    Please, tell what the interval did you set.... It came very nicely... ! Good job !
  • Kevin Schmitt 2 years ago
    We recorded all at 30fps and depending on each shot we time-stretched it in After Effects to 40-60% of the original length. Next we used a posterizeTime expression that makes the hole thing work. Again, depending on each shot we used values from 8-13fps

    Thank you Kevin ! So, you record as a video as a prime file... and when you did effect to get a time lapse look ... ? It came very nice... I have to admit. Is it possible to do this somehow with FCP ?
  • Kevin Schmitt 2 years ago
    The posterizeTime expression we used in After Effects kicks out a bunch of inbetween-frames so it looks like time lapse. I don't know if it's possible to do this using FCP. Generally you need to speed it up and apply some sort of posterization effects, that kicks out about the half of your frames so it plays "on twos".

    Hey Valdas, a short tutorial for Final Cut Studio user: vimeo.com/7691197. Basicly the same steps as in AAE.

    Moin! Sehr schön. TS Videos beeindrucken mich jedes Mal aufs neue. Das mit dem PosterizeTime Effekt hab ich nicht verstanden. eigentlich müsste es doch reichen das ein wenig zu beschleunigen und gut ist?!
  • Kevin Schmitt 2 years ago
    Danke. Der posterizeTime Effekt nimmt aus den bereits schnell laufenden 24/25fps noch mal die Hälfte raus und zeigt jeden Frame doppelt solange an. Das macht die Bewegungen ein wenig abgehackter

    looks great... why is all the T/S footage speed up?
  • Dennis Steib 2 years ago
    Thank you! Speeding up time is used to trick the mind into thinking it is seeing a very small object, which exaggerates the effect of minitiarisation.

    Wonderful tutorial, guys! I learned quite a bit from this and I'm starting to experiment on a few things.

    Question: Did you ramp some of the blurs? Some of my initial attempts didn't look as smooth in the transition to the blurred areas. I'm using Camera Lens Blur in AE. Seems to correctly fabricate a T/S appearance, the further distance exists in the pic should be more blurred. Correct?
  • Kevin Schmitt 2 months ago
    Yes, for making it work like that we needed to create different amounts of blur. Therefor we rotoscoped a greyscale depth matte for almost every shot. Basically: the more distant, the more blurred. With tilt shift you really need to make yourself clear how a tilt shift optic works and how your focal plain is laid across the shot. Especially on vertical areas which might get touched by the focal plain like walls and trees, light poles and such...
