Convert many single photos to a timelapse movie. Table of contents. Introduction. If you want to create timelapse videos, you usually take a lot of pictures in a given interval. Often you take some thousand photographs, which you want to convert into a stunning timelapse video. In this tutorial I want to show you a simple possibility how you can bond all you single pictures together, and what you have to look out for when converting your pictures to a timelapse video. Top. Requirements. Virtual Dub Mod. First of all, you will need the free software Virtual Dub Mod.

Get breaking news and the latest headlines on business, entertainment, politics, world news, tech, sports, videos and much more from AOL.

In this tutorial you will learn how to convert many single photos to a stunning timelapse video. I explain how to do that with free tools. Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater's BOYHOOD is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a. It’s Monday, which makes it a good day to channel your inner current-gen Mazda Miata: smiling on the outside, yet ready to give somebody a hardcore evil eye at any.

This is a small but powerful tool, which can edit and create video files. The latest version can always be obtained on the following site: http: //virtualdubmod. You don't even have to install this little tool, just run the exe directly after unzipping the archive.

Video Codec. For encoding you video file you will need a suitable video codec. It will compress the video you want to create, so that it uses less space on your harddisk. Compression is not only important to safe your free space, but also if you plan to publish your video on a video platform like You. Tube or Vimeo, because they cannot handle uncompressed, huge files. Last you couldn't even play such a huge file because the amount of data is too big. Which codec you choose is dependent on some aspects. My suggestions are: x.

Vid – free, but not so wide spread. Div. X – free, very widely spread, but adds a watermark to your videos. You should also notice that the Div. X Codec provides many profiles which make it possible to play your file on other units than your PC (e.

Blu- Ray and DVD players) - the unit only has to support the profile you chose (mostly this is noted directly on the unit). Installation of those codecs should not be a problem, as they all have install assistens which lead you through the installation process. Single Pictures. The most important thing you will need are your single pictures, which you want to convert into a timelapse video. You can use JPEGs directly out of your camera, or of course you can develop RAW files and then use the created JPEGs. All pictures which you want to use should be in the same directory. An important thing is that your pictures are accurately numbered. There cannot be a gap somewhere.

The numeration has to be ordered in the way you want the single pictures to get bonded togheter in your timelapse movie. If this is not the case, you can do so with the help of a very small but effective tool: Ant Renamer gives you many ways to rename all your files with just one click.

One possibility is to number you pictures, what is exactly what you'll ned. Another important thing to check is, if your pictures are all of the same resolution. Otherwise Virtual Dub Mod will not be able to bond your pictures together. Top. Concatenate your pictures. If all the mentioned requirements are complied, you can bond your pictures together to a video: Step 1 – Start Virtual Dub. After you have started Virtual Dub Mod, the following user interface welcomes you: Top. Step 2 - Load the first picture.

The easiest way to add your pictures to the video is via Drag'n' Drop. Just drag the first picture of your picture sequence to the Virtual Dub window. Virtual Dub then automatically scans for more pictures to come in the same directory. Because your pictures are well numbered, all the pics should be added. You can easily check, if the import process caught all your pictures by dragging the time line to the outer right and then have a look at the small laben in the lower right corner: You can also check, if the order of your picture is correct. Just drag the timeline slowly back and forth a bit. If you do this, you can see how your pictures will behave in your video.

Of course this is a bit jerky, but it is enough to tell if everything was imported fine or not and to get a first impression. Top. Step 3 - Set the frame rate. Before you can output the pictures as a video, you have to make some settings.

First of all we determine and set the frame rate. The frame rate tells you how many pictures per second will appear and so can be used to change the playback speed. To set the frame rate click on .

Everything below will be noticed by our eyes and therefore should be avoided. More than 3. 0 pictures per second only make sense if the timelapse video should be played back faster.

The following table gives you a feeling for how many pictures you need at which frame rate, and how long your resulting video will be: No of pictures. Bilder. 0: 2. 10: 2.

Bilder. 0: 4. 20: 4. Bilder. 1: 2. 41: 2. Bilder. 3: 2. 83: 3. Fps = frames/pictures per second. Top. Step 4 - Set and determine the resolution. If you take your photos with a modern camera, the pictures you take usually will be greater than 1.

Mp. This high resolution is not suitable for timelapse videos, it's just too much. There are no displays which could display the whole resolution, and the players could not even play the video file because there is too much data to process. But which resolution do you use? What are you planning to do with your video? Nowadays video portals like You. Tube and Vimeo accept High Definition videos. So it can't be a bad idea to chose a resolution which is quite high.

For reference the following list contains common resolutions: 1. Full. HD resolution. HD resolution, . A list appears, chose . Following interface will appear: Set your resolution there. Filter mode should be set to . It has the highest quality, but you'll have to pay for this with your CPU time.

