Time-lapse movies are movies that are created out of many still photos of the same location. You might have seen these effects on tv in shows that explain how something big, like ships or buildings, get build. What many people do not know is that it is extremely easy to create these time-lapse movies. All that is needed is a collection of photos that show the same location and the software PhotoLapse. Probably the easiest way to obtain photos of the same location is to use a webcam to create a photo every x seconds. These photos can then be turned into a time-lapse movie with the PhotoLapse software
PhotoLapse is a tiny software program that has been designed for this purpose.
The portable software program can be started right after the download has finished. The interface consists of a file browser to select photos from the local computer system, a preview area and some available settings.
All it takes to create a time-lapse movie is to select the photos from the local computer system. It is possible to load files from a folder and select some or all of them for the movie. A few optional settings can be configured including the frame rate (default 15, between 1-30), error checks and if the movie should be reversed.
A click on the create movie button will start the process. A compatible codec needs to be available on the computer system. The program will automatically display all codecs giving the user the choice of the codec for the time-lapse movie. The process takes a while largely depending on the video codec and the amount and size of the selected photos.
The portable software program PhotoLapse is compatible with most Windows operating systems. It can be downloaded from the developer’s website. Time-lapse movie examples are available at all popular video portals including Youtube or Google Video.

I usually just set Premiere Pro to import images as 1 frame, and drag all the pictures over.

I use Vdub (virtual dub). You point it at a folder of pictures, and then you can choose the frame rate, the bit rate and the resolution with ease. This plus CHDK has let me easily produce 1600×1200@30fps@10Mbps clips like the one in this post, adding music is just as easy

@Tvhargon: Premiere Pro: $800
photolapse: free
having an application that does one thing and one thing well, as well as be portable: priceless.

It’s possible to use mencoder to do this, but it’s a long and complicated command. You might also want to mogrify everything to the same size before this, so you don’t get weird resolution problems.

Does It makes both Timelapse and stop motion?

I’ve just been using Windows Movie Maker, so I’ll have to give this a whirl. You can search for ansonchappell at YouTube to see some of my short clips.

I tried it. Can’t view the files, though. There’s a comment about needing codecs, on the download page. But not how to use them.

I’d rather use ffmpeg comman line gloriousness instead. :)

The free program Bink from Radgametools.com has been able to do this for ages. For a guide as to how to use it for timelapse check out the PDF here – [www.setvak.cz]

what is the difference between stop motion and time-lapse?

@Sam Scott Given: An application that only replicates a single feature of a free, portable and far more useful program (vdub): worthless?

First I use lightroom to import the photos and edit / add effects… then using the export tool you can dump files to the right size (1920 x 1200 – 72dpi) in addition to adding sequence numbers.
From there I use vegas video… makes importing the sequences a snap. I’ve also had success with cs4.

If you’re using Linux you can use mencoder to turn a bunch of jpg’s into an avi

I used to use this, and it’s good, but lately I’ve just been using Picasa.

WOW is there something like this for the mac?

I bought MovieSalsa for this purpose a while ago and it works ok. I recently Picassa 3 to make some time lapse movies involving over 5000 images and it worked extremely well.

I’ve been using the previously mentioned [lifehacker.com] Yawcam for the same purpose

@Alessandro Romano: I’m not sure if this is correct, but the way I’ve always thought of them is as follows:
stop motion: you’re in charge of the scene, and you move everything to get the next picture. (eg. plastic army men walking across your desk)
time lapse: you don’t affect the scene; you do nothing special, simply aim the camera at something interesting. (eg. cars driving down the highway)

I owed Quicktime Pro already and find it very useful to make time-lapse. I can just put all the files in a folder, select the first and then choose my fps. Very easy.

This app worked great for me. I found it about a year and a half ago when our house was about to be built. We were temporarily living in a trailer on the same building lot, so I pointed a webcam out of the trailer’s back window to catch the whole months-long process on time lapse webcam. This PhotoLapse app worked just great for merging my images into movies. (I made a separate movie file for each day of construction). The app is simple enough to use, yet gives helpful options such as the framerate and being able to reverse the movie order. And hey, I couldn’t beat the price! Bravo PhotoLapse!

@hudster: What program did you end up using with your webcam to take the pictures?
