The camera is set up in the back, looking out over the valley below. Sunset is about 8 p.m. and I’ll let the camera run until 10 p.m.
I’ll get a few thousand shots, transfer them to a computer folder, then open that folder with DaVinci Resolve’s incredible editor.
In Resolve’s Media Editor page, you can set Frame Display Mode to Individual or Sequence.
Individual will show every shot, regardless of how many. I had 8000 frames in one timelapse that ran for 12 hours.
Sequence will show a single “stitched together” clip that includes all the individual frames.
Either way, the outcome can be spectacular.
The current setup is only going to run for 3 hours. Doing the math, I’m shooting one frame every 8 seconds, so that’s 7 shots in 56 seconds, which I’ll just round up to one minute.
There are 180 minutes in three hours… so 180 x 7 = 1,260 shots. That’s what I’ll work with, and probably create an Aesop’s Fable from this evening’s shoot.