Very important if you set the resolution is, to keep the original aspect ratio! Unfortunately there is no way to keep it automatically, so you have to tell Virtual Dub on your own. You'll have to calculate a bit for that. Let's do it together on an example: Your origin files have a resolution of 4. Your target resolotion should be the .

So let's calculate the new height of your pictures, so that we keep the original aspect ratio: (2. As you can see, the height is too much, it won't fit into the small HD resolution. You have two choises: Top. Add black beams. If you want to prevent all information which is contained in your pictures and don't want to crop them, you will have to add beams to the video. First of all, you have to calculate the correct resultion of your video: (4. The resolution we need is 1. No information will get lost and the aspect ration is kept.

Now you have to make some settings in the resite filter: Target resoltion is 1. Now you enter the resolution, your video file should have at the end. In our example this would be 1. Last you could change the color of the black bars, if you want to.

Top. 2. Crop your pictures. The second possibility to achieve the target resolution is, to crop you pictures appropriate.

The way you do this in Virtual. Dub Mod is the following one: First of all you enter the resolution, which is the aspect ration kept resolution of your target resolution. That means for our example: 1.

Enter this resolution in the settings for the resize filter. After confirming and closing the resize filter, you add another filter.

This time you chose . This filter just does nothing, but allows you to crop the video. To do so, you select the just added null transform filter and click on the .

The following picture shows you, how you can cut 6. The gray beams show where your beams will be in your video. Don't worry about the color, they are always gray in this preview.

Step 5 - Chose the way of compression. The last step before you can save your pictures as a video file is to chose the video codec. Just click on . A list of all available Codecs will appear. Chose the codec you have determined to be the best for your use.

Double click on it to change the settings of the codec. You should at least set the bitrate! The higher the bitrate, the better the quality will be, but the larger the file. Step 6 - Add audio (optional)If you already have a suitable background music for your timelapse video, then you can now directly add it to your video.

KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL(1. The Film Detective - Blu- ray.

Currently available. Filmmaker Phil Karlson was an optimist, through and through. Whether true stories (The Phenix City Story), frame jobs (9. River Street), high- stakes heists (5 Against the House) or treasure hunts (Hell's Island), his crime films always bore an upbeat resolution, often aided by the charm of onscreen muse (and silent co- producer) John Payne. That being said, these flicks—along with 1.

Jim Austin (John Forsythe) as he attempts to break up a corrupt gambling network. All the while, the lives of those around him hang in the balance, subject to the long arm of the mob and the warm pistol that goes with it. Austin, his suffering spouse Marge (Joan Camden), and poor PI Clyde Nelson (Hal K. Dawson), who suffers the film's most chilling moment, pay a heavy price for daring to campaign for the truth. Josephy's script is a sly indictment of a system that would gladly let a few citizens fall on their swords to maintain the status quo.

Despite the palpable paranoia that was at the time buzzing around the Kefauver Committee's investigation of organized crime (and Sen. Kefauver himself gets screen time here), The Captive City sidesteps the pedantic moralizing so often associated with documentary- style noir, as director Robert Wise deftly slips poignancy into the brew of grandstanding propaganda.

Given the political mistrust that remains to this day, The Captive City still feels surprisingly fresh and significant.—Danilo Castro. Originally published in the Spring 2.

NOIR CITY E- magazine. DARK CRIMES - FILM NOIR THRILLERS: VOL 2 The classic film packagers over at TCM have once again found an interesting hook to organize their new DVD release TCM Vault Collection: Dark Crimes: Volume 2. Their first Dark Crimes set from 2. The Glass Key, Phantom Lady and The Blue Dahlia. The creative mix of this new sophomore outing offers two films each from directors Fritz Lang and William Castle. The amazingly talented Fritz Lang earned no popularity prizes in Hollywood but made consistently brilliant pictures. Sampled here is a slick wartime thriller written by Grahame Green, and a rare, strange genre hybrid.

It may have been Lang's attempt to create a new kind of stylized musical- melodrama crime thriller. Castle is of course the brain behind everyone's favorite horror matinee gimmicks.

A hotshot who made his mark emulating Alfred Hitchcock and consorting with Orson Welles on Mexican locations for The Lady from Shanghai, Castle worked hard at Columbia and Universal trying to distinguish himself as a director. TCM's new . He provides introductions for all four films, going strong on human interest and relevant history plus a little academic nugget or two on the side. Each disc also carries the TCM Vault Collection's expected battery of stills and ad artwork galleries, plus a text essay overview of the collection's aims. You and Me (1. 93. This Paramount release surely confused audiences. After his two successful social outrage films (Fury and You Only Live Once), this tale is not a life and death struggle with fate.

Sylvia Sidney and George Raft play employees at the department store of Jerome Morris (Harry Carey), a do- gooder who hires ex- cons to give them a chance at going straight.
