How to make a GoPro time lapse video.
Some fascinating video effects happen when you alter time. To load a ton of action-packed GoPro video into a short clip, try using time lapse editing.
The time lapse editing technique is a fantastic way to show what happened over an extended period in a short clip. It has been used to show how clouds react over an entire day or what a sunrise looks like in a few seconds. Your camera may come with a GoPro time lapse recording mode, but to make sure you can present any scene in time lapse, learn to edit time in post-production.
When your GoPro video project involves showing what happens over an extended period, but you didn’t record in GoPro time lapse mode, don’t worry: You can alter time in your editing software. You may want the time alterations to be nearly imperceptible by just hurrying things up a bit; alternately, you may want to go so fast that all the details blur. Either extreme or somewhere in the middle is possible when you learn to accelerate real-time videos.
