Whoops! Made an error. Colour profiles only apply to JPEGs or VIDEO not RAW files. Let me know what other tutorials you want to see & hit subscribe so you don't miss out on the next one 👍
You have mentioned several times to use the " 'timed shot'. It will give you multiple options" What setting do you recommend under multiple options ? For example you 5fps or 2fps or...? Thank you!
I've been flying my Mavic for a year and I never even gave a thought to using it to create a time lapse until I stumbled upon your video here. I appreciate what you taught me and I thank you. The video is concise and to-the-point. Well done.
That was a time lapse... a Hyper Lapse has a changing frame, aka the camera is moved at equal intervals of space while the shutter is open/closed at equal intervals of time. If the camera stays in the same position, then it is just a time lapse (whether it's from the top of Everest or shot from a hovering drone). You think there is camera shake when doing a time lapse like the one in this video, you should try stabilizing photos taken with a moving camera. Sorry if I come across harsh, it's just that real hyper lapses are hard via drones which is why I clicked on this video. Add to that ones that goes from sunset to dark and deal with changing light conditions. You really need to change the title of the video though. I did like your stationary drone time lapse though. Those ocean winds are tough to get stable footage in, yet if you pull it off (like you did), you get crazy wave and cloud action...
Great tutorial. I've been looking for a good explanation of how to do this and you hit it on the head. I just found out to that Resolve will automatically stich together photos into a video sequence without using that assembler program. All you have to do is drop the file, without opening the folder, just frop the whole folder into your media bin and it looks at it like it's a video file and boom it's there. Not sure if you were aware of that, I wasn't until I watched your video and went down the RUclips rabbit hole watching more videos on hyperlapse. Great job!
Thanks for the nice words mate. Appreciate it! I did not know about the timelapse feature in resolve!!? Must be new. Either way, I will check it out & will probably save me tonnes of time so thanks again!
I am just learning about Hyperlapse and this is the first tutorial of demo I have seen about it. I love the effect and other than being time consuming, it does not seem to be that hard to do. Now all I need to do is just learn basic video editing. Thanks for a tutorial that even a dummy like me can understand.
Nice tutorial. Quick word for correction. Raw files are Raw. The picture profile will only be applied to JPEG images not Raw. You edit Raw to your liking.
Nice easy tutorial. There's a lot of people that use DaVinchi but not a lot of people doing tutorials for it. Keep bringing out vids like this and I guarantee you'll get more views. Subed :)
Nice vid man. A small bit of advice, if you're still planning on editing the footage in another program, like you did in Resolve, don't export a JPG sequence as you're losing too much info. It's used more as a final codec than as an intermediate codec. You would be better off exporting as TIFFs from Lightroom and then export from Resolve or Premiere in your favourite delivery format like Quicktime or H.264. JPG is only 8bit and TIFF will be 16 bit so you transfer and protect so much more colour information through your pipeline/workflow. Especially if you do a bit more grading in Resolve instead of just stabilising it.
Loved the video very helpful. Would love a video on editing platforms what to use and how to use them. Recommendations. Urgently using GoPro studio but is very limited but user friendly.
It looks like you shot your stills in 16:9 format. If so, you are not getting the best results from your Mavic Pro as it's not using the full sensor, but is cropping the top and bottom. Only the 4:3 format produces 3992 x 2992 pixel images, the full resolution of the sensor. It's better to capture as much information as you can, and crop to taste later.
You did not tell about how are you taking the pictures at every 2 or 3 seconds while on a tripod or POI mode ? Im sure, no one would want to keep on manually clicking ?
StrandskovMedia hey mate, in the camera settings where you can select single shot, multiple, aeb etc you need to click on 'timed shot'. It will give you multiple options. Good luck
Jetspot Networks StrandskovMedia in the camera settings where you can select single shot, multiple, aeb etc you need to click on 'timed shot'. It will give you multiple options. Good luck
Nice video. I’d remove the section about putting it in d log or cine log. If you’re shooting in raw/DNG these styles have zero effect and are not relevant.
If you really want to learn how to do a hyperlapse with a drone, use video not photos. Videos make it so much smoother, if you don't believe me, check out my tutorial.
You can't push H264 footage anywhere near as far as you can with raw still images so if you decide to shoot in video make sure you get your image 99% correct in camera.
Question, is it as easy to stabilize the time-lapse from a horizontal drone motion as it is going either toward or away from a point of interest? How do you do so?
