Indeed. Any suggestions?

I always end up going back to whatever I've got installed from Adobe CS because half of the editors out there seem completely shit, or can't handle HD/H264 properly. Or maybe I haven't looked into this enough.

Unfortunately (for you, not me), I use FCP, so that doesn't help. But any of the main Windows competition (Premiere, Vegas etc) should have demo or laddish versions to play with. bastard by name, bastard by nature

Did you deliberately pan around a bit?

I'm planning on doing something similar when I go on a road trip to Germany in July.

Only at one bit, the rest is down to the camera not being mounted on anything and occasionally having to be pushed back into position :$

I thought as much :D

I'm hoping to commandeer my girlfriends old HTC Wildfire to mount in the car in a reasonable position. I'm thinking a photo per minute. I'd love to do every 10 seconds or something to create something a bit smoother but I think that would be a bit ridiculous to sort afterwards.

I did one per 10 seconds and it's waaaay too slow.

Ideally I'd just take a video of the drive and then speed it up, the gaps (especially at 60-70-80mph) are just too big other wise.

Hmm. I might reduce the resolution of the photos so they're just above 1920 wide. 10 seconds too slow, going to need a big memory card :S

Definitely something I need to test out beforehand.

I had my 400D set to "medium" quality and I ended up with about 1,600 photos from the drive, taking up 2.65GB of the 4GB card.

Definitely need to do a test. Already got a phone tripod mount, going to get a camera windscreen mount to get them all together.

If that's shit I might try and pick up a cheap 2nd hand Canon point and shoot for the job.

Well I bought one and just made a quick time lapse with it. Need to sort out camera settings so it stays with the same manual settings. But it was the camera on my homemade kitchen timer rotating unit attach to a window mount on the outside of my window.... ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

cool. I think you have to have Sigur Ros soundtracking it to call it a timelapse though. It's the rules.

One thing I read is that for smooth motion you should aim to have a shutter speed of half the time between frames. So, if you're shooting at 24 frames per second you use 1/48th (1/50th is close enough) shutter, and if you're shooting 1 frame per minute, you use a 30 second shutter speed. It results in nice motion blur without things looking too smeared.

Obviously 720 exposures of 30 seconds (for 12 hours of real time) is gonna be pretty hard on the camera battery.
