Great tutorial. I will be coming back many times for future reference. For my ease and others, here are handy segment timestamps: Overall video intro: 0:00 Suggested camera settings: 0:28 Lightroom: 1:24 Intro of After Effects & Premiere: 10:07 After Effects: 10:39 Premiere: 20:07
this was really helpful. I shot a time-lapse on my a7s just for practice in lockdown and now i've got skills on 3 new programs. thanks a lot man, subscribed for sure!
I am glad you talked 8:17 about cropping.... i.e. waiting to AE or Premiere to do so. As a newbie, looking at all these youtubers saying they do the cropping in LR (or Photoshop) I figured that was the only option. I didn't know or think it was an option to keep the photos uncropped then crop the ratio later in the video editing software...thanks much for explanation.
Great information, appreciate you taking the time to teach us. You had peaked my interest when you mentioned day to night timelapses lol, would love to see how you shoot and edit those. I've done a couple but have had trouble shooting it or processing it.
Good stuff! I'd love to hear more about the camera settings when you capture the ''sunset to night'' or dark to light timelapses since Im struggling with that. Cheers
Like others, I'd also like to see a video on capturing and editing day to night sequences. More simply, I'd like to know how to add panning (as well as zooming) effects when editing. Thanks for a nice video.
Appreciate this tutorial video but what if we take photo timelapse from Sunset to Nightfall plus the Milky way appears after that? How should we do with all the settings on camera and LR image adjusting? Please share the entire process if you may ...
I would love to see a tutorial how you are doing some color adjustments when you are using 2 different kind of cameras. what about other software like lrtimelapse etc.? But good job i am a huge fan of timelapse tutorials.
do i need to save it before exporting it to AE? when I add it to the media encoder queue the program loads, and i can find the folder that all of the pictures were in, but i cant find the actual file that I'm trying to export
I enjoy your vlogs and tutorials, thanks. For Mac users who don't want to pay for (and learn) Premiere Pro or After Effects, could you please do a video on how to create timelapse videos using only Lightroom, Photoshop (if necessary for rendering), and iMovie? If you consider iMovie inadequate for this purpose, viewers might still be interested to learn exactly why you think it's inadequate. Thanks.
Biggest issue I have is smoothing out exposures if my light is changing. I don't know if there's a way to fix that in camera during shooting or during post.
Try LR Timelapse, its a little more advanced in its functionality with Lightroom. But if you have done some timelapse editing in the past it should be easy to learn. IT can help you de flicker exposure bumps.
Hi there, great video, do you have any advise on how to insert a specific foreground image that is not present in any of the 300+ images being used for the timelapse? Example: I have the 300+ images of the Orion Constellation moving from the top of my camera frame to the bottom. Now I want to add a foreground image so it looks as if the constellation is "setting" like a sunset on the horizon of a cliff over a lake. The point I want to make with this time lapse video is that due to light pollution, we do not get to see images like this, but if we eliminated light pollution, we could see Orion set on the horizon. That's the purpose.
Really awesome and nice tutorial!! Really a joy to watch and I already learned a lot! Thanks for that! 🙌 😊 I would be interested in how you deflicker shots if there is some flickering? What is your opinion on lrtimelapse since you're not using it? I thought it would be the way to go...thanks in advance and I can't wait for more :)
Is there a way to add .xmp to files to the original images, similar to what camera raw does, so I don't have to export so many .jepgs (which adds a lot of files to my HD and takes more time? I can't find a way to do it in lightroom. Thanks
Can you recommend ND filters? I heard Lee filters are the best but also quite pricey, do you have any suggestions for other brands that do just as good?
I’ve been using Capture One and DaVinci Resolve using a similar process. I’m curious how you handle a Milky Way time lapse like in your other video. How do you make the Milky Way pop as it moves across the sky? Are you using a local adjustment and moving frame by frame? Is that accomplished using LR Timelapse? Thanks!
Thanks a lot for a easy to understand tutorial. Great job! One question. What are the limitations to AE compared to for example LRTimelapse? Or can they do the same?
Thx for your useful tutorial . I have a question to ask that Is any method to deflicker in Ae and Pr? The flicker is pretty annoying when I shooting day to night timelapse with A mode.
Hi Michael, love your timelapses and how you make them, just wondering how do you decide whether you are going to shoot a timelapse or a take a single photograph when on location. Thanks
Cool! Do you have any information what is best render settings for windows? I export raw to jpeg in lightroom with resolution 300. After this I import photos to Adobe Premiere and render it in h.264 in full hd and if I dont usr some super high bitrate so it looks terribly bad 😞. And I want to upload it to youtubr so I need quite low bitrate. Thank you
Thanks! Instagram does not really go by max bitrate to my knowledge, I think they compress based on overall file size. So regardless of the video length I try to keep the max file size down to 10-20 mb, that has been working out really well quality wise for me.
Hi Michael, great tutorial and very helpful. Have you ever had problems with the rendered video appearing brighter/undersaturated when you've played it back in QuickTime or any other media player afterwards?
If I am going to edit the timelapses more or include them in a film I use Prores 422 or 4444 on max quality. But for RUclips I just use their recommended export which is I believe 40mbps for 4K.
Michael or any fans that know where to look - Do you have a video or can you direct me? I'm looking to edit a timelapse with video and not photos taken over 90 days. Same camera position for the most part.
Hi Michael, been following your Instagram for a long time and only just stumbled on your videos. Great video Man. Couldn't find anything on holy grails on your channel. Just had a quick question, do you use lrtimelapse in your workflow to tackle flickering?
Your footage always looks smooth as butter, whilst mine is kind of jumpy. I shoot and edit for 24 FPS. May I ask what's your average interval between shots? Or is that FPS count that matters?
This is awesome man, I'm a big fan of your work! Just a quick question - are you converting your raw files to .dngs? I've found that LR still can't read my A7Sii .arw files.

