Im hoping someone can help me here before this thread gets moved!!!


SOMEONE posted a video file of an entire shoot a couple of months back and im trying to find out what the program was they used to do this with?

It was an entire shoot, image by image around a half second per image, in a movie or mpg file from memory...

You mean like snaps taken every 5 secs or so then put into a slideshow but without transitions?. I didn't see the movie you're talking about, so I'm unsure if this is what you mean. but you can make the images with the canon software image capture. Then load them into a movie program and create the movie. If you have a mac, imovie can do this no problem and gives you different compression output and file options, same as creating a slideshow, I think iphoto might be able to too.

I did this video (http://www.vibrancephotography.com/journal/2008/11/3/community-appreciation-day.html) using QuickTime Pro. It's BY FAR the easiest way I've discovered to do it - and I have some amazing software (Premiere Pro and lots of others).

Awesome thanks, are these all still photos you have made into a video? and can you have less than a 1 second gap between photos?

I think Flash also can do that, but takes more time and reduce quality when you export.

There is also a program that you can set up your mac to do time lapse video using the built in web cam. I cant remember the name right now but if your interested I can look when I get home.

Those are all still photos. I used an intervalometer (Pclix) to take a photo every 6 seconds (if memory serves). I saved all of those to a folder on my desktop and opened QuickTime Pro. In the file menu, chose Open File Sequence and go to the folder where your photos are and it will give you some options to create the movie. The rest is automatic.

Good luck!

Has anyone ever used quicktime to make a movie of an entire shoot thats i both portrait and landscape shots? When i try and do this the first shot is landscape and looks great, but all the portrait shots are stretched to no end...

My ultimate goal is to put a movie up to show everyone an entire shoot, start to finish.

just create a black canvas for your vertical shots that will give them the same aspect ratio as the horizontal shots. obviously the easiest way would be to create an action, then throw all the vertical shots into a folder for batch processing. Save them as "copy" so that the first part of the file name is the same and the images will still be in number order.
