It was great! I follow your instruction and got the shot I wanted. Thanks for the tip. Now just how to export it as a quick time or some kind of video any suggestion
Very helpful re the steps for doing a time-lapse. I'm surprised that you didn't take 30 seconds to explain why you pick Av mode, your setting within Av, etc..
I created a number of time lapses using this method but when I go to import the time lapse just shows up as a CR2 file. I can play it on the camera as a time lapse. Any ideas about what I am doing wrong?
Hi Joel love your videos. Could y please do a video using the bulb mode along with the proper settings using the canon 5d mark 4. I have tried on my own with no success. Thanks. Scott.
Have you shot any day to night or night to day timelapses? If so how is exposure dialed in when the light is changing? Is there a setting that will adjust with the light changes?
I haven't. Based on my knowledge and experience with the time lapse feature, all shots will use the exposure settings of the first shot, so if you're shooting night to day or vice versa, you'll have under/overexposures.
I've owned this camera since release and never tried this. Always did my time lapses using the built-in intervelometer in photo mode. It obviously creates higher quality results because it shoots raw. I'm assuming this mode you showed is shooting jpgs? Great video. Thanks
Check your interval time (the amount of time between image captures in a time lapse). If the subjects in your frame are moving a lot, and your interval time is too high, the resulting time lapse may seem choppy. Decrease the interval time and that should help.
Does the camera convert all of the pictures taken into an MP4 video file? or do you have to stitch it together in an editing software?

In this mode the camera creates the video automatically but it won't save the stills. The 5D also has a mode for regular timelapse shooting with an internal intervalometer.
Great! Thanks for that Jeff. But I've read that you could also so this with an intervalometer. In that method you can edit on of the photos taken in the middle of the stack, do some post-processing then apply those changes to all of the photos, but you would have to run it through some other software to get time lapse flow. Is there a way to do some post-processing on the method?
Hey +Florian Cortese, You can definitely do it with an intervalometer, or even via the built-in Interval Timer feature on the 5DmkIV. With this feature you set how many shots you want, and how much time between shots, and the camera will take actual photos, rather than outputting a video file. With the file that is produced via the time lapse feature (a video file), I do any post work in Adobe Premiere, rather than Photoshop or Lightroom, but you're correct that the intervalometer (or Interval Timer) option gives you more control on a frame-by-frame basis for editing.
Joel Gaff, Jr Ah, I think I am beginning to see the light! 😎 I was just about to ask how you put the 300 shots into a timelapse after you have taken them but after reading this it seems as though the camera does it for you - is that correct? If so, do you have to be in jpeg mode?
+Willnot Betracked that's correct! When you make the time lapse as described above, you'll get a time-lapse movie. The file that is created in camera is a move file (I think .mov if I remember correctly off the top of my head).
Most Importantly, can you, or, will the camera, shoot time lapse movies at night (like milky way) when your shooting 15-30 second shots, wide open aperture, high ISO, 5 second intervals?
I haven't tried any night time lapses with this camera, but in theory If you can keep your shutter at or faster than 1/30 you should be able to do it, but that may be tricky to do, even tweaking aperture and ISO.
Awesome! Thank you my friend ! By the way, love the background music very much, is that a free copyright music or where can I purchase it for my video clip ?
Since it is using video mode, it limits the maximum exposure duration as if not shooting time-lapse. E.g. if shooting 29.97 fps ... it wont let you select a shutter speed longer than 1/30th. To do what you want, you'll want to use the intervalometer (take it out of Movie mode and use Photo mode). The built-in intervalometer will let you set exposures up to 30 seconds. If you want to shoot longer, you'll need an external intervalometer and these will let you set exposures as long as you want. Longer exposures will result in elongated stars (unless you have a motorized tracking head for your tripod).
you mentioned that you leave the lcd off, but the camera disables the lcd during timelapse movie and intervalometer modes - definitely bad features of this camera - and you just pretend like this is a choice you made?
5dmkiv rocks!! Thanks, didn't realise this was built into this body, great workhorse camera just got even better!
Thanks Mr.Joel for that detail presentation 5D mk4 is a fantastic camera
Thanks man. Really helpful video
Thanks man.... can't wait to try this on my 5D Mark IV
Does the iso and seconds in crease as it goes along so if you were shooting from day to night
Great demo and tutorial. brand new 5d mk iv, well done.
Thanks for the tut. After watching a few others and not really learning it, you explained it well. Kudos.
+Shane Irwin thanks!!
Thank you so much! 👍🏻 helpful video 😀

