Aurora Timelapse

[leggly]

I couldn't decide where to post this so I thought I'd just start a thread for those of us who like to spend hours in dark and cold.

This is one my first attempts at this, I'm quite pleased with it considering I wasn't going to go out that evening.

Looks great, where in the world was it taken?

We live on the north coast of Scotland, on the Caithness/Sutherland border.

Which software do you use to create the video? I've tried some and they can't cope with the number/size of photos I want to use.

I used Lightroom with an add on to turn a slideshow into the time lapse. There is a tutorial on YouTube with the presets for various frame rates. I’ll have a look to see if I can find it and share the link. Once Lightroom has converted it I use Premier Elements to stretch the time length of the video.

Sorry for taking so long... I forgot what I was doing.
Here's the link for turning photos into a timelapse video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpnFqQNgJnE&t=...

DaVinci Resolve (which is free (amazing when you consider what it can do)) can be used to produce timelapse videos from a series of still images. It would be a good idea to reduce the size of the images whatever the video resolution you want otherwise rendering is going to take a while. Most stil cameras can be set to produce lower resolution images and that would be the quickest way.

You'll be able to sort out the exposure, colour etc in the colour tab in DaVinci.

Thanks for the information, I'll pass it on to a friend who is having trouble with his laptop/lightroom.
