When I render my timelapse in the timeline using the two plugins, I get these green and yellow blocks jumping all over the image. Is this a rendering option problem? can't seem to find a fix. Any ideas? Thanks FCP version 6 Magic Bullet Looks 1.0 CHV time-collection4 Mac Pro running 10.5.8 Hey Philip,

Thanks for teaching me an effective and easy way to do timelapse with my Canon 5D mark II. I make nightclub videos for the hottest nightclub in LA (XIV) and I'm implementing timelapse! check out my latest!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o79p7ODndo0&feature=channel Hey Philip,

Despite of this, I have a lot of flicker effect... Useless ! What have i done wrong ? Which mode do you select in order the DSLR calculate the exposure : evaluating metering, partial metering, spot metering, center-weiighted average ? Thanks for your answer and your very inspiring work...

Do I apply it to all the stills in my timelapse sequence or can it only be applied to a video sequence of stills made in QT7 for example? Thanks in advance.

But unfortunately it does not work with RAW. This makes sense thinking about your comment here. I am just a little irritated because above you mentioned that you prefer to shoot the stills for time lapse in RAW. How do you handle the pictures in the RAW format? Thanks in advance.

Im guessing had I set my iso to auto and set my camera to AV I would have had better results. Im stuck in North Sweden for work so I have time to point my camera out the window and shoot.. 8) shot using a canon intervelometer and my new canon G11.. I've now learned that if I plug in the mini USB/AV cables it disables the screen but doesnt reset me back to autofocus, which is what happens if you simply turn the screen off. But its all about making mistakes and learning. huh? thanks for all the indepth information. Heres another attempt with a different technique.. shot on my canon 7D 12 mins of 720p video sped up in premiere at x2500% came out rather ok. except for the smudge on my lens. 8( http://vimeo.com/9636355 Hi Philip

I have a client who wants a time lapse of 3 hours combined with a 360 pan in a 20 sec film. I was thinking of making a big disc like a turntable with all the degrees on it with a foto-tripodhead in the centre and then turn the camera manualy 1 degree every 20 seconds and making 1 shot each turn. Would this work? All based on a very thight construction. Thanx for your time. Dear Phillip, love your work, it has taken my career to a next step:-) THX 4 all!!