Very informative. Thank you very much for this training
I am from Iran . I follow your teachings very much
Really useful tutorial. I haven't used Adobe Premiere before, but could follow along well. Thank you Michael!
this was really helpful. I shot a time-lapse on my a7s just for practice in lockdown and now i've got skills on 3 new programs. thanks a lot man, subscribed for sure!
I would really love to see a tutorial on how you edit your sunset and sunrise photos! They always have lovely colours
Francesco Dall'Olmo Me too :D
same!
Really well paced and explained. Thanks so much for this tutorial. Just subscribed.
Very, very great tutorial! The best one I could find! Thank you!
Great tutorial, Michael! Many thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'd love to see a behind the scenes video of you working in the field.
I am glad you talked 8:17 about cropping.... i.e. waiting to AE or Premiere to do so.

Thanks so much Michael! This was really helpful :) A tutorial for shooting a day to night timelapse would be awesome. Greetings from Germany ✌🏻😁
That one is on my list. But it would probably be a 1.5 to 2 hour tutorial that I would host on my site.
Nice! 😍 I'm looking forward to it.
Great information, appreciate you taking the time to teach us. You had peaked my interest when you mentioned day to night timelapses lol, would love to see how you shoot and edit those. I've done a couple but have had trouble shooting it or processing it.
Very helpful tutorial. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome Michael! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! Have a good day!
Thanks much for the tutorial Michael, hope to see a few more particularly around color grading.
So happy to see another video of yours! Thanks :)
You display a wealth of knowledge with Adobe. I understand a little more of their amazing products. Adobe has always seemed daunting, to me.
Thank you for this tutorial. Using this for hyperlapses with my new Mavic Air 2!
Glad it was helpful! :)
Thank you very much to share all these advices with us !
Amazing video. would love to see how you create mood in your sunrise and sunset.
Appreciate your tutorials and your work!
Thanks man! This was great. Your work is impressive!
Great tutorial!! very useful tips especially around the export process in After Effects! many thanks for that and keep it up!!
Nice video - my request is for a tutorial on how you composite your blue hour/twilight shots with either the milky way or stars.
You do beautiful work. Thank you for the tips
Used your tutorial to edit a time-lapse I did of the Milkyway! Thanks Man!
its funny after so many years, I finally understand these types of videos
now if i can only get enough money for a good camera lol
Thank u to share ur knowledge! amazing work
Nice tutorial ...thanks!
Good stuff! I'd love to hear more about the camera settings when you capture the ''sunset to night'' or dark to light timelapses since Im struggling with that.
Cheers
You can try LR Timelapse app to solve this problem, good luck
Excellent work man ... U rock
I love the hard drive name: "Newshit" haha, love your work mate
Thanks for the tips on which sliders cause Flicker as I have been struck with some of my time lapses with flicker and not being able to workout why ?
Like others, I'd also like to see a video on capturing and editing day to night sequences. More simply, I'd like to know how to add panning (as well as zooming) effects when editing. Thanks for a nice video.

I would love to see a tutorial how you are doing some color adjustments when you are using 2 different kind of cameras.
what about other software like lrtimelapse etc.?
But good job i am a huge fan of timelapse tutorials.
I would like a starry hyperlapse tutorial with the panning done in After effects. I always wanted to do one of those 🌌
My premiere doesnt pull all the images in for the sequence. I'm on windows, even with sequence option clicked it just pulls one file.
thx for the easy explanation...
hey, doing same video tutorial but this time Day to night with camera sitting and show all process start to end Plz..
Great
Nice tutorial ! Keep going on !
Excellent! Thank you 👍😉
do i need to save it before exporting it to AE? when I add it to the media encoder queue the program loads, and i can find the folder that all of the pictures were in, but i cant find the actual file that I'm trying to export
That was very helpful! Thanks :)
Hyperlapse ~ what time do you set ? 10second??
Why not export via the “slideshow” tab
Sooo.. What do you do about flickering?
I enjoy your vlogs and tutorials, thanks. For Mac users who don't want to pay for (and learn) Premiere Pro or After Effects, could you please do a video on how to create timelapse videos using only Lightroom, Photoshop (if necessary for rendering), and iMovie? If you consider iMovie inadequate for this purpose, viewers might still be interested to learn exactly why you think it's inadequate. Thanks.
great, thank you
The Apple pro res 4444 is for high quality exports but is that file supportetd by RUclips or do is it have to be h.264
Do you ever use time interpolation in Pr? Such as frame blending or optical flow.
would you recommend After Effects or Premier for doing your time-lapse videos? If you could only have one?
Thank you! ♥
Can it be done on lightroom app on mobile?
Biggest issue I have is smoothing out exposures if my light is changing. I don't know if there's a way to fix that in camera during shooting or during post.
Try LR Timelapse, its a little more advanced in its functionality with Lightroom. But if you have done some timelapse editing in the past it should be easy to learn. IT can help you de flicker exposure bumps.
If the cost wasn't so bad I'd get it