I must be missing something... the max. time for a drone to be airborne is what? 25-sh minutes... but, let say 20-25 mins. to be safe. A timelapse for many subject matters will take hours to get the full effect of slow moving actions to appear to be done in seconds. In your video you noted you had 282 images... which would equate to 9 secs at 30 frames/sec. or 11 secs. at 24 frames/sec. taking a pictures every 5 or so seconds. That would mean the subject matter would have a relatively fast moving action(s) in order for the timelapse to look like ... well, like timelapse. Therefore, the short air time really does limit the use of a drone for many types of timelapse where the action takes hours to complete and the full impact of what timelapse provides can be fulfilled. I guess the point of my post is... the best drone for hyperlapse or timelapse would be able to have a tether to supply the power... or a battery with a much longer life. At the moment, tethered drones do not have a high resolution photography capabilities (at least the last I looked - perhaps you know otherwise) ...and... additional battery life requires larger batteries which would make the drone too heavy. So... to make a timelapse that would be useful for subject matters that occur over hours (instead of minutes)... a RC Blimp set up with motors to control it's stability would still be the best option for any aerial timelapse (and it has severe limitations in winds). It seems, until drones can have sustainable air times that are in the hour ranges... timelapse for many subject matters will be limited. Nice hyperlapse and video btw...
Good points there mate, yes battery tech unfortunately isnt quite there yet. I had to do several sequences of the hyperlapse at different locations etc as they were so short.. plus mixing it in with normal shots to keep it interesting.
You can now purchase some pretty slick constant power supplies for the Inspire 2, Matrice 200 etc. www.riseabove.com.au/powerline-power-tether-system-for-drones
Would be really nice and portable if that worked with the Phantom.... :) But, I'm sure the weight of the tether would be a big limitation for a smaller drone.
Stay Sharp Facas I'm using a mac, you can edit 4k on any computer these days. Just edit using proxy files not original media. I'll make a tutorial on this 👍🏽
UAVisuals this is great, I have a powerfull PC and sometimes 4k can be heavy use for it. Using the actual footage, looking foward to seeing this proxy metho. Im New to editing so its a LOT to Learn!
This looks awesome.I do not have any of these programs because I am broke broke broke. I just have iMovie. :( Maybe one day when I can afford Lightroom or Premier Pro I can make one of these! Great tutorial... hypothetically since I can't try it out! LOL
question when you're capturing your footage in there a timelapse mode on your drone you use as you don't mention this at all in the video. I have a Mavic pro thanks
Hey mate, You are right! I missed adding this in the video. In the camera settings where you can select single shot, multiple, AEB etc you need to click on 'timed shot'. It will give you multiple options for time lapse interval shooting . Good luck!
hello. if i set the camera to take raw pictures it only lets me make 10 seconds intervals. i have the mavic pro. how can i change to 5 or 3 seconds intervals. thanks
Can you recommend me some settings that i cam use for doing a hyperlapse video using my Phantom 3 Standard? I also use Filmora to edit my videos so not sure if it has this feature
Hey man great video! One question do you take the pictures by yourself, like do you count and every like 5 seconds you hit the take picture button on your Mavic or is there a way to make my Mavic do it for me?
Hey mate, thank you. Sorry - something I should have included in the video! In the photo settings you can set it to take automatically. I'd recommend this rather than manually doing it.
But this isn't a hyperlapse.... This is a timelapse.... You even gave the definition of both timelapse and hyperlapse at the start.... Hyperlapses have a lot of movement in them (as in camera movement).
how do you call that sic? it is very shaky and your composition against the sun was not good at all!
Whoops! Made an error. Colour profiles only apply to JPEGs or VIDEO not RAW files.
Let me know what other tutorials you want to see & hit subscribe so you don't miss out on the next one 👍
Do you have a download for Time lapse assembler for windows or a good alternative?
Did you set a capture rate on drone in tripod mode , or did you just snap a photo every few seconds on your own? Great vid btw!
Hej dude, make a Tutorial Video about The Paralax Fx at minute 10:53. Looks awesome
Under photo there is a 'multiple' option which you can select to take photos automatically in intervals
You have mentioned several times to use the " 'timed shot'. It will give you multiple options"
What setting do you recommend under multiple options ? For example you 5fps or 2fps or...? Thank you!
Great video, clear, concise & the presenter is likeable and not overly hyped up like a lot of RUclips tutorial presenters out there. Great work.
Thanks mate, really appreciate the feedback! I plan to do more, so stay tuned!
Step by step as it comes. Thanks for the straight up video with no nonsense filler.
No worries. I know what you mean, too much junk out there.
I just followed this tutorial and produced my first time/hyperlapse successfully! Excellent guide, thank you so much.
Nice one! Send it over, id love to see it
@UAVisuals what editing software are you using? Can you send me the link pls thanks by the way keep it up man thanks for the vid
I use final cut pro for my main editing but any technical videos I use Adobe premier. www.apple.com/au/final-cut-pro/
I've been flying my Mavic for a year and I never even gave a thought to using it to create a time lapse until I stumbled upon your video here. I appreciate what you taught me and I thank you. The video is concise and to-the-point. Well done.

