Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a time-lapse?
Frames = shooting duration ÷ interval; clip length = frames ÷ output fps. Enter any combination and the tool solves the missing values plus storage and battery needs.
What interval should I use?
Fast clouds/people 1–3 s, sunsets 3–8 s, stars 20–30 s, construction/plants minutes to hours. Shorter intervals give smoother motion but more frames and storage.
How many frames for a smooth clip?
At 24–30 fps, a 10-second clip needs 240–300 frames. Always shoot some buffer beyond the minimum for editing flexibility.
How much storage and battery will it take?
The tool estimates total card space from average frame size and flags long shoots - hundreds to thousands of RAW frames can fill cards and drain batteries, so plan power and capacity.
