So my first experiment today was a 2 1/2 hour video set at 4k, a shot every 4 seconds aimed at my bird feeder. This made a 1 min:30 second video. It looked great I think. My battery still shows full charge which is great and the file was almost 5 GB which is way more than I want. I’m not sure if the 4k means anything?

I’m now set up in my window pointing at the sky for a 4 hour video set on 1080. I want to see what the 1080 setting does over 4 hours to the file size.

This is a time lapse I did sometime ago. I think I took like 650 frames. Thought it was my D850 but I think it was my D810.

Great job! I’m hoping mine will turn out somewhat like this.

Is it time lapse "video" or are you going to shoot "frames"?
I think you mentioned something about doing the frame approach.
I only ask because when I got my D850 I played with that feature. It's on. YouTube. I'll see if I can find the link.


I’m wondering if there is a difference in the two? My Canon R6ii has a time lapse option when in video mode. Lets you choose the seconds between shots and number of shots which is capped at 3600. At the end it puts it together into a 2 minute video.

I could also do interval shots in photo mode but I’d probably have to put it together in Final Cut to be a video but I’m not sure. So far I have only experimented with the video side.

Do you have a camera store that rents equipment? May just want to rent a video camera.


Nothing local but I have a full frame Canon R6ii and it does time lapse. I’m just trying to work out settings.

Have you considered using an iPhone?


I have used my IPhone for short time lapse stuff but I wouldn’t be able to tie it up for 8-10 hour days for several days. It’s a great idea though.

Here is what I have done. I did a time lapse on the construction of our cabin in Colorado. Mt intervalometer (homebuilt) was set for one shot every 15 seconds. It would run for about eight hours shooting .jpg files. That went on for about 30 days. It didn't do to bad.

After I bought my Canon EOS t-6, still no built in intervalometer, but I did purchase an external one for about $30. I did a time lapse of a Christmas cactus blooming here in Arizona. I set the interval for one second, used .jpg files again, using a 64gb card the amount of frames available was 9999. I just set it up on a tripod, framed my shot turned everything on and let it do its thing. As far as exposure went, I used aperture priority and auto focus. It ran for eight hours non-stop and it was a good thing as there were only about 30-45 seconds of usable frames of the actual blooming. Don't be afraid to "over shoot", the more frames the smoother the final product. I then assembled everything in Apple's Final Cut Pro X. Hope this helped, and good luck, I'd like to know ho things turned out for you>

Thank you for all this info. Very helpful. I like the idea of more is better and smoother. I will be sure to update this thread once I have a day of footage captured.

Pay attention to your camera power. Will one, in body battery suffice? Access to a grip for double? Potentially AC powered?


This is one of my unknowns for sure. I’m thinking Christmas Day I’ll just set it up at home and see how long it will run. I have 6 batteries but no grip or AC so I’m anticipating changing batteries and I’m hoping to only have to do it maybe at lunch break.

I don’t care to have to stop the recording and have a bunch of files, I’ll be editing in Final Cut Pro anyways.

I have shot several in camera time lapse videos with a Nikon D850; there is no default frame rate setting in that camera, the operator has to input everything. Things to consider include shifts in lighting during shooting the time lapse; using manual focus and full manual for consistency; and....make sure you have a fully charged battery, among other things. I have shot multiple time lapse videos that typically begin late afternoon and finish well after sunset so know the challenge of the change in lighting. I would practice as much as possible. In my cases it got pretty boring sitting there while the D850 did its business. And overstating the obvious, shoot from a safe and secure location; in my case I was at a park that was open 24 hours a day; safety is a concern these days when you are by yourself and have easily $5K in equipment on a tripod visible for most anyone in the neighborhood to notice.

My lighting should be pretty consistent since I will have my camera set up on a stage pointing out towards where the audience would be sitting and all the theatre lights will be on while we work to remove and disassemble over 500 seats. I will be on the crew working so I’ll always be within sight distance of my camera.

lets see, one pic a minute, thats 60 in an hour and 600 for 10 hours.
broadcast TV is 24 frames per second thats a 25 second clip. if its a 4 day job thats 100 seconds.
is that too much? too little.
personally Id do every 15 seconds. which is 2400 per hour. making a 100 sec video. which you could then shorten


I like the 15 second idea. I’m gonna try to experiment a bit before the 28th. My director would probably like no more than a 4-5 minute video of the entire job.

The demo part of the project I’m thinking 2 days with a crew of 6-8. It’s the installation of the new seats is my concern.

I was told that’s gonna take the outside company 2 weeks. Not sure if some of that is planning the layout and seat wiring and won’t need filming or what the plan is but I will need to start filming when the seats start going in.

I’d love to grab one of the cameras you linked to but I’d never get it approved and delivered before we start demo on the 28th of this month.

I worked out a Excel time lapse calculator a few years ago. I can email it to you if you send me an address.


Love this, very helpful. I’d love a copy if you don’t care. rickm23@icloud.com

I have been ask to do a time lapse video of a big theatre demo/redo and my main question is how many photos to set my camera to take per minute as my Canon R6ii lets you choose. It seems like it defaults to a photo every 3 seconds but this seems like way too many considering the crew will be working 10hr days.

We basically want to show over 500 seats being removed, taken apart then at a later date all the new seats going back in.

Any advice is much appreciated.

It only costs 'time' to find and read the Adobe published software support for each camera RAW. Utube is just a snapshot in time, as in specifically when the video was captured, edited and posted. Adobe site's will always be more accurate and up-to-date.


I’ll go look and see if I can find anything, did a call and chat both with Samsung but they are clueless.

The latest Adobe softwares support "CR3" files, in the general sense. But, every RAW file is unique from every camera. The file extensions are just a generalization for each brand of camera. So, the CR3 of an EOS R3 is distinct and different from the CR3 file from an EOS R10. Adobe has to update their software to process each of these CR3 files from each distinct camera model. You can review the Adobe.com site and find the minimum LR / PS software needed for each unique camera model. Then, confirm that software version operates on your target mobile device.

Had no idea about the different .CR3 files for each camera, I’m running the R6ii currently and LR on my IPad has no issue but I have seen a YouTube video showing a guy having to do a work around to get his cr3 files into LR. He had the Galaxy Tab 8 Ultra which is a year older than today’s model. I hate returning stuff but I may just order it and if I have issues then back it can go.
