Glad to hear it's helpful Mark, there is also a written guide that you can reference when out and about on the go. hyperlapsephotography.com/how-to-choose-the-best-time-lapse-interval-for-any-scene/

Thank you for providing such an informative and easy-to-understand video.

Right back at you!

Loved the Pizza analogy, now im hungry. 😂

Thank you! This is all very helpful and very clear. You mentioned in one of the examples adding a time stamp to the time lapse and I’m wondering how to do it. Right now, I’m using Lapse It and my iPhone, but I have a variety of Adobe programs I could use after the fact. Do you have a sense of what is a simple, straightforward way to do this? I’m trying to take readings of how much sunlight different areas inside and outside of my house get so that I can determine what vegetables can be planted in different places. A lot of the sunlight happens in hours when I’ll be sleeping, which is why a recording is particularly helpful. Right now, I’ve included a large physical clock in my videos but it is rather cumbersome and a bit hard to read. I can imagine when I’m trying to make time lapse videos that are for less utilitarian purposes, it could be really nice sometimes to have a more subtle clock.

In Lapse it. In the summary tab (The tabs are found on the bottom of the screen and are Summary/Editor/Effects/Soundtrack. There is an option for displaying timestamp. If it's not there, than it's either an update OR just a feature in the paid version?

Hey Scott, I have to shoot solar panels that follow the sun over a 12 hour period. What interval would you recommend?

Damn that sounds interesting! Anytime I shoot anything new that I’ve never done I err on the side of caution and shoot more than I think I’ll need. So I’d go a photo every minute. This would get you 720 photos. ( i normally aim for 10 seconds or 240 photos) 720 photos will get you about 30 seconds of Timelapse. You can then speed it up to be faster if needed but that’s a safe start.

@@ScottHerderok cool. Thanks for the reply!

I work on 300 frames as a starting point. It gives Yanks ten seconds of video, the rest of us a little more, and the arithmetic is easier. 300 seconds is 15 minutes, a quarter hour. It's not focal length you should be talking about, it's angle of view _in the finished video._ (That's underscored). I might shoot at 90 degrees (that's quite wide), but crop to 30 degrees (that's not so wide), and perhaps I can figure how to pseudo-pan so I have my 30 degree viewpoint moving across the entire imaged area. Angle of view is better than focal length as it's independent of sensor size and cropping in PP. The autistic in me thinks the shutter speed is likely 6mm/msec. Exposure duration is a useful measure of what's going on. The exposure duration vs interval gets hard to do when you are shooting long intervals. 12 hours for one frame per day? Panasonic says the longest recommended for one of my cameras is 15 minutes. I expect it gets a little warm.
