I forgot that I had installed DaVinci resolve and uninstalled, I never got to timelapse.

No I don't pay for cloud. But consider what software costs and the upgrades, I should really be subscribing.