Hangs4Fun well said man
Just got my first drone, cant wait to start making videos like this love the tutorials!
Im only sub'd to a few youtubers and you are now one of them. Awesome vid mate. well done.

+ export in higher res than you want in the end because the stabilizing crops into the image...
Really like you instructional style! Thank you.
Nicely done man. Good job on the instruction.
Thanks for sharing, great video! :)
Greats Video Tutorial!
Thankyou a loot!
I whish you all the best!
Or you can upload all the files sequentially into Adobe Premiere Pro or AE and color grade in there. No need to edit in Lightroom first.
Fantastic tutorial mate! Very well explained.
High In The Sky thanks mate!
Very nice info! TY!!! Awesome videos sir!
Great work, really informative and helpful.
Can't wait to try this.
Let me know how it goes!
Very cool tutorial, but my opinion is that premiere pro warp stabilizer would work much more better.
Nice tut, but could you describe the drone shooting stage in more detail please?
Awesome tutorial man! Thanks a lot!!
Glad it helped!
Thanks ! Great tutorial :-)
Thank you for teach us !
Great video, just subbed and liked. Keep it up.
Again just amazing content
👍🏼
No worries 👍🏽
Awesome Tutorial !
Looks great, I have to go try that :-)
Thank you so much for this awesome video! You make it look really easy :)
hhaa, thanks, takes a bit of practice & time!
Pretty awesome shots .
Cheers mate
Loved the video very helpful. Would love a video on editing platforms what to use and how to use them. Recommendations. Urgently using GoPro studio but is very limited but user friendly.
+Terry Sparrowhawk Try download a trial version of final cut pro or davinchi resolve
UAVisuals thank you for the info I’ll give them a try
awesome mate
Really cool video
Excellent stuff... Keep it up buddy
Fuzz Rides cheers dude
Awesome video. Thanks for the info. What’s the monitor you’re using? Love the stand design.
Cheers mate. The brand is 'AOC'
Wow .... Nice job 👍
I can't wait to try this
+itravel2 x Cruz keen to see the results!
It looks like you shot your stills in 16:9 format. If so, you are not getting the best results from your Mavic Pro as it's not using the full sensor, but is cropping the top and bottom. Only the 4:3 format produces 3992 x 2992 pixel images, the full resolution of the sensor. It's better to capture as much information as you can, and crop to taste later.
All shots were taken in 4:3. The end result I added letterbox bars 😉✌🏽
You did not tell about how are you taking the pictures at every 2 or 3 seconds while on a tripod or POI mode ? Im sure, no one would want to keep on manually clicking ?
You are absolutely right! Can't believe I missed this. You will need to set it to take images automatically
which option did you use ? I dont think there is any option in P4P to take picture in each 2sec or 3 sec or 5sec
As Jetspot asked. How do you set it to take images automatically?
StrandskovMedia hey mate, in the camera settings where you can select single shot, multiple, aeb etc you need to click on 'timed shot'. It will give you multiple options. Good luck
Jetspot Networks StrandskovMedia in the camera settings where you can select single shot, multiple, aeb etc you need to click on 'timed shot'. It will give you multiple options. Good luck
Great video! Did you to push the shutter button once for every picture? Is there some automatic way to set up the interval between pictures?
Awesome thanks for the tips great video😎👍
AJ Alvarez no worries!
Great work
Mate this is worth the Sub....keep it up champ
Agreed & subbed - perfect timing for this.
Nice video. I’d remove the section about putting it in d log or cine log. If you’re shooting in raw/DNG these styles have zero effect and are not relevant.
Thanks! Yes, realised this after 😔
Can u do a video on how to set up the P4P to take the photos.
Good work bro
Thanks. Just found your stuff now, pretty useful. :-)
Thanks mate 👍🏽
well done bro
Could you describe which are the advantages in capturing photos instead a video for the hyperlapse? (I didn't understand completely this in the video)
+Guilherme Volpato Hey mate, I explained it in the video, basically gives you more dynamic range and data to work with when colour correcting
If you really want to learn how to do a hyperlapse with a drone, use video not photos. Videos make it so much smoother, if you don't believe me, check out my tutorial.
I believe you mate
If it isn't smooth using stills your exposure time is to short.
You can't push H264 footage anywhere near as far as you can with raw still images so if you decide to shoot in video make sure you get your image 99% correct in camera.
I suscribe right now !... cool !
Cool video, what's the instrumental song that you used in the opening? Would love to use it in a future video.
So did you do a hyperlapse in post, once you'd created that timelapse? Or did you set a POI and move around in the sky to create the hyperlapse?
