View Full Version : Timelapse script Marcus Martell February 25th, 2009, 09:12 AM Hi guys, I'm at the point that next week i'll be shooting at a lake with the clouds floating... I'd like to make em fast in Vegas;wich settings should i use on my z1 hdv camcorder and wich script should i use in Vegas? thx a lot Don Bloom February 25th, 2009, 11:28 AM in Vegas you can insert a velocity envelope and go to 300%-then if that's not fast enough render the clip to DV-AVI and bring it back to the timeline and insert a velocity envelope at 300% repeat as needed. You can also go into the clip properties and change the playback rate. That with the velocity envelope will give you 400% speed increase. Marcus Martell February 25th, 2009, 11:43 AM Hey Don,i m talking about m2t files;i always do what u r suggesting me but I know there's a script!Please help me;ED do u know anything about that? Hubert Duijzer February 25th, 2009, 11:54 AM Ctrl-drag left to 400%, insert velocity envelop for another 300%. So that is 12 times faster. Don't forget to trim 2/3th of after the envelop. Save it as xx.veg, import the xx.veg and repeat. 144x is often fast enough. Edward Troxel February 25th, 2009, 12:02 PM In Excalibur, there's the Strobe tool that you could use to cut x frames keep y frames. Then you could use the gap/overlap tool to remove the gaps. I'm sure Ultimate S has something similar. Marcus Martell February 27th, 2009, 02:36 PM 2 HUB:400%?I thought the maximum was 300% ...i can't wait to go back home on tuesdat 2 try.... 2 my idol ED:for example i record 1 hour of clouds in the sky,then i put on the timeline;then if i had that Excalibur plugin how many clips should i leave and how many should i cut? thx a lot Edward Troxel February 27th, 2009, 02:46 PM Depends on how fast you want it. If you want it 4 times faster, cut 3 frames and leave 1 (or would that be cut 4 frames and leave 1?) Bottom line is that you can cut any amount out using this method meaning you could speed things up 2000x if you wanted. Hubert Duijzer February 27th, 2009, 02:53 PM 2 HUB:400%?I thought the maximum was 300% ... Yep, ctrl-drag gives you max. 4x faster and the velocity envelop is 3 times faster. Together is 12 times faster before rendering or nesting. Marcus Martell February 27th, 2009, 03:11 PM Any shutter suggestion 4 my z1? How much does it cost excalibur and where can i buy it?