hi, what is the shutter speed? 1/30s or highter?
Is there a way to add .xmp to files to the original images, similar to what camera raw does, so I don't have to export so many .jepgs (which adds a lot of files to my HD and takes more time? I can't find a way to do it in lightroom. Thanks
Awesome. Waited for that:D
Are you always export from Lightroom compressed JPEG files to work in Premiere or this is just to make it easy for tutorial?
Can you recommend ND filters? I heard Lee filters are the best but also quite pricey, do you have any suggestions for other brands that do just as good?
Hi! Love the work you do, I was wondering how many pictures you are taking in each interval. Always wanted to make a time lapse!
I’ve been using Capture One and DaVinci Resolve using a similar process. I’m curious how you handle a Milky Way time lapse like in your other video. How do you make the Milky Way pop as it moves across the sky? Are you using a local adjustment and moving frame by frame? Is that accomplished using LR Timelapse? Thanks!
Did you add extra memory to your macbook pro???? On mine this would take days........
Hi Michael, what do you think of the LRTimelapse program? Have you tried it in your Timelapse work?
Thanks a lot for a easy to understand tutorial.
Great job!
One question. What are the limitations to AE compared to for example LRTimelapse?
Or can they do the same?
Thx for your useful tutorial . I have a question to ask that Is any method to deflicker in Ae and Pr? The flicker is pretty annoying when I shooting day to night timelapse with A mode.
Is it possible to do this with Final Cut instead of After Effects?
It’s definitely possible, but I couldn’t tell you how. I am sure there is a Final Cut tutorial here on YT though.
Xlnt info, Thanks!
Hi Michael, love your timelapses and how you make them, just wondering how do you decide whether you are going to shoot a timelapse or a take a single photograph when on location. Thanks

And I want to upload it to youtubr so I need quite low bitrate. Thank you
I use photoshop! Am I doing it wrong? I still can make a time-lapse but am I missing out on something by not using AE or Premiere?
As always amazing videos and great photos. Dont you use LRtimelapse? It's a great tool with such more features?
Thanks, yes but not for a basic timelapse such as this one. I only use LR Timelapse if there is drastic change in light or color.
I realy love the quality your videos are in instagram such a crisp one's , what bitrate you use to maintain good quality ?
Thanks! Instagram does not really go by max bitrate to my knowledge, I think they compress based on overall file size. So regardless of the video length I try to keep the max file size down to 10-20 mb, that has been working out really well quality wise for me.
Michael Shainblum thanks a lot man, keep up the good work 🌹👍👍
thank u!!!
Would you recommend anything specific for exporting for Instagram?
Trying to do a timelapse in LR with 13,000 jpgs, LR keeps choking on it.
Hi Michael, great tutorial and very helpful. Have you ever had problems with the rendered video appearing brighter/undersaturated when you've played it back in QuickTime or any other media player afterwards?
Nice video, thanks for posting. Do you always go raw -> jpeg -> prores? Or ever raw -> prores?
Which Bitrate do you use to export?
If I am going to edit the timelapses more or include them in a film I use Prores 422 or 4444 on max quality. But for RUclips I just use their recommended export which is I believe 40mbps for 4K.
Michael or any fans that know where to look - Do you have a video or can you direct me? I'm looking to edit a timelapse with video and not photos taken over 90 days. Same camera position for the most part.
Thanks for the info, Michael! What were your interval settings?
Thanks! Every 2 seconds for this shot.
Hi Michael, been following your Instagram for a long time and only just stumbled on your videos. Great video Man. Couldn't find anything on holy grails on your channel. Just had a quick question, do you use lrtimelapse in your workflow to tackle flickering?
Great vid. I'm just a beginner. Is that your usual workflow? I've been using LRTimelapse and Lr only.
Your footage always looks smooth as butter, whilst mine is kind of jumpy. I shoot and edit for 24 FPS.
May I ask what's your average interval between shots? Or is that FPS count that matters?
An aspect ratio of 16:9 when time-lapsing, Michael?
Banff is paradise
import time
14:45-15:02
This is awesome man, I'm a big fan of your work! Just a quick question - are you converting your raw files to .dngs? I've found that LR still can't read my A7Sii .arw files.
Strange, maybe there is a Lightroom update. I think my Lightroom reads the A7Sii files just fine.
"double four, double four" much easier ;)
sorry....its Moraine Lake :)
Thank you!
