Make Your First Time-Lapse Video at Home

Making a time lapse video at home can be somewhat simple if you have the proper cameras and software.

A time lapse video is simply a video that is shot over time and is sped up to show how an object advances.

A great example of this would be showing how a plant grows over time.

To shoot this type of video, you should have a quality camera and use manual mode.

You also want a tripod to keep the camera steady.

After shooting the video, you will probably need to edit any exposure problems and finalize a resolution and zoom.

Key Takeaways:

  • A time lapse video is very simply a video that covers a bunch of time that is fast forwarded or sped up so you can see the advancement of the object over time.
  • The best way to shoot a time lapse video is to use a quality camera and to shoot it in manual mode. You also want a very steady tripod.
  • You will also need to post process your file by editing things like exposure, resolution and zoom.

“As animals that perceive their environment mostly by visual means, homo sapiens process information through images.”
