TIMELAPSE QUESTION

Its hard for me to get the right wording for this question, but I just bought an intervalometer so I can do timelapses easier. I was curious after taking the pictures how do i get them into final cut to edit it there. Thanks!

i usually batch edit the photos in lightroom first

then put them in a folder in numerical order (which comes out like that straight from the camera)

open up quicktime 7 in mac

file ->image sequence -> select a photo in the folder-> once it creates the file go to file->export and choose 1280/720 or whatever size you want ->export in 24fps/30fps/60fps

hope that helps
 
I use Timelapse Assembler. I don't know if it's also for Windows though.

What I do:

- Batch process in LR

- Export at 1080 pixels

- Load in to the Assembler

- Choose coded/format. Hit convert.

And you're done. Super easy.
 
i dont often shoot raw, but when i have i edited them in lightroom and exported the raw into jpeg ->quicktime

Hey man heres a great video he does one with a Canon DSLR and uses Quicktime and Final Cut. Really good tips in here!
 
nope, i disagree with all previous posts

i'd say go with the lrtimelapse way. it's lightroom + lrtimelapse, a free program (http://lrtimelapse.com/), but you have much more workability than just lightroom because you can ramp the settings between keyframes, so if you do a shot from day to night, you can set the settings for when it's day as well as at night, then it will automatically ramp between the two for a very smooth looking timelapse where you can maximize your ability to get the most out of your images. also, you can use "deflicker" which will remove any flickers from adjusting exposures, which, in turn, enables you to also shoot timelapses in modes like "P", not just "M".

this summer i used lrtimelapse and lightroom together and they were damn helpful:
