Another Adobe application where you can assemble time lapses is Adobe After Effects. It gives a lot of control, both over time as well as things like temporal smoothing and even third party filters for adjusting for flicker. Author Richard Harrington demo
- When I shot the time lapse sequence,…the frames were oversized.…Now, on the export from camera RAW to the TIF file,…I did a down convert to make it smaller.…But, I could've left this at full size…and had lots of extra pixels.…Still though, I have more than twice the number…of pixels I need.…Let's add a camera move here.…This can be easily done using the transform controls.…If you don't see those for the individual layer,…just twirl down the controls and then twirl down transform.…
What I suggest is you use the anchor point property…and the scale property.…The anchor point is essentially the middle…or the point of interest within the frame.…I've set my initial keyframes…and now as I get towards the end,…I can adjust scale to move in a little bit.…And if I adjust the anchor point,…you see it essentially pans across the image.…This creates a very smooth movement…and makes it simple to create a nice animated move.…
Now, if we go back to the beginning and press play,…it creates an animated movement on the shot.…Now, obviously, you can adjust the speed of this…