Set a POI and move around to create a hyperlapse 👍🏽
Question, is it as easy to stabilize the time-lapse from a horizontal drone motion as it is going either toward or away from a point of interest? How do you do so?
sweet... next its mavic for me :-)
Best drone to use in your opinion?

Good points there mate, yes battery tech unfortunately isnt quite there yet. I had to do several sequences of the hyperlapse at different locations etc as they were so short.. plus mixing it in with normal shots to keep it interesting.
That's why you'd only shoot something with a decent amount of motion happening...
Yep.... like anything that could be shot in a 20 min. video ... sped up in fast motion.
You can now purchase some pretty slick constant power supplies for the Inspire 2, Matrice 200 etc. www.riseabove.com.au/powerline-power-tether-system-for-drones
Would be really nice and portable if that worked with the Phantom.... :) But, I'm sure the weight of the tether would be a big limitation for a smaller drone.
No problem if its a straight path or in POI mode... but how to adjust the camera view up/down during dronelapse? 🤔
+Hamidi Izwan Ahmad Soffian unfortunately the tilt was a done manually.. Very very slowly!
UAVisuals Wow! Really need patience and a lot of practice I guess 😅
Wich PC you are using to edit 4k? I dont have a budget just want something really good
Stay Sharp Facas I'm using a mac, you can edit 4k on any computer these days. Just edit using proxy files not original media. I'll make a tutorial on this 👍🏽
UAVisuals this is great, I have a powerfull PC and sometimes 4k can be heavy use for it. Using the actual footage, looking foward to seeing this proxy metho. Im New to editing so its a LOT to Learn!
I just got an MSI which I think is the cheapest among the machines with good capacity, nothing to complain, works amazing so far.
Why would you do this in that third party program when you could do it in premiere?
pictures look better for time-lapse
you prefer lightroom over adobe?
This looks awesome.I do not have any of these programs because I am broke broke broke. I just have iMovie. :( Maybe one day when I can afford Lightroom or Premier Pro I can make one of these! Great tutorial... hypothetically since I can't try it out! LOL
+Down the Wrabbit Hole download the trial versions give it a go! Or davinchi resolve is free!
I will! Thanks for the tips! This is such a cool effect, and your tutorial is super clear, so I really want to try it!
so the editing program you were using for this was final cut pro? thanks I'm a little new to this!
+blake bouldin Yes, I used final cut pro and also davinchi resolve.
Master ;)
How did you capture images at set intervals? Software in the DJI GO app?
Awesome video, new sub. PS. What monitor are you using? Can't see it listed in your kit list.
Thanks mate, monitor in 'AOC 27inch I2781FH Full HD IPS LED'. Love the slim design, but this one is only full HD not 4k.
I`m sorry... Could you share your desktop wallpaper with Inspire?
Would "stabilizer" work as in those shaky videos?
do you have a link where you downloaded the time lapse assembler
Exterior real estate photography
question when you're capturing your footage in there a timelapse mode on your drone you use as you don't mention this at all in the video. I have a Mavic pro thanks
Hey mate, You are right! I missed adding this in the video.
In the camera settings where you can select single shot, multiple, AEB etc you need to click on 'timed shot'. It will give you multiple options for time lapse interval shooting . Good luck!
hello. if i set the camera to take raw pictures it only lets me make 10 seconds intervals. i have the mavic pro. how can i change to 5 or 3 seconds intervals. thanks
+Marcos Cassab I did mine on a Phantom 4 Pro, it may have different options for interval settings.. 🤔
Can you recommend me some settings that i cam use for doing a hyperlapse video using my Phantom 3 Standard? I also use Filmora to edit my videos so not sure if it has this feature
Hey! You're aussie too!
Completely skipped the how to set the drone to actually capture, how long, hyperlapse settings, etc.
Hey man great video! One question do you take the pictures by yourself, like do you count and every like 5 seconds you hit the take picture button on your Mavic or is there a way to make my Mavic do it for me?
I'd like to know the answer to this too.
Hey mate, thank you. Sorry - something I should have included in the video! In the photo settings you can set it to take automatically. I'd recommend this rather than manually doing it.
i am still thinking that for how much does a drone stays in air 🙄
But this isn't a hyperlapse.... This is a timelapse.... You even gave the definition of both timelapse and hyperlapse at the start.... Hyperlapses have a lot of movement in them (as in camera movement).
What software do you use for computer desktop image capture for your tutorials?
Its through the free app on the mac 'Quicktime'
Do you need to press to take the picture at regular intervals or does the phantom software allow you to automate that?
There is a function where you can set intervals automatically. Look in the camera settings
Thanks, I didn’t know that as I rarely take pics with it.
What apple system and specs are you using? 😊