any suggestion
Super, thanks! Very comprehensive and to the point!

What is the settings for the pizza tl.?

Hey scott loiacono, thanks for watching and I'm so glad you find them helpful! I'll see if I can do something down the road on bulb mode.

Great video thanks for the help.
Excellent tutorial. BTW, I did not hear clicking sound of the shutter in this mode. Does it mean there is no actual shutter actuation ??
Hey +samacochan! You won't hear the shutter in this mode, but it's still shooting!
this is why the video one gives smoother results than the photo way of doing it. As the shutter creates micro movement causing slight issues.
I’m guessing 3 second intervals is a good time to make it smooth?
Nice been very helpful.
Very good thank you 👍
nice! thanks so much! so much easier than using the intervalometer and processing raw images! cheers from CA! - Stephen
Thanks. Nice and straight forward.
Thanks, +Halunlimited!
Thanks
Thanks for the video. However you did not explain what you do to dim the LCD screen to save battery power. thanks!
where in the settings can you turn off the lcd screen?
Does this affect shutter count?
finally got it. thanks for the awesome video!
Thanks,very clear & useful.

Pretty sure they're jpg with the timelapse feature, so yeah, if you want higher quality, def use the intervalometer.
Mr. Director do you combine the raw files in adobe premiere?
سپاسگزارم بابت ویدئو خوبتون
I shot a timelapse on my 6dmark ii but it turns out to be choppy. What possibly could be the reason?
Check your interval time (the amount of time between image captures in a time lapse). If the subjects in your frame are moving a lot, and your interval time is too high, the resulting time lapse may seem choppy. Decrease the interval time and that should help.
If we make 4 day long time lapse will ut damage camera
Does the camera convert all of the pictures taken into an MP4 video file? or do you have to stitch it together in an editing software?

@@joelgaff No won't work because the iSO will only go up to 6400 for this time lapse method. Even at 4 secs I use an ISO 8000 for aurora photos.
Thank you.
tried it today and messed up because I changed the mode after setting it. I will try tomorrow again.
Awesome, thanks mate.
Perfect, thank you!
+Jill Anderson So glad you found it helpful!
Awesome! Thank you my friend ! By the way, love the background music very much, is that a free copyright music or where can I purchase it for my video clip ?
THX mate!
How many pf in this time lapse video? 24p or 30p?and 4K is it?
For NSTC it shoots 1080 / 29.97fps, PAL is 25 fps
What is needed for Time Lapse *WITH* Long exposure? To see stars move across the sky?
Since it is using video mode, it limits the maximum exposure duration as if not shooting time-lapse. E.g. if shooting 29.97 fps ... it wont let you select a shutter speed longer than 1/30th.

Thank you that helped
Glad it helped, +Andre Clayden!
Hi brother im from india i want second hand 5d mark4 camera,
Yayyy Portland!
Hi
Thank you, just saved me from buying another intervalometer.
you mentioned that you leave the lcd off, but the camera disables the lcd during timelapse movie and intervalometer modes - definitely bad features of this camera - and you just pretend like this is a choice you made?
you should probably turn off IS on your lens before shooting a time lapse - just saying, I see that camera shake in a few shots
The most stupid thing in this mode is that you can't make long exposures
Why the stupid backwards hat?
It de-legitimizes you!
+Terme Bergamo lol thx I like that hat!
